Dan’s Favorite Films: Planet Of The Apes & Austin Powers

I wonder if any two movies on my list could be any more dissimilar than our two choices for this week. Planet of The Apes and Austin Powers. Simply strange! I hope you’ve all been having a great week. I have to admit that I didn’t catch as many movies as [...]

Dan’s Favorite Films: The Deer Hunter & The Third Man

Okay, I promised my thoughts on Garden State, and … it lived up to the hype! It is so rare that a movie (or anything else for that matter) seems to live up to the hype. This story, about a young man coming home for a funeral, is sharp, funny, happy, sad and [...]

Dan’s Favorite Films: The Searchers & Bridge On The River Kwai

Greetings! I’ve (literally) just finished watching Before Sunrise. A friend of mine had seen Before Sunset (the sequel) and recommended that I check them both out. I was pleasantly surprised! Why is it that I was surprised to enjoy the film? I usually do not like Ethan Hawke films. I [...]

Dan’s Favorite Films: The Manchurian Candidate & Spinal Tap

Letting It Go – In Defense Of Svetlana Khorkina

For the most part I stayed away from Olympic coverage. Partly because I admittedly only watch about 1 hour of coverage a day and partly because there was just so much out there that you weren’t going to read much from The Musings that you wouldn’t have read elsewhere. [...]

Dan’s Favorite Films: It’s A Wonderful Life & The Best Years Of Our Lives

I’ve always found the term Swan Song to be interesting. While it’s a corny legend that a swan sings a beautiful tune before dying, it gave birth to a very poignant term to describe a final gift from an individual. I happened to have seen On Golden Pond and Field of Dreams this [...]
