I don’t know how people go to school full-time, and work full-time, without going insane. It’s been a crazy three months just doing one online class and working full-time. And then there’s that pesky task of having a life in between. I’m baffled. To recap: in my last blog about my musical endeavors, I mentioned […]
Since I last wrote in this section back in June of last year, a LOT has happened. Not necessarily from a musical standpoint, but in life. The most significant change in my life over the past nine months was the passing of my father, Mark, after a year and a half of heart trouble. That […]
Last year was the first year I didn’t do a recap of the Oscars after the ceremony, and you know what? It was glorious. Part of it was the fact that very little that happened was unexpected (seriously, I correctly predicted 20 of 24 categories this year), while part of it was, “What’s the point, […]
Snooch to the Nooch! Well, with the Oscars finally happening on Sunday, it’s now time for my final look at the nominees, and a look at my final predictions (all nominations listed in order of preference), and whether they’ve changed in the past month. This year has been a frustrating one, moviewatching-wise, as I haven’t […]
Well, the nominations are set. The question is which ones will pan out into Oscars. The Oscar telecast is on March 2, with Ellen DeGeneres (“Finding Nemo”) hosting. Best Picture Oscar’s Final Nine “American Hustle” “Captain Phillips” “Dallas Buyers Club” “Gravity” “Her” “Nebraska” “Philomena” “12 Years a Slave” “The Wolf of Wall Street” (Haven’t Seen) […]
It’s that time of year again. Unfortunately, I’m still missing a lot of movies on my “have watched” that could have an effect on these, but it will be updated as we go along. Keep in mind– this is me basically filling out my own, personal Oscar ballot in all the “major” categories. Other people […]
“The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.” “The Wolf of Wall Street.” “Saving Mr. Banks.” “The Act of Killing.” “Nebraska.” “”Inside Llewyn Davis.” “Dallas Buyers Club.” “Frozen.” “Carrie.” “The Fifth Estate.” “The Counselor.” “Her.” “August: Osage County.” “Philomena.” “The Great Gatsby.” “The Art of Killing.” “Blue is the Warmest Color.” These are just a handful of […]
With Spike Lee’s great biopic, I finish up my fifth year of “A Movie a Week” reviews, and it’s been quite a year. I’ve been behind most of the year, as life has been busy for me. Very busy. On the one hand, I started a great relationship with a wonderful woman at the start […]
This is the 10th time I’ve focused my October movie watching on horror movies. That’s kind of surreal to consider, actually. However, even more surreal was something that happened around the middle of the month that has thrown off my routine in a big way. The long and short of it is this: my father, […]
This was my fifth year going to Atlanta’s annual geek convention, and based on the comments seen online during the course of the convention, it seems as though many people are at a crossroads when it comes to D*Con. This year, I was as well, but for different reasons that didn’t really have anything to […]
