New Twitter Movie: For the Birds

Here’s a new Twitter short movie that shows the impact each and every person you follow has on your social network! Have you ever had someone “hog the line” and cause a stir like this? The Betty Boop song might explain why some do what they do online.

The Goodbye Girl

Neil Simon’s “The Goodbye Girl” (1977) was a classic comedy that earned Richard Dreyfuss a much-deserved Oscar for Best Actor. It came against a tremendous challenger in Woody Allen in the lead role in his own “Annie Hall” which won the Best Picture Oscar over The Goodbye Girl. It  also earned Diane Keaton the Best…

American Beauty

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…

Slumdog Millionaire

I’ve never liked a movie that I haven’t seen yet as much as I already like “Slumdog Millionaire”. I think it has to do with the beautiful music from the film by A.R. Rahman and the central love story between the boy and the stunning beauty played by Freida Pinto. I can’t wait to see…

The Thing of it is…Paris

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…

flatliners

Flatliners (1990) is a vastly underrated movie that stays with you. It features some young stars like Julia Roberts and Keifer Sutherland but the subject matter of life and most of all death steals the show. These young men and women learn valuable lessons as we do as they get the rare opportunity to have…
