Suggestion Box

Dear perusers, Though I am having a swell time spilling my thoughts to you about most of the stuff I fill my time with, I have decided to add a new post topic to my usual. The “Suggestion Box” is my way of letting you know about the things I am excited for coming out […]

Now Playing Review – Julie & Julia

Unfortunately for Amy Adams, the title, Julie & Julia, is a slight exaggeration on the importance of her character to the film. It would be a better representation if it was something along the lines of: Julia Child and Why She Deserves to Have Some Random Woman Dedicate A Year of Her Life to Her. […]

Rental Review – Fast & Furious

The Fast and the Furious franchise has had a rough ride since its start in 2001. Following the popularity of the first film, much of the cast and excitement was lost in the sequel, and the third would have been better if it had never been made. Hoping to recreate what was made eight years […]

Review: Julie & Julia

Nora Ephron’s adaptation of two books connected to the life and teachings of the chef Julia Child is an often hilarious yet a bit overly long tale that overall is quite the success in the end and carries one of the finest performances of the year. Julie Powell is a wannabe writer. Having written half […]

TV Review – Dollhouse (S1, E6)

Man on the Street IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REMAIN UNSPOILED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS DURING EACH EPISODE, READ MY OVERALL REVIEW OF THE SHOW, WHICH WILL BE POSTED SOON Does this count as pedophilia? Because I feel really icky right about now. With that said, at this point in the season this episode replaces Gray […]

The Decade’s Best – The Aviator (2004)

Martin Scorsese’s – The Aviator (2004) Martin Scorsese’s biopic of the entrepreneur and aviator Howard Hughes is a marvelous, entertaining, and interesting look into the life of one of the most unique, oddest, and accomplished individuals ever to capture and live in the public eye; all grounded by an extraordinary performance by Leonardo DiCaprio. Howard […]

Review: In The Loop

This political satire of the American and British government’s reaction to an impending war in Iraq is quite funny at times but ultimately feels like Christopher Guest lite. Following a set of individuals in and around the governments of both the American and British states, with individuals both for and against the war, we get […]

Review: $9.99

This latest stop motion animated drama is an odd, lonely, and somewhat interesting tale that doesn’t do anything special and leaves you a bit bewildered with everything. The film focuses on a set of individuals living in an apartment building as they all deal with issues in their lives while also coming rather loosely connected […]

TV Review – Dollhouse (S1, E4)

Gray Hour IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REMAIN UNSPOILED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS DURING EACH EPISODE, READ MY OVERALL REVIEW OF THE SHOW, WHICH WILL BE POSTED SOON Before I get into the main storyline of the episode, can I just ask: who would pay the Dollhouse the ridiculous sum they charge for a midwife? Up […]
