The Batman

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) Why was this film so damned loooong? It was a smidgen under three hours, and shorter than Endgame…but it felt like three damn days. If it felt that long on my couch, I cannot imagine how long it felt in the theater. […]

Chicago

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) on Jan 24, 2020 at 6:50pm PST My son is currently ending a run in his high school’s production of Chicago, hence our household being soaked in “All That Jazz” for the last several months. (On a side note, these kids did […]

Sugar & Spice

Ahhhh…this film reminded me of my experiences in High School. Well, not me personally, of course. I never had a “womb with a view” in High School…but many of the girls at my High School did. In addition to Waller High School being full of mothers, there were the infamous pregnant Hempstead Cheerleaders, one town […]

Snatch.

Payback

I hate you, Sean. Why do I hate you? Because you gave away the ending to Payback on my message board about six months ago. I didn’t think I would ever see it, so I didn’t care. For some reason, I ended up watching it last night and so now I hate you. I hope […]

A Simple Plan

Why is Billy Bob Thornton so good at being stupid? One may as well ask why RuPaul looks so good in a dress or why Clinton can’t keep the presidential pecker to himself – it is what they were born to do. Thornton steals the show as the ‘one taco short of a combination platter’ […]
