All good things must come to an end and so was the case with our fortnight in the United Kingdom. As my husband and I ate breakfast and showered we were both sad that our trip was coming to an end, anxious about returning home to uncertainty in a family and work lives but still … More United Kingdom-Day 15-Back to Los Angeles
A few weeks ago my husband and I went to see “Boy Erased”. There were two reasons I wanted to see the film. The first (and largest) is that I am gay man and I am all too familiar with people who believe that being gay is a choice. I also wanted to see the … More Boy Erased
Day fourteen of our trip was the last full day of our two weeks in the United Kingdom. Naturally, we were sad, but we wanted to make the most of our day and at long last the sun was out! After making breakfast and showering we headed out. We took the tube to the far … More United Kingdom-Day 14-Hyde Park
I love horror movies. I always have, and I always will. Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s I loved “A Nightmare on Elm Street” and its sequels, “Friday the 13th” and its sequels and “Halloween” and its sequels. When I heard they were making another “Halloween” film with Jamie Lee Curtis I wondered how … More Halloween
The thirteenth day of our trip to the United Kingdom had us sticking closer to our hotel but it ended up being a challenging day because of the weather. As were eating our breakfast the sun ways sneaking through the clouds. We were both happy about this because the plan was to spend most of … More United Kingdom-Day 13-Kensington Gardens and Palace
A couple of weeks after it came out my husband and I went to see “A Star is Born”. When I heard that Bradley Cooper was doing another remake of “A Star is Born” I wasn’t initially interested but as time went on I became more and more interested. I did see the Barbra Streisand … More A Star is Born
The twelfth day of our trip to the United Kingdom was busier that the prior day but still relatively low key for us. After eating breakfast in our room and showering we headed out for the day. Our first stop for the day was a quick look at the outside of the reconstructions Globe Theater. … More United Kingdom-Day 12-Tate Modern and Afternoon Tea
Back at the end of the September my husband and I went to see “Fahrenheit 11/9” with a friend of ours. Traditionally I have enjoyed Michael Moore’s films. I even think 2004’s “Fahrenheit 9/11” should have been nominated for Best Picture. However, I found this film to be unfocused, strangely edited and naive. There were … More Fahrenheit 11/9
The eleventh day of our trip to the United Kingdom was much more low key than our days normally are on a big trip. Part of that was because we were both utterly exhausted. We had taken a number of day trips earlier on our vacation. Our day trip three days before to Wales had … More United Kingdom-Day 11-The Queen’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace
I think 2012’s “The Conjuring” is probably still the best horror movie of this decade. In the years since the only movie in “The Conjuring” universe I haven’t seen is “Annabelle: Creation”. Both my husband and I thought the nun character in “The Conjuring 2” was the scariest thing in that movie. As a result … More The Nun
