I snagged tickets to go see Spring Awakening when the national tour rolled through the Kennedy Center. I will first admit that I paid little attention to the show when it was first released back in 2006. I think some of this was because much of what I read during this time was about how […]
All I heard for weeks on end was that The Hangover was the best comedy of the decade. Friends of mine on Facebook were ribbing me for not having seen it on opening weekend and even more stupid for waiting weeks and weeks to check it out. Well, jackoffs, I saw it. And I have […]
I miss rock climbing. Damn, I was good at it, and maybe I still am. Who knows, maybe it’s like riding a bike. I’ve never camped before, not once, but watching movies like Blindsight makes me think it could be really fun. Especially if there was a goal like the summit of Mount Everest at […]
It’s amazing how good going to the movies feels when you realize you have not been in a really long time. Sure, there are tons of movies out right now that I really do want to see, but I’ve just not had the time and so I have been making do with massive Netflix viewings. […]
If nothing else, you should see this movie because rarely do you get to see a female-dominated story that has nothing to do with 27 bridesmaid dresses, Julia Roberts, teen pregnancy or trying to fall in love with the guy who is your best friend and you two just didn’t know that it was love […]
I actually watched this miniseries from the Discovery Channel months ago, but since this is the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, I thought I would toss out this review now. Watching a beautifully edited miniseries about NASA and its quest to reach the moon, it definitely left me in awe of the […]
Growing up, I listened to a lot of west coast rap. NWA, Ice Cube, Ice T and others. I’ll be honest, I thought the lyrics were cool and the beats even better. It was just great music to play football and basketball to in my neighborhood. My friends and I once watched Colors and we […]
Beyond just reviewing the movies I see, I am sometimes compelled to tell this audience that a movie is so important that you darn-near need to drop what you are doing and watch it. Dear Zachary is that kind of movie. And it’s such a good movie that I don’t even want to discuss all […]
It was a movie-filled weekend for me. Luke was in town, needing the escape from Lexington. The weather was pretty crummy this weekend (and for the last month, as well), so after grubbing down a burger and a few beers we went and checked out a movie. Then Sunday night the goddess divine and I […]
Being a fan of Kevin Smith films has never been hard for me. Some people grew up on certain musicians and cultural lightning rods. One of mine was certain Clerks and all the other subsequent films Smith made. Chasing Amy was the perfect (if not refined) date movie and its still great to see Ben […]
