Checking out for two weeks
It’s been kind of a lazy summer for me on the blog. Mostly because the rest of my life has been so busy. But I do promise to pick things back up…after vacation! That’s right, I’m going to Amsterdam and Bruges for two weeks. I’ve got at least one guest post lined up for while [...]
This is not a film review: Inglourious Basterds
I’ll come right out and say it: I’m a fan of Tarantino. Even if you’re not, or simply didn’t enjoy the movie Inglourious Basterds (we can still be friends, right?), I thought I’d recommend a few good books about World War II. War movies and violence in films aren’t usually my thing—yes, I realize I’m [...]
This is not a film review: District 9
I know a lot of people really loved this movie. That said, if I was going to sum up District 9 in 140 characters or less, I’d write: possibly one of the most unsubtle movies I’ve seen in a long time in terms of theme. But I’m not writing this post to critique the movie. [...]
This is not a film review: Terminator Salvation
Just a couple of notes about the movie Terminator Salvation before I get to the books part of this post. First, what was up with that ending? Second, and I know this is picky for an action flick, but was it just me or were there glitches in Cyberdyne Systems’ programming of Marcus Wright’s accent? [...]
This is not a film review: Star Trek
Cokebaby and I went on a double “date” with another couple to catch dinner at Opa in the Park and Star Trek at the movies (don’t fret, a food review will be posted separately). Again, this is definitely not a film review but I have to say that I really enjoyed the acting in this [...]
This is not a film review: Wolverine
All I’m going to say about the movie is that the intro sequence was the coolest one I’ve seen in a while. What I really wanted to do with this post is recommend a number of related books, like I did for Slumdog Millionaire. But, you know what? I really couldn’t come up with any. [...]
This is not a film review: Slumdog Millionaire
Last week Cokebaby and I treated ourselves to dinner and a movie up in Bayer’s Lake. While I mostly go for vegetarian fare when I’m cooking for myself or going out to restaurants there are exceptions. And, truthfully, they mostly come in burger form. This time I tried out Señor Jack’s Jalapeño Burger from Jack [...]
