Here is what she said… Read the rest of this entry »

Welcome to day 29, and the next chick flick that I’m scheduled to watch before Valentine’s Day, this Sunday.
Today’s film is “Valentine’s Day”, starring @aplusk, Jamie Foxx, @jessicaalba, Patrick Dempsey, @IAMQUEENLATIFAH, and more. This movie debuts across America, tonight. It was produced by Karz Entertainment, et al.
@amy_pfister recommended this motion picture. My wife, and I plan to watch it with family, and friends at tonight’s “30 Chick Flicks” Finale Watch Party.
The event is open to the public, and scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m., inside Royal Twin Theatre in Pauls Valley, Okla.
Some of you have suggested on Twitter that a movie based upon a book should be able to stand on its own.
A person should be able to watch a motion picture without having first read the literature that inspired it. Likewise, a book should be free of a movie to define its existence.
With that said, I feel like I missed something from the beginning of “The Time Traveler’s Wife“. It’s as if I missed the first 30 minutes of this film, or another movie (a prequel) altogether. Read the rest of this entry »
Big dreams live in small towns; roller derby girls do, too.
While I know little about the sport, I do know that Oklahoma (my home state) has three roller derby amateur leagues.
According to one league’s Twitter page bio, the Oklahoma City Roller Derby has been “turning wimpy little OKC girls into women since 2006.”
My wife, and I have plans to go watch a local roller derby match this year now thanks to this movie. Read the rest of this entry »

Today’s film is “Leap Year”, starring Amy Adams, Matthew Goode, Adam Scott, and John Lithgow. This movie debuted Jan. 8, this month; it was produced by @Universalpics, et al.
@helyreilly from Toronto, recommended the movie. My wife, another couple—Brandon, and Callie, and I plan to watch this chick flick in Royal Twin Theatre in Pauls Valley, Okla.
“Always, always, always a bridesmaid” read the headline from the article written by James Marsden’s character, Kevin, about Katherine Heigl’s character, Jane.
Aside from the spattering of weddings, this movie is chock-full of the fabric worn by women to commemorate matrimony.
Even more specifically, the duds worn by a perpetual bridesmaid, Jane; hence the name, “27 Dresses“.
Admittedly, I had given little thought to the complexities of being a bride, much less a bridesmaid, prior to this film. Read the rest of this entry »
