Stardust
Posted by: Emily on: August 26, 2007
Another satisfyingly lazy weekend afternoon spent at the movies. Today we saw Stardust and, though I knew in advance that it was going to be very different from the book, it was hard to not compare it scene by scene (and think the book much more satisfying). It wasn’t bad, but it was [...]
A Day of Janes
Posted by: Emily on: August 18, 2007
While Brian and Dad are off learning the fine art of fly fishing (apparently Dad already has an excellent “one who got away” story to dine out on), Jane took the opportunity to have an adventure of her own and to come down to SF for a cooking class and then down here to visit [...]
Bourne Ultimatum
Posted by: Emily on: August 5, 2007
The perfect way to spend a hot lazy Sunday is at the movies of course, so we went to see The Bourne Ultimatum this afternoon. Its an excellent, edge of your seat film and well worth having seen in the big screen.
HP #5
Posted by: Emily on: July 14, 2007
We went to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix this morning along with Karen, Herb, Rosanne and her son, and Emy & Ray (and a theater full of other people from work since it was a special showing). The movie, of course, was awesome. I just wish I had reread [...]
Waiting for Saturday
Posted by: Emily on: July 11, 2007
Its hard not to go tonight (no chance of me staying up late enough to go last night) to the new Harry Potter movie, but I’m actually waiting until Saturday morning when our company’s having a special morning showing. Of course its awfully tempting to go across the street and see it on the Tech’s [...]
Ratatouille
Posted by: Emily on: June 30, 2007
Since we can never resist a Pixar movie, we took a well-deserved break from a day of grading papers to go see Ratatouille. I loved it and can’t wait until we can see it on DVD with all the extras and outtakes (always the best part of already awesome Pixar films).
Amanda Clips

Constance sent along the link to this great clip reel of Amanda, an up-and-coming journalist! It was so great to see her when we were in NYC a few weeks ago and is amazing to see her on camera like this!
Isreel
Posted by: Emily on: May 20, 2007
We went to see 4 (two full length, 2 shorts) films from Israel as part of the San Jose Jewish Film Festival. The Oscar winning West Bank Story was cute, the documentary Avi, Avi was boring. The short on Falafel was ok, and I really enjoyed Three Mothers.
Bridge to Terabithia
Posted by: emily on: February 10, 2007
Disney’s made a movie version of Bridge to Terabithia. that opens next week I just saw the trailer and couldn’t believe it was the book I remembered reading, and being completely traumatized by, years ago. Somehow I carried around one memory from it all these years, and it wasn’t the kind of thing [...]
