Novocaine

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).

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 …
