I Am a Man of Infinite Possibility

Posted on January 8, 2020 by cdsmiller17

Mr. Nobody (2009) I’m surprised I haven’t written a review of this film before now. Perhaps I did, but only on Facebook. My daughter, Rosanna, suggested I watch it (as she’s a fan of Jared Leto). So, what can I … Continue reading →

Is This the Real Thing or Just a Fantasy?

Posted on April 1, 2019 by cdsmiller17

Interstellar (2014) I knew when I first saw this movie that I would return to it some day: today is that day. As always, movies are open to individualized interpretation. This one is no different:   The US Space Force … Continue reading →

The Machine Stops…
