Random Acts of Mind by Dones

We’ve started the domestic adoption process, and part of that process is putting together a picture book of our lives that the expectant mother to look through to select adoptive parents for her child. It’s been quite a fun process for us to go through old family photos, and my mom sent me one […]

Bottom Line: If you saw the first two, you’re required to see this one.
**Note: While this review does assume you have seen the first two POTC films, it contains no spoilers for the current installment**
As much as I adore many movies which are part of a series, I’ve never been much of a fan of […]

Bottom Line: Go see it in a high-quality theater (at a matinee).
Take 3 for the webbed one carries forward the best traits of the first two films, and for good measure it tosses in the best special effects available. If you liked the other two (and if not–why not??) then you’ll love this installment of […]

Casino Roy
Top 007 will return Saturday, with my top 007 Bond moments, as well as my review of good ol’ “Casino Roy”…

To commemorate this week’s release of the latest James Bond film, Casino Royale, I’ll be posting my top 007 (a cheesy way of saying ‘7′) favorites in the Bond franchise.
