This Is the End

  I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: If I could be friends with any celebrity, I’d be friends with Seth Rogen. He seems so down-to-earth and laid back. I think it would be really easy to get along with him. We’d have some good laughs and some fun conversations. Our banter would […]

Fast & Furious 6

Fast & Furious 6

  Fast & Furious 6 caught me off guard. For starters I had no intention of seeing it when I did. My buddy John and I had gone to the theater to see an advance screening of After Earth. Unfortunately we got there too late, and all the first-come-first-served seats had been completely served. So […]

What I’m Watching at Home: Bellflower

**This review ended up turning more into a discussion than a review. I don’t give anything significant away, but it’s more than I would want to know about it if I hadn’t seen it.

Whether that’s true or not, it’s understandable that an audience from 1960, who hadn’t […]

G.I. Joe: Retaliation

  The G.I. Joes are in Pakistan. Their mission is to acquire nuclear warheads. After some blams, a few booms, and a smattering of rat-a-tats, it’s mission accomplished. But not so fast. While the Joes are camped out in the desert awaiting their ride home, kaboom! Sneak attack! All but three Joes are killed. Which […]

What I’m Watching At Home: Inception

Viewed on March 2, 2013 on TNT I forgot just how brilliant this movie is. This was my fourth viewing of Inception, and I swear it just keeps getting better. Christopher Nolan is so damned good at crafting a damned interesting story. Damn. I’m just amazed at how he was able to come up with […]
