This past weekend we watched the Disney movie, Frozen. Twice, actually. (I know, we’re a bit behind.) Both times as the end credits were rolling (even knowing what was coming the second time) I felt impressed. Not by any technology or effects, though the animation was flawless. It was the story. The princesses are beautiful…

A ‘Monumental’ Documentary
I recently came across this trailer, and it is intriguing to me. There is much in this two minute video that I have also wondered, pondered, questioned. (But I also have to ponder how much can one really learn from Mike Seaver? Sorry, Mr. Cameron…) 🙂 Inevitable barriers to communication aside, this really does look…
Letters To God
The reviews of Letters To God are either glowing, or not kind. And, I can see where most of them are coming from. In some ways this movie was pretty hokey. Some of the acting was bad. Some of the story was a tad unbelievable. Some of the “Christian” part seemed a bit too forced….
Recommendation: Up by Pixar
A week or two ago we all watched the Pixar movie, “Up” together as a family. It was fun to see how it kept nearly everyone’s attention throughout, with lots of fun moments sprinkled through an emotionally touching story. I don’t use those words lightly! When it was over, Kirstie (our 5 year old) and…
Unofficial Star Trek Movie
This weekend I discovered an unofficial Star Trek movie, which was released over the internet, officially completing this month. It’s a three part series which you can watch online, produced by Renegade Studios, and actually has many familiar Star Trek actors in it, some even playing their familiar Star Trek roles. The movie is called…
Indiana Jones (Yeah, The REAL One!)
OK, I found out that I’m behind the times here. Hadn’t heard that Harrison Ford was making another Indiana Jones movie. But indeed it is true. In theaters May 22. Ha! Should be pretty good! (Gonna mess up that box set I have though….) 🙂
Knight Rider – Again?
I mentioned in a previous post that I am a fan of the 80s TV show, Knight Rider. I remember as a young lad having a cool little black t-shirt featuring K.I.T.T. flying through the air. Even had a little Hot Wheels K.I.T.T. of my own. Who didn’t? Well, NBC has a Knight Rider sequel…
The Busyness Continues
Here I am at the Apple store, waiting to meet with a Genius for our Mac Mini. (Was trying to install the newest OS, Leopard, on it last night and that didn’t work.) 🙂 This is the first chance I have had since getting back from vacation to post anything to GregsHead.net! (I used to…
The Water Horse
I was scrolling through the new movie trailers in Front Row tonight and found a movie called “The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep” at the bottom of the list. It was rated PG, so I decided to check it out. Wondered what it might be about. It had some impressive credits (but, don’t they…
Iwo Jima
Over the past couple weeks I have watched two WWII movies at the recommendation of a friend (or, kind of two… Amy wrote about it on her blog loooong ago, but Marie is the friend I was referring to…). She asked if we had seen Letters from Iwo Jima, to which I replied, “No, what’s…
