Gerald McBoing-Boing
(1950)

35 years later, I still remember it well.
My dad had this movie as an 8mm reel. I loved it when he would pull out the projector, tape a sheet to the wall, and play Gerald McBoing Boing. The thought of a child who communicated through sounds fascinated me.

Nine years ago, my son was diagnosised as autistic. The doctors would ask me questions about my son such as "How does he communicate with you?" I would respond, "Have you ever seen the cartoon, Gerald McBoing Boing?" I would love to have a copy of this cartoon to show my son and his educators, this is how my son see he's world.

Recently, I spoke with a digital transfer specialist who indicated most personal 8mm films did not contain sound until the mid 1970's. I guess I was pretty lucky to have experienced the sights and sounds of Gerald McBoing Boing in 1972.

Pirates of the Great Salt Lake
(2006)

Great independent movie, a must see for film buffs.
This film recently won Festival Choice at the 2006 Phoenix Film Festival. I was partially skeptical when I entered the theater, preparing to find the film demeaning to those who love pirates. I was pleasantly surprised to be drawn into the movie and found myself caring for the success of the characters.

E.R. Nelson should be commended for tackling a "water movie" as his first feature film and being successful with the story line. Those of you familiar with the Great Salt Lake may find some of the scenes especially funny, including the natural aspects of the environment.

If you ask why I gave this movie and 9 out of 10, the reason is at the end and I don't want to give away the ending. I just wish there could have been a little bit more.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
(2003)

You gotta love Depp's interpretation of Sparrow
All right you insecure excuse for men. Yes, Depp's character was unconventional, but Depp added real depth to it. Obviously those of you questioning your own sexuality had a problem the sayshaying of a swashbuckling pirate. Depp's character of Sparrow was magnificent. The character's layers were wonderfully teased at and by the end of the movie, I was wishing I was the love of Captain Jack Sparrow instead of the Black Pearl, much to the dismay of my husband. It is a wonderful movie. I have seen it three times already and plan on seeing again. I just love men in boots carrying swords. They make me swoon.
