No Straight Arrow & Forever After

Two movie habits that people find strange about me: 1) I can watch movies alone 2) I would prefer an action adventure or 3D animation over a sappy romantic film anytime. I have no patience for regurgitated romantic plots where two people fall in love and live happily ever after. Imagine my glee when somebody finally found the balls to kill Meg Ryan's character in City of Angels. Not surprised that people hated that movie.

I watched Robinhood two weeks ago and sad to say, Sir Ridley Scott missed his mark. Some scenes were a drag, Russell Crowe was the Gladiator who mastered archery without the strappy sandals, and it was short of being a movie simply made to stroke the British ego. Cate Blanchett was brilliant, as usual. Scott's gloomy version of Robinhood was nothing like Howard Pyle's merry, thieving weasel. Give me that sly old fox of Disney anytime.

Today was for the stinking. mud-loving ogre who was transported to an alternate universe after signing a deal with Rumplestiltskin. I've had my share of laughs and got my $10 worth of amusement. But nothing beats the original Shek movie with that kick-ass Duloc Song.


Keep your feet off the grass,
Shine your shoes,
Wipe your........face!!

Maybe Tomorrow...Things Would Get Better

I've been down and
I'm wondering why
These little black clouds
Keep walking around
With me


It wastes time
And I'd rather be high
Think I'll walk me outside
And buy a rainbow smile
But be free
They're all free

So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home

I look around at a beautiful life
Been the upperside of down
Been the inside of out
But we breathe
We breathe
