Mean Girls
by Hella ~ May 1st, 2004First off, I had no idea what this movie would be about since I hadn’t seen any previews. I saw Tina Fey on Bob Costas’s show last night and she noted it was opening April 30th. From her descriptions of the cast, I thought the adult characters would play more lead roles. I just didn’t [...]
Connie and Carla
by Hella ~ April 22nd, 2004The previews for this one looked hilarious so I decided to give it a shot tonight. While this is a really fun movie, the focus is more on the talent the girls have and the subplots, where the juice really is, take a while to get started. It’s also covered in more cheese than a [...]
Something’s Gotta Give
by Hella ~ April 3rd, 2004This is one of the better movies I’ve seen in a while and I really didn’t expect that going in because I’m not a big fan of either of the stars. I’m also not a fan of Keanu. However, I really liked how the characters were developed. There were many scenes that were quite humorous. [...]
Phantom of the Opera
by Hella ~ February 25th, 2004Tonight I went to see this show for the second time. I bought tickets many months ago and I forgot exactly how good they were. I somehow was lucky enough to get tickets on the front row in the exact center. The conductor was an arm’s reach away. When I sat down, I thought about [...]
Rental Mania
by Hella ~ February 22nd, 2004I’ve fallen behind on some rentals lately so I decided to make up for lost time today. The weather was dreary and it seemed like a good day for movies. I stopped by Blockbuster and picked up Runaway Jury, Lost in Translation, Freaky Friday, and Uptown Girls. Runaway Jury was the first one I watched. [...]
50 First Dates
by Hella ~ February 21st, 2004I didn’t really know what to expect about this movie because I hadn’t seen any previews in their entirety. I figured it would be about two people that just didn’t connect so they kept agreeing to have another first date. I’m not a big fan of DB, but I have generally enjoyed things by AS. [...]
Along Came Polly
by Hella ~ January 17th, 2004I stepped over to the theater tonight to see Along Came Polly. I was mostly interested in seeing it because I found the previews to be hilarious. I also like several of the cast members, notably AB, JA, and PSH. DM from Will and Grace had a more minor role than I expected. This movie [...]
Honky Tonk and Wellesley
by Hella ~ December 29th, 2003I picked up a new (to me) Deryl Dodd CD and went to watch Mona Lisa Smile tonight. The CD is really good. I bought it mainly for “Things Are Fixin’ To Get Real Good” and there is both a live (at Billy Bob’s Texas) version and one from the studio, listed at Bonus Track [...]
