Renaissance 2.0
I was involved in a horrific six-car pile-up yesterday on my way home from work. I’m sharing this amazing movie called “Unbreakable” because that’s how I felt during the shocking experience of being trapped in my car as it got slammed from the rear with great impact, which then hurled my car into the vehicle…
HeartBurn (1986) is a memorable movie directed by the great Mike Nichols. Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson were brilliant. Their characters were based on real life Nora Ephron and her then husband Carl Bernstein who was the famous journalist from Watergate along with his partner Woodward. Nora Ephron was also the screenwriter for this wonderful…
Definitely, Maybe (2008) caught me by surprise. I liked the people that produced it because they were behind some of my favorite movies (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Nottinghill, Love, Actually, etc.) but other then that I didn’t know anyone else involved with the film.

Yeah, I love all things Jane Austen. Her books and even all of the movies based on her classic novels! The best ones being “Sense & Sensibility” and “Pride & Prejudice” (Kiera Knightley version).

Even though the song is about 25 years old it fits so well in today’s internet age. With all of the friends we make online these days on all of the social networks this song kind of says it all. Even if most of us never meet in person, somehow we’re all linked together in…
Green Card (1990) is a smart, touching love story. Andie MacDowell and Gérard Depardieu were perfect as the mismatched couple thrown together by fate and destiny. Both characters had their reasons for putting up with the other but in the end they discovered much to their horror that they had fallen for them. The mark…
Over 20 years ago, Dr. McDreamy (Patrick Dempsey) from Grey’s Anatomy starred in an underrated coming of age movie called “Can’t Buy Me Love” (1987). Amanda Peterson co-starred as the object of his affection. It was the 80s equivalent of Beauty and the Geek as he tries to get popular by paying her to pretend…
