This blog page is used for many things. It's used for your entertainment, it's used for me to offer some tips and maybe a bit of advice on things I know very little about, and it's used for me to jot down crazy ideas that pass through my mind before they're lost forever. But largely, it's also used as a way for me to look back over the past few years, and remember the things I've done, both small and large, and maybe even how I've done them.
 In case you haven't noticed, one of those small things that's fun for me to look back on is the list of movies I've gone out to see. This year so far, I've gone to two. Wow. They included "Sherlock Holmes" back on February 15th, and the new "Robin Hood" on May 20th. Sherlock Holmes interested me, of course, because we have something great in common. He's really smart, and I can usually outsmart my 3 year old. See? Of course. It was also really cool to be able to visit London shortly after, of course recognizing many of the landmaks.
 Robin Hood was a must see for a couple reasons. The first would simply be I've always been a Robin Hood fan. The other (also the reason I first heard of this movie long before it was advertised) is thatAlan Doyle of Great Big Sea playedAllan A'Dayle of The Merry Men. And did very well, I would say. I really liked how they turned things around a bit from Disney's version, but still kept the Robin Hood basics. Great ideas!
Both great movies, and both, of course, to be added to my collection in the near future. Stay tuned! |
