Blades of Glory (Widescreen Edition) Peggy Fleming 1968 world Championships

Drake and I are never up on the latest movies--and we have a hard time getting the full value from our rock-bottom Netflix plan (the one they offered us when we tried to quit). We go to so much music (symphony, opera, ballet) that it pretty much ...

Tristan and Isolde

We watched this last night - very moving interpretation of the Tristan and Isolde legend. We know this story from the Wagner opera of course, but also recently we've been listening to the Teaching Company's lecture set on Arthurian legend (I'd li...

Joshua Bell ~ Bernstein - West Side Story Suite

My absolute favorite movie in high school was West Side Story. I saw it originally for some class (I can't remember which now - maybe English when we were studying Romeo and Juliet). I subsequently watched it on at least two other occasions at ...

Who killed?

We are trying to make lemonade from lemons this weekend - so yesterday's little luxury was catching a matinee of Who Killed the Electric Car? followed by a couple of butter-pecan ice cream cones. Mmmmm. Who Killed the Electric Car? is clearly ...

The Poseidon Adventure

I am just finishing up a project for a major cruise line. As a result, for the past few weeks I have been immersed in all things cruise. I've never been on a cruise, so I spent a fair amount of time researching what the cruise experience is lik...

Chariots of Fire

We aren't very attentive to our Netflix queue. Both Drake and I add things to it, but we almost never go in and organize it. So, movies pop-up with a kind of randomness. On Thursday, Chariots of Fire landed in our mailbox - a funny coincide...

An Inconvenient Truth

We saw this over the weekend. Loved it, though I suspect some fine points regarding the data presented were overlooked. It's true, for example, that China has higher mileage standards than the US, but it's also true that they have had almost no...

Grey Gardens - Criterion Collection

We watched this last night. I'm not sure what to think of it. While I was watching it, it gave me a slight headache - too much yelling and simultaneous dialog (more like simultaneous monologue). It seem exploitive, as well, of two vulnerable p...
