  • Movie – “The Big Short”

    In 2010, my Dad asked if I was interested in buying a house or apartment.  Interest rates were very low, and there were a lot of houses on the market due to the recent downturn.  I said no at the time because I didn’t have any savings which I could devote to a down payment, and […]

  • Movies – Oscar Roundup

    Posted on March 3, 2016March 3, 2016

    When you’re on a quest to see as many of the Oscar-nominated films as possible, and it’s getting to the last minute and so many are out of the theaters, what do you do?  You turn to what you have.  In this case it means Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Video on Demand services.  None of […]

  • Movie – Shaun the Sheep

    As a complete-ist, I have to finish as much of a thing as possible.  So when watching Oscar-nominated movies, I’m obligated to watch the animated features as well, because I have to.  It’s totally not because I want to.  Except maybe for this one.  Ok, all of them.  I really like animated movies, and those […]

    Watching movies for the Oscars is hard.  Because not all of them are movies that you would normally go to see if you were just heading out for an evening at the cinema.  So while I’d heard about “Sicario”, it’s not necessarily one that I would have chosen to go see if I were spending […]

  • Movie – “Brooklyn”

    Another week, another movie for my #Oscarwatch2016.  This time, I went to see Brooklyn.  Again, I went by myself because the boy would be working late, and I didn’t imagine he’d miss seeing it.  I was correct.  But it was still very good, and he might have liked it.  You might like it too – […]

  • Movie – “Spotlight”

    Posted on February 4, 2016February 3, 2016

    During the snow days, there were only so many ways to amuse myself at home before I just needed to get out of the house.  And since the roads near us were fairly well cleared, and I only needed to use major roads to get to a movie theater, I decided to head outdoors and […]

    Every year, I like to watch as many of the Oscar nominated films as possible.  This year, I was lucky enough to have seen 10 of the nominated films before nominations came out.  But since there are 57 total nominated films -many of which are still in theaters – I knew I had some work to […]

    Programming note: Monday is MLK Day in the US.  As such, I have a holiday from work, and according to the rules I set out for myself, I get the day off.  I’ll be enjoying my time away, and I hope you all do as well.  Regular posting returns on Tuesday.  And now for today’s […]
