Woodstock ---Celebrate the 40th Anniversary

by this.is.not.here@evpl on Tuesday, August 18 2009, 8:57pm

No. Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. This is really a 3 day Woodstock Ticket from 1969. My husband fooled around with the wording from our copy of the Woodstock videocasette and came up with this "collage." And No I didn't go...

'Horsemen' Blasts Out of the Starting Gate, but Finishes Out of the Money

by PotionsMaster@evpl on Tuesday, August 18 2009, 10:20am

I admit it, I like horror movies and the 'psychological thriller' genre. I like the delicious 'scared-but-not-really' feeling they give and besides, it gives me an excuse to latch on to my husband for dear life. I also have a life that...

The Chaos Experiment (aka The Steam Experiment) sure to be nominated for a 'Razzie'

by HRevvdon@evpl on Thursday, August 13 2009, 8:44pm

Occasionally I like watching a thriller and when I found out that The Chaos Experiment (2009) was filmed in Grand Rapids, Michigan - using many landmark buildings, including one in which I used to work - I needed to order it up on Netflix. I don't...

Has This Ever Happened To You?

by this.is.not.here@evpl on Wednesday, August 12 2009, 5:57pm

As a Reader's Advisor who sits under a sign that says INFORMATION I have had a lot of reference questions through the years. Have you ever gotten a "reference" question like this? "Do you have this movie?" You sit with breathless...

Not so Fast, and you may leave Furious

by E-Ville Librarian@evpl on Monday, August 10 2009, 9:00am

First off, I don't care how tough of a rear wheel-drive car you have, wheelies are pretty much impossible in a car that has an engine under the hood. Even Fieros don't do wheelies, let alone V-8 muscle cars from the 70's, so you can understand...

AMC's MAD MEN Season's 1 & 2

by HRevvdon@evpl on Monday, August 3 2009, 3:04pm

I just finished my marathon weekend of watching AMC's series MAD MEN Season 2 . This smart and intelligent series is great. The characters are fascinating and the thought to detail is amazing. The time era is the 1960's, and they bring the news...

To Be and To Have

by wag.mado@evpl on Thursday, June 18 2009, 2:38pm

Recently, I revisited some of my favorite movies – ones that stayed with me for weeks after seeing them. Here’s what I had to say following my first viewing of To Be and To Have in 2005. It still holds true today. If you shy away from subtitles...

Reminder: DTV Transition happening FRIDAY!

by professor.knowsitall@evpl on Thursday, June 11 2009, 4:13pm

On Friday, 2.8 million households will riot in the streets when their TVs cease to work. Okay, slight exaggeration...hopefully there will be no rioting. But the "2.8 million households" statistic is no joke, according to figures released yesterday...

Pay Attention!

by kiya@evpl on Tuesday, June 2 2009, 9:42am

I had never heard of Vantage Point (2008) when my son brought it home. He had seen previews on other DVDs, and thought it looked interesting. I wasn't even planning to watch it, figuring I'd just continue reading my book. Well, it caught me right...

I Capture the Castle - ever wonder what happened to ET's Henry Thomas?

by HRevvdon@evpl on Wednesday, May 27 2009, 9:31pm

A few years back I read a book called I Capture the Castle (1948) because it was written by the author of 101 Dalmations (1956), Dodi Smith. Unlike 101 Dalmations , I Capture the Castle is not a children's book. It is about a family that is pretty...

The Spiderwick Chronicles - great FX!

by HRevvdon@evpl on Wednesday, May 27 2009, 9:20pm

I don't know what made me pick up this dvd, The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008), as I have not read any of the children's books - but I am happy that I did. Maybe because any movie with David Straithairn, Mary-Louise Parker, and Joan Plowright has...

Last Chance Harvey - sad, sweet, funny & Emma Thompson

by HRevvdon@evpl on Monday, May 18 2009, 4:39pm

Last Chance Harvey (2008) starts out kind of sad and depressing. I also thought, well, just another "chick flick." I stuck it out for Emma Thompson, and I guess because of Dustin Hoffman, but mostly for Emma Thompson. After 15 minutes or so...

What is your favorite episode of the original tv series Star Trek? Mine is definitely "I Mudd" . And I just found out that you can actually watch full length Star Trek episodes on your computer. Talk about instant gratification...... This is...

New Bond Left Me Stirred, Not Shaken

by E-Ville Librarian@evpl on Friday, April 10 2009, 10:05am

I have to say I've always been a fan of the 007 franchise of movies. From Sean to Roger , Dalton to Brosnan , I've seen them all. However, until Daniel Craig took the reigns of Her Majesty's most secret assignments I never knew how really...
