    I mentioned to my sister and brother-in-law a few weeks ago that I had never seen “Shawshank Redemption.” I’m sure their mouths are still open. So, this weekend, I watched it. Oh, my. I would highly recommend this movie. I would suggest re-renting if you haven’t watched this movie since...

    I’ve been meaning to watch “The Savages” with Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman since its 2007 release. It’s a story of siblings who step in to care for their father after their father’s girlfriend dies. The father raised the siblings after their mother never returned from a date. We...

    This week, I watched “Paris,” a movie about how death moves about us as we live. The movie, set in (surprise!) Paris, features the story of Pierre, who awaits a heart transplant. As he worries about dying, he watches strangers around him go about living. He believes, incorrectly, that they...

    It’s Tuesday which means it must be Movie Monday! This week, I watched “The Last Days,” a 1998 documentary that tells the stories of five Hungarian Jews who survived the holocaust. The survivors were barely teenagers when taken from their homes in the spring of 1944. Their memories are incredible–you...

    This week, I watched “An Eduction” and “Hotel Rwanda.” I liked “An Education” and would recommend, but with reservations. Set in 1961 London, “An Education” tells the story of an affair between a 16-year-old and an much older man. My niece didn’t like the movie because the relationship was “too...

    It’s Movie Monday! On a Monday! Last week, I watched “Sunshine Cleaning” and “Smart People.” I really liked “Sunshine Cleaning” and forgot I saw “Smart People” in the theaters. “Sunshine Cleaning” starts Emily Blunt and Amy Adams as sisters starting a crime scene cleaning business. The movie features all the...

    Last night, I watched “Garden State” with Zach Braff and Natalie Portman. The movie tells the story of a young man dealing with a tragedy earlier in his life during a visit home for his mother’s funeral. It’s quirky, a bit rough but also quite magical. The movie shows us...

    This past week, I watched “The Hurt Locker” and “Rocket Science.” “The Hurt Locker” was incredibly intense, so much so that, the day after watching the movie, I saw a headline about a bombing in Kabul and thought: I know exactly where that is. Of course, I didn’t and, of...

    For years, family members and friends would ask me: “Why don’t you get a DVD player? You know, there are really cheap now.” Well, they can question me no more! I have finally cut loose with the $19.99 and purchased a DVD player. And, now I ask myself: “Why did...
