So let’s see here, in 2008 America’s elected its’ first African-American president, both a comic book movie (“The Dark Knight”) and an animated film (“Wall-E”) are being talked about as legitimate Best Picture contenders, gas not only hit an all-time high ($4-plus a gallon) but also dropped as far as it went down, and a […]
“All you people don’t know about lost causes. Mr. Paine does. He said once they were the only causes worth fighting for. And he fought for them once, for the only reason any man ever fights for them; because of just one plain simple rule: ‘Love thy neighbor.’… And you know that you fight for […]
It’s baaack! After an absence last year- what with the first part of the month finding me in the hospital, and the second half not really finding me in a horror movie mood- my October Horror movie marathon, which began in 2003 as sort of a way to try and deplete my Netflix Queue of […]
Snooch to the Nooch! This summer, I hit the movies fast and furious. Of the major movies between May and July, only “Sex and the City” and “Mamma Mia!” were missed in theatres- the latter intentionally, the former because of a truck-totaling car accident.

Hello one and all. I hope that everything has been going well with all of you. Much has been going on in the past month for me on all fronts, all pointing towards better things in the future than have been the case in recent months. I’m still working on getting myself physically healthy after […]
Snooch to the Nooch! 2008 has started off in fits and spurts for me as a moviegoer. The Oscar season came and went with relative ease, but personal issues and a need to get myself on the right track after last year’s health scare has put moviegoing on the slow track. Not as slow as […]
Another week, another blog. That it’s another blog about this short film is curious enough.
