Originally this movie was released in 1947 with a young Natalie Wood. But I am sharing the 1994 version. This movie is a classic, and one that everyone can enjoy. It may help provide that holiday magic that we sometimes lose. The movie centers on a department store in New York. It’s before Christmas, andContinue reading “Christmas Movie – Miracle on 34th Street”

No October or Halloween would be complete without watching Hocus Pocus. This movie is also a favorite of my sister’s, and since it is her birthday, I’m showcasing it today in her honor.

In 2003, Hollywood decided to make a movie based on this attraction. Real estate agent, Jim Evers and his wife Sara, receive a call from a manContinue reading “Double Feature – The Haunted Mansion”
Double Feature – Beetlejuice
I remember when I was in Junior High that I was often called Lydia by this boy at school. I didn’t know him but I liked it, and since I had dark hair, and was myself a little “strange and unusual” it seemed to be accurate. So today we have Beetlejuice. 1988, Tim Burton gaveContinue reading “Double Feature – Beetlejuice”

I love Joss Whedon, and I especially love this movie.

Double Feature – Dracula Dead and Loving It
This is a horror comedy. It’s a Mel Brooks film, and as I have said before, he’s a genius. The movie was released in 1995, and follows the Bram Stoker Dracula story to a degree, but interpreted as only Mel Brooks can do. Taking place in 1893, the story starts with Thomas Renfield travelling toContinue reading “Double Feature – Dracula Dead and Loving It”

Double Feature – The Addams Family
We were first introduced to the Addams Family in 1964, lead by John Astin. Now don’t get me wrong, this is classic television and I will watch it if it is on TV.
