Sleepy Alice Rates the Movies

(Note: This page is under construction, and certainly a work in progress...)

What Is This?

My wife Alice has a bad habbit of falling asleep during movies we see at the theater. Unfortunately, we have paid for many a nap over the years. This has been happening ever since I can remember, and our friends have grown to use this as a gauge for the movie. Most of the time, we'll head out to a restaurant for a meal before seeing the movie, and that tends to help make her sleepy -- still, a good movie can certainly keep her awake (and several have). Now I am pleased to bring this knowledge to the world.

Please note that these opinions are expressly that of Alice, and Alice alone. :-)
