Reconnecting with old favorites

This week I've been able to enjoy some of my favorite old movies, and introduce the kids to flicks they've seen spoofed and referenced in pop media.

So, in no particular order (and as a way to cheat on posting because I am lazy), here's some blast-from-the-past cinema choices:

• LadyHawke^ (1985) Rutger Hauer, Matthew Broderick, Michelle Pfeiffer


• Real Genius^ (1985) Val Kilmer


• Ghost Busters^ (1984) Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver


• The Blues Brothers^ (1980) Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Carrie Fischer


• Twelve Monkeys^ (1995) Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt


• Big Trouble in Little China^ (1986) Kurt Russell, Kim Cattrall


• Arsenic and Old Lace^ (1944) Cary Grant, Peter Lorre


• Grosse Pointe Blank^ (1997) John Cusak, Dan Aykroyd

Back to it ...

Well, if you're reading this, you too survived the holidays. I think we need an official non-holiday day to recover from the end-of-year madness.

If not for the colds and flu going around, it would be a good time to gather family close and snuggle in with something quiet and restful. But everyone's sick, it seems, so instead we have to grab what little bits of peace and happiness we can.

To you and yours and happy, healthy 2009!
