Have to take a moment and give a big shout-out to my brother, Michael. His friends call his Soup (because, you know, our last name is Campbell), some people call him Mike, but he’s always going to be Michael to me. I like the full names. 2009 has been a big year so far for […]
It’s rare to find me not liking a Tarantino film. I just like his style, and the hyper-violence and witty reparté he writes into his movies is timely yet possesses so many winks and nods to other movies and directors that it’s hard to keep up sometimes but enjoyable nonetheless. For Inglorious Basterds, what really […]
Last week’s column, this time brought to you by ScrippsNews.com, reviews Wolfenstein and Madden 10. […]
So this piece of shit insect is my new enemy. I loathe its existence. It’s the Asian Tiger mosquito, and it’s infested the greater DC area this year. These little bastards know no fear. And they swarm. You’re not getting bit by one, but by 6 or 7 of them at once. It’s unreal. Friends […]
If you have not seen it, the mockumentary “Drop Dead Gorgeous” is awfully funny. It’s about a beauty pageant in Minnesota. There are a ton of people in it, like Allison Janney, Kirsten Dunst, Ellen Barkin and pre-gigantor Kristie Alley. Among the other comedic actors is Will Sasso. He’s got a great role as the […]

A guilty pleasure movie that I have is Harlem Nights. It’s an awful movie. Well, maybe not entirely awful. It has a roll call of some of the top black comedians. Red Foxx, Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Della Reese, Arsenio Hall, Charlie Murphy and many others. After about the first 40 minutes, the movie falls […]
I sucked as a skateboarder. I’m also bummed I never had the guts to pick it back up. So now I live vicariously through Kelly, Flynn and the other grinders I meet through them. I posted this story to them last week, but I think it’s worth sharing with the rest of the world around […]
Here is my column from last week, courtesy of Vero Beach. The games reviewed: Wii Sports Resort and GI Joe: Rise of Cobra. […]
One of the best gifts my mother ever gave me was a couple of years ago when she got me a subscription to Fast Company. As a mover and shaker at GE, she thought the maagzine’s blend of forward-thinking, business-minded, green innovation content was right up my alley. Boy was she ever right. These days […]
