It’s been a crazy week at work, so we didn’t make much progress on the AFI movie challenge this week. Early in the week when my eyes felt like they would burst into flames and my hands were blazing with early onset arthritis, we did take a break to knock one movie off the list. […]
While we’re a week away from the Super Bowl, we’re deep in the heart of Premier League soccer, which brings me immense joy. Tottenham is hanging in there for a solid Champions League spot, while down in Spain the heated rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona are staging some epic moments in flopping, flailing and making […]
My recent column reviewing Star Wars: The Old Republic and Trine 2. Thanks to Newsday and North Jersey for publishing. […]
Last week the wife came home and made a bold declaration. “There’s tons of movies … really good ones … that I need to see.” See, she’ll watch hours of Real Housewives and tons of useless crap on Bravo and E! but when I’ve mentioned watching movies of actual value, I get the eye rolls […]

Time for a couple trailers for movies I am looking forward to seeing. Moonrise Kingdom is the real gem of this bunch. It’s the return of one of my favorite directors, Wes Anderson, he of Rushmore, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Royal Tenenbaums and Life Aquatic fame. My joy runneth over watching this trailer. The Dark Knight […]
