A friend of mine saw this movie with me, and his reaction was perfect, I thought. “Did Steve Martin owe someone a favor?†That is the utmost truth, because otherwise I don’t see why he would choose to be in the utter crap that is Novocaine. From start to finish, the story is more like …
Reign of Fire
Yes, shamefully, I saw Reign of Fire. I start off saying that because a lot of people have reacted that way when I told them I saw it. But don’t worry, I don’t plan on seeing Eight Legged Freaks any time soon, so I think I saw the better of two evils. Although Reign of …
The Shipping News
Another Kevin Spacey movie to add to my movie reviews, however, this one turned out a touch better then the last, as you can see from the rating I gave it alone (the last Kevin Spacey movie I watched was K-Pax). With a star-studded cast, an intriguing plot, and a beautiful setting, The Shipping News …
Sling Blade
Sling Blade is one of those movies that when I say I haven’t seen it, everyone goes “You haven’t!?†So, now I no longer have to press my nose against the glass of the “Seen-Sling-Blade†club, I can now walk freely amongst the club members and toss around witty banter. Now that I’ve seen it, …
K-Pax
The other night, I unfortunately rented and watched the movie K-Pax that asks the question: Is there intelligent life out there? The answer: no. This movie would have been just as good if I had been watching Kevin Spacey milling around his house, doing laundry or making tea, because that’s really the only worth that …
Transferring some stuff over
Just so you know, I’m starting to transfer some of my old stuff over and will continue to this weekend, so sorry if I overload your RSS reader.
The Bourne Identity
A couple nights ago I saw The Bourne Identity, starring Matt Damon and “That Girl from Run Lola Run†as everyone refers to her, based on the novel by Robert Ludlum. I have not read the book, but I plan to now, so some of my critique may be somewhat objective because I didn’t come …
Last Minnesota Pics
Here’s the last few good photos from my Minneapolis trip. Here’s the skyline on my way out. I didn’t see the sun the last three days I was in Minnesota, but I like gray-day skylines (ooo, that’s a good band name). The Minnesota river. I can’t picture a better shot that gives the coloration of …
First NHL Post
Well, here we are. The NHL season starts next week, and I gotta say, I’m actually pretty excited. It’s like a whole new game, which is what makes Red Wings fans mad, because they can’t buy another cup this year. And I’ve heard some people complain about the shootout being added. Uh, why? One of …
