Mrs. McGinty’s Dead–Before You See It

All right.  Before I start my review of this movie, I have to explain a few things.  I am a HUGE Hercule Poirot fan, and I have read every book at least five times (I have them all).  When I first started watching movies on any kind on a regular basis (meaning with the aid… Continue Reading

Paperback Romance–Before You See It

Ed. Note:  In the comment section, a reader corrected me as to when Anthony and Gia met.  They met on the set of  ”The Custodian” in 1993, and this movie was made in 1994.  I apologize for the misinformation.                                   … Continue Reading

Charlotte Sometimes–Before You See It

Ed. Note:  This is mostly fine to read before seeing the movie.  I will indicate where you might want to stop reading if you want to watch the last ten minutes of the movie without knowing what’s going to happen.                                                                                                                                         4:44 a.m.    6/3/4/04 I have a new favorite movie, and it’s called Charlotte Sometimes. Now,… Continue Reading

Batman Begins–Before You See It

Ed. Note:  I labeled this a before you see it review because there aren’t many spoilers in a Hollywood blockbuster.  However, if you really don’t want to know anything before watching this movie, then you may want to read this after.  Consider yourself forewarned.                                                                                                                                          3:48 a.m.    7/3/4/05 I am Batman. No, I’m not, but I… Continue Reading

Godspell–BEFORE You See It

                                                                                                                                     10:50 p.m.    5/12/06 Ok. I like musicals. I am able to suspend my critical eye when it comes to plot, characters, etc. I don’t expect as much, narratively, as long as there is kick-ass music. Oh, some dancing is nice, too, but not required. I had read good things about Godspell, so I decided to… Continue Reading

Truly Madly Deeply–Before You See It

                                                                                                                               4:00 a.m.             1/15/16/05 I have long since established that two things make any movie better.  Cello music and Alan Rickman.  Truly Madly Deeply have both, which makes it one of my favorite movies.  No, those aren’t the only reasons I like this movie so much, but it’s a good start.  In fact, Alan Rickman is… Continue Reading

Harry Potter and the Sorceror’s Stone–Before You See It

                                                                                                                           4:18 a.m.         1/15/16/05 The first time I saw Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, I had more important business to take care of-such as watching someone’s ass as he lay on the floor before me.  That’s why when I watched it the second time, a few years later, I couldn’t remember seeing it before. … Continue Reading
