I have loved the movies ever since I saw “The Wizard of Oz” as a young boy. When Beatle-mania hit the USA, Rock-N-Roll was my greatest passion, but I haven’t enjoyed the current music scene nearly as much over the past 15 years, so that void has been filled by film. In college and med school, I would see movies with my friends and we would stay up late into the night chatting about them. I still love seeing movies with friends and then having dinner to discuss them. This blog evolved out of my desire to tell my movie-loving friends about movies I thought they would enjoy. The blog allows me to do this in a fun way and to reach movie fans everywhere.

It’s been about 20 years since Sally Field had a leading role, and it’s sure nice to see her again.  I had forgotten what a

I wasn’t especially interested in seeing this movie.  I didn’t know about this super-hero from the Marvel comic book universe, and the reviews were mediocre.
