Romancing the Stone (Special Edition)

Strix had never seen this, so it ended up on our Netflix list. What a silly, campy little movie this is, very much a product of the 80's (1984, to be exact). Still, it's a fun little movie, and the plot makes more sense to me now that I'm no lo...

Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest [Blu-ray]

We watched this tonight while eating a wonderful spaghetti pomodoro that Strix made with a home-grown tomato given to her by one of her co-workers. The food has nothing to do with the movie; I just thought I'd mention it. Anyway, Dead Man's Ches...

Any Questions

I worked early this morning, and when I got home we went out geocaching. We only got two accomplished, but they were both multi-caches, which are usually a lot of fun. For the first cache, we parked on the wrong side of the highway and ended up ...

The Scarlet Pimpernel

This is the original Scarlet Pimpernel, 1934. The sound quality was rather poor, but it was still fun to watch. It's a masked avenger adventure along the same lines of Zorro, if you aren't familiar with the story. Set during the time of the ...
