Cannes. Just the name of this Parisian coastal city oozes glamour and luxury. Celebrities flock there for the Cannes Film Festival, but there is so much more to see in this seaside city than films. Cannes is a resort town on the French Riviera and is home to the world-famous Cannes Film Festival. Curving along the coast, the Boulevard de la Croisette, is lined with sandy beaches, upscale boutiques, and opulent hotels.

August 9, 2017 No Comments

The two films I remember seeing her in before her Pretty Woman fame was Satisfaction (1988) and Mystic Pizza (1988).

Well, this girl from the little town of Symrna, Georgia, has done some pretty amazing things […]

What is your dream job? What job would you like to try, if only for one day? Do you love your job, but wish you could do something else as well? Let me start today’s post by saying that I really enjoy my job as a Registered Medical Assistant. I enjoy those I work with, and I enjoy the job in general. I’ve been a Medical Assistant since 2002.

“School of Life” is a Good Lesson on Life

September 8, 2016 No Comments

I stumbled upon a movie on TV the other night starring the handsome, and now married, Ryan Reynolds. I’ve been smitten with Reynolds since Two Guys, A Girl and A Pizza Place. The movie I’m writing about was a made-for-TV movie titled School of Life (2005) and starred Reynolds as Michael D’Angelo.
