I read and an article in a magazine one time that took a survey about what trates people search for in a mate. All the usual stuff:
Honesty, integrity, stability…. All of THAT
Then it asked about “looks” .
You know, attractive people. According to the survey most people were not that opinioated about “good looks”. They often said that “looks are really not that important.
But… what they say and what they actually do are often very different things. (more…)

I got tired long ago of movies that focus on immoral, abusive police officers. There are too many of them. Clint Eastwood‘s “Changeling” does that, too, but I can take a small amount of comfort in the fact that ITS police officers exist numerous decades ago in the late 1920s.
Cover of Changeling
And in the fact that there’s a brutal, psychopathic killer in the film whom the police don’t try to protect.
Ah, but what about all the snake-pit balderdash at the mental hospital to which poor Angelina Jolie is consigned?
“Changeling” is more intriguing than successful. Joe Morgenstern of the “Wall Street Journal” correctly points out that
a) folks in the Twenties didn’t jabber about self-esteem and
b) the woman played by Jolie and the preacher played by John Malkovich are together a lot “but don’t really interact.”
They should, but they don’t.
Eastwood’s film handles some grisly subject matter with an ineptitude so many of his other movies have been marked with as well.

What do you think about Marijuana? You know that wacky weed. Opinion’s vary as to rather it is a good thing or an evil drug that’s taking over peoples life’s.
This is demonstrated in the old propaganda film Refer Madness.
Harmless Pot?
Refer madness is silly. It’s good to examine what we really believe about marijuana. It is a good thing? I dunno.

I was talking with this musician. He said he didn’t like the Beatles. He said that he only likes maybe 3 or 4 good songs from their entire catalog. Wing’s stuff included.
“They are overrated.” He said
I said.”What?”
“You heard me.”
I guess so. I was practicing some selective hearing there. It always freaks me out when I hear that kind of thing. Only 3 good songs. Very strange. (more…)

So many dubious words have been written about this Disney lark, sequel to the TV specials, that I decided to respond with my own review.
Now a big-screen item, the movie benefits from having mainly the same cast as the debut “HSM” and “HSM2,” the former of which I have seen (and enjoyed), the latter of which I haven’t. I’m not a good judge of choreography but that which Kenny Ortega, the film’s director, and two others have provided seems impressive to me. (more…)

My friend is going to a Just For Women party tonight. It’s like a Tupperware party for girls..uh.. pleasure accessories. No men allowed. Here are some of my thought’s while walking around Wal-Mart looking at yard tools.

Just For Men?
I don’t think so folks. We guys don’t need that kind of party. Unless of course there are females there. You know, one that will help us buy the correct merchandise. Some may disagree. But I doubt it. (more…)

Christopher Nolan’s Batman movie is certainly not a comedy. It has the elements of tragedy, but whereas something like “Macbeth” offers plot simplicity, “Knight” is a complex mediocrity which I found hard to follow.
What I was able to follow–time and again–made no sense.

The film’s gravity packs a punch, but with action sequences which fail to satisfy. Christian Bale is no big deal as Batman/Bruce Wayne, while Maggie Gyllenhaal, nifty as usual, has an easy part to play. Aaron Eckhart is sophisticatedly true as a district attorney,
Heath Ledger terrifying and magisterial as the Joker–one of the best acting jobs of the year.
