    What do popular modern movies look like a long time ago?  Here are some examples: In 1950’s, Ghostbusters trailer: In 1940’s, Forrest Gump done by Frank Capra: In the 1920’s, Matrix done as a silent movie: In the 1880’s, S...

  • Buzz Lightyear

    When my daughter was 2, she didn’t have any interest in any of the Toy Story movie.  Maybe because the movies featured a boy with his toys.  Or maybe there was nothing girly about it (ie. no Princess). Now with the Buzz Lightyear Ride in Disn...

  • Star Trek in IMAX (Spoilers Alert)

    Posted on Friday May 8th, 2009 at 21:36 in movies, star trek, imax, motion picture

    Star Trek was one of my favorite childhood TV shows.  I remembered watching Kirk and Spock strutting their stuff on a 12″ TV in the 70’s.  Back then, the ridiculous props, cheesy music, and fuzzy visual effects were captivating to a lit...

    We went to Islands last Wednesday.  It was a warm sunny day when we talked about: The golf game at Dad Miller Golf Course.  It was my annual outing for my friend’s birthday.  We seldom play, so our progress is stagnant. Possibly going golf ...

  • Re-View: Top Gun

    Posted on Saturday January 3rd, 2009 at 02:34 in music, movies, hd-dvd, motion picture

    One of my best movies of the 80’s is Top Gun.  It was a great action film that made guys like Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, and Anthony Edwards famous.  The writing was kind of corny, but it produced a lot of memorable quotes, such as “I feel...

    We went to Outback Steakhouse on my birthday.  It was a warm sunny day when we talked about: Buying a PS3 and not buying Blu-Ray discs.  Is there really a point of buying/collecting movies, when the age of downloadable movie rentals is already her...
