Since we just experienced the Oscars, it got me to thinking of the Best Picture winner from 10 years ago (1999), American Beauty. I remember not liking it much the first time I saw it. I thought it was so violent and so negative and disturbing. However, after time passed and I let it settle…

Ever watch a movie and absolutely LOVE it and then see it come and go without much fanfare? That’s what happened to The Majestic. Critics and audiences just didn’t love it like I did. I know that happens all the time but this one shocked me. It had everything going for it. Jim Carrey, the…
I think one of the reasons why the movie “French Postcards” is so special to me is because it captured the unforgettable experiences one has when traveling abroad in youth. I know because I experienced it during my summers in Italy as a young man. The movie focused on France but it’s the same vibe…
