Animated cartoons
I’m not quite sure why, but the days before and just after Christmas are the perfect time for me to watch animated cartoons (is that the right term to use?). Somehow it’s the perfect moment to…
Happy Halloween!
I love spooky movies, especially old black and white films from the 1950s or earlier. Now I’m not talking about slasher films; those just aren’t for me. But give me a good old Vincent Price or…

AAR Goes to the Movies: Star Trek
What’s romantic about Star Trek? The series and films are not exactly famous for long-lived happy coupledom (yes, I am looking at you who killed off Jadzia Dax), and the focus is hardly ever on characters’…
