Review: My wife had a photoshoot yesterday and as is often the case, was wiped out afterwards. She ended up in bed early last night as a result, so I found a movie to watch. This ended up being In the Tall Grass. I saw this movie when it originally became available on Netflix and, while I remembered parts of it, couldn't remember if it was a movie I enjoyed. After re-watching it, I decided it was an OK film but nothing I'd consider memorable. I think the biggest problem with this movie (and possibly t...

  They must have been cold. I don't normally see Echo and Stormcloud on our bed at the same time and almost never that close together. It didn't last long. Soon after I took the photo, they were both awake and looking to eat. ________________________________________________________________ Here are some other cat photos: I Think Our Cat May Be in Need of Rehab Who Needs a TV When You Have a Window Just Some Random Cat Photos King of the Cat Tree

My wife took an extended break from modeling but is attempting to get back into it after taking the past 8 months off. I went along as her chaperone/chauffer and, mostly to keep myself occupied for the three-hour-long shoot, took some behind-the-scenes shots with my camera. It was a Valentine's Day-themed shoot and got a bit steamy. I kept my photos in the PG/PG-13 category though. Here are some of them.

Synopsis: From the moment Austin Shelby met Hekalu Selba, he disliked the Martian nobleman and suspected it wasn't just because of the affection his girlfriend, Jan, showed toward Shelba. Shelby's suspicions are confirmed when Selba attempts to obtain his formula for an atomic ray gun, going as far as to take Shelby and Jan prisoner. Shelby then learns Selba is working with a race of Star Men with plans to conquer the solar system. Review: I picked up a copy of The Revolt of Star Men  both because he was an author from my hometown of Beaver Dam, WI and because I needed a book to serve as a palate cleanser before reading another Agatha Raisin mystery. I finished the book tonight and will admit it exceeded my expectations. I was a bit skeptical when I started reading the book, mostly because it is a story that was written nearly 100 years ago and long before human space travel was a thing. I figured, at minimum, the material would be severely dated to the point the story would c...

Synopsis: While serving in Iraq, Logan comes across a photo of a mystery woman. Soon after, he survives multiple situations that should have killed him and believes the photo, or possibly the woman in it, is a good luck charm. When he returns to the United States, Logan travels to Louisiana to find the woman and thank and falls in love. Who's in it? The movie stars Zac Efron , Taylor Schilling, Blythe Danner, Riley Thomas Stewart and Jay Ferguson. Review: I don't normally watch romantic movies without my wife but do occasionally come across one that seems interesting enough to give a try even if she isn't in the room with me. That was the case with The Lucky One . Unfortunately, it ended up being a disappointment. Let me start out by saying I didn't think this was a bad movie. As far as romance films go, it was OK. The reason I thought it was a disappointment is it had the potential to be so much more than it was. The part about Logan (Efron) finding the photograph a...

Synopsis: A pair of newlyweds, Gerald and Marianne, are driving through Bavaria when their car runs out of gas. They find lodging in a small village and accept an invitation to a costume ball held by a local, Dr. Ravna, not knowing he is the leader of a vampire cult. When Marianne is kidnapped by Ravna during the party, Gerald tries to rescue her but finds the villagers unwilling to help. Who's in it? The movie stars Clifford Evans, Noel Willman, Edward de Souza, Jennifer Daniel and Jacquie Wallace. Review: I was reasonably confident I had seen The Kiss of the Vampire before. However, it was a long time ago and as has often been the case as I've gotten older, I didn't remember anything about it. So, I decided to give it a try. I'm always a bit pessimistic when it comes to vampire movies from the 60s and 70s. While there are some good ones, many (most) tend to be too predictable, too corny or not much better than a soft-core porn film. I am happy to say this is one o...
