Babes In Toyland (1961)
Disney’s first big screen live-action musical was “Babes in Toyland” starring Annette Funicello, Tommy Sands, Ray Rolger, and Ed Wynn (among others). I had seen it as a small kid and enjoyed it. I just now watched it again as a twenty six year old kid and I kinda …

The Winning Team movie

Twilight Drive-In Theatre Langley, BC
One of the biggest signs of spring in the Vancouver area of BC is the opening of one of the few remaining drive-in theatres in the province, the Twilight Drive-In in Langley. I have gone to movies there when I was a teen-ager, many years ago now, but as …
Movie Only You
Only You starring Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr., is a funny, charming and shamelessly romantic movie. It does not pretend to be anything other than it is, it is a movie for people who love romantic comedies, and who love the concept of romance, and believe that it …

The movie The Great Mouse Detective

Flight of the Navigator movie

In a lonely place movie
Nicholas Ray showed his incredible craft and vision with this Humphrey Bogart-film of the early 1950s. Ray worked in many different genres and did an excellent job almost every time, but perhaps he is most famous for his cult rated Rebel without a cause with James Dean. In a …
Columbo: Murder in Malibu movie
Directed by Walter Grauman (had to mention that because I met him once), Columbo: Murder in Malibu was one of the 1990 Columbo movies. This one featured Andrew Stevens as the two-timing Wayne Jennings. He’s loved by the ladies, but he’s not really a nice guy.

Pride and Prejudice, 2005
I’ve just returned from seeing the new “Pride and Prejudice” (2005, starring Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet and Matthew MacFadyen as Mr. Darcy). What can I say.
