"The Simpsons" Movie is finally here! We are so excited, and yes, we will definitely see it this weekend.

We, like so many people, are huge Simpsons fans. Below is a picture from a Simpsons Halloween party we hosted a couple of years ago. Rob went as Mr. Burns and Lori as Otto. We had beer and donuts as snack food, played some funs games and had a great time.

The movie "1408" is a thriller that must be seen. Mikael Håfström, the director, does an excellent job of placing you in the panic of the situation and orchestras events that prescribe fear. Håfström keeps your attention through out this movie by personifying "the room" with his stylist direction, intense sound effects and subtle clues. If you are a Carpenters' fan, after seeing this movie, you will have a different sentiment for the song "We've Only Just Begun." Can't explain...just have to see.

M. Night Shyamalan is one of my favorite directors. Håfström is on stride to join that group. "1408" is the best thriller of the year. Since "1408" was released on June 22, I'm not sure how long it will remain in theaters. So don't delay, call the Dolphin Hotel and ask for room 1408. You will not be disappointed.

On Tuesday night, I saw one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. "Live Free and Die Hard" is horrific. Not since "The English Patient", have I seen a more inferior movie at the theater. The script appears to be written at a 1st grade level and the plot is like showing up at Golden Corral for all-you-can-eat fake crab. After awhile, you get sick and yearn for the real thing. Most action movies have an excellent plot, great script, believable actors and a soundtrack to get your blood pumping. Not with "Live Free and Die Hard." It is so depressingly made, that they should be selling Prozac at the concession stand.

I like action movies. "Aliens", "Die Hard", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "The Road Warrior" and "The Matrix" are a few of the classic action movies. As I write this, I am still trying to vanquish this movie from my mind. "Live Free and Die Hard" is no action movie....it is barely a movie.

If you want to see a great movie, check out "Knocked Up" or "Ratatouille". You will not be disappointed.
