It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year?
Let’s all gather around the fake tree – the tattered Tannenbaum that no one will want to take down in January – and pretend we can’t wait to watch “A Christmas Story” for 24 straight hours on tbs. Fah-ra-ra-ra-ra. It’s … Continue reading

Winter’s Bone
If you have ever lived in certain parts of the South for any length of time, spend two hours watching this movie. If you have never lived down here, spend those same two hours getting acquainted with the landscape.
Get Low
The packed theater darkens. There are no previews. What flows across the screen appears to be 1930’s Tennessee. Accents like the ones I grew up with in Alabama pour from the Dolby speakers. My mind returns to the storytellers I … Continue reading

Back in the Saddle
The sky is filled with coral and amber blushing against torn clouds edged in a metallic glow. The horizon slices the landscape in half, carving the bottom into a harsh, beautiful surface to be appreciated if not traversed. Through this … Continue reading
Hick Flick
My daughter made me watch “The Notebook.” My wife made me watch “Pretty Woman.” They both made me watch “Sweet Home Alabama” and “How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days.” I am pretty sure if Josh Lucas or Matthew … Continue reading
