May Movie Mania wrapped up this afternoon with Sex and the City (yes, I know it’s June 1… but the movie did open in May we just couldn’t get there until today).
This movie was pure bliss. I was a major fan of the series. I loved every minute of the series and the movie caps [...]

Friday Geek Out: Roundhouse

Jeff -

Zip back in time 16 years to August 1992 and you’d find Nickelodeon’s debut of SNICK (Saturday Night Nick), which was geared to a teen audience featuring shows like Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Clarissa Explains It All, Pete & Pete, and my favorite of them all—Roundhouse.
Roundhouse was a musical, comedy, educational show that [...]

We’d heard the buzz about Juno for the past couple weeks and we dropped our $23.50 this morning to check it out for ourselves. It was a fantastic film! The film centers on 16-year-old Juno, who finds out she is pregnant as the film opens. She decides she’s going to give her baby up to [...]

The play made it’s New York debut earlier this [...]

The movie is a modern version of a typical Disney film: [...]

Waitress Deserves a Big Tip

Keri Russell (TV’s Felicity) stars as a waitress, Jenna, who is trapped in a marriage from hell and is newly pregnant. What she really [...]

Hot Fuzz

Jeff -

Lately our choice around what movies we see in the theater tends to come down to a single question: Is the move worth $22? That’s the cost of admission for the two of us… yes, you read right, NYC movie tickets are $11 each. And there are no “matinee” prices.
This afternoon the $22 was well [...]
