50 Extremely Useful And Powerful CSS Tools Normally, I don't click on links that are "50 of this" or "100 of that" as they are often worse than useless. But I'm working on a few different sites, so there may be some useful CSS stuff in here. -- M E-L | (0)
We took the boys to see this animated fairytale, like a missing story from the 1001 Nights. Absolutely beautiful, a wonderful story, and Ben and Zach loved it. Four stars. -- M E-L | (0)
The feel-good Charlie's-Angels-spoof indie lesbian-Romeo-and-Juliet film of 2004! 3 stars. Hat tip to Anvil & Sprocket's review which convinced me to Netflix this. -- M E-L | (0)
"Well, that was the gayest Hitchcock I've ever seen." 3.5 stars. Half a star for the line "He was a Harvard undergraduate. That might make it justifiable homicide." -- M E-L | (0)
This week's Family Movie Night selection was mine, and while Lucas shamelessly rips off every fantasy / sword'n'sorcery movie ever (and a few of his own), it still holds up after 20 years.
