A Night at the Movies
Has anyone noticed lately how a night at the movies has gotten way more expensive than it should be? Look, I’m not one to knock Hollywood and movie theaters for doing their business, but isn’t $8 a ticket, like I paid Tuesday for Quantum of Solace, a bit much to pay considering the quality of [...]
A Thanksgiving Tradition
When i was much younger, my dad was a James Bond fanatic. I’d say that he still is, enjoying the weeks of the year when a station decides its time for a Bond-themed marathon chocked full of action-packed suspense and the daring sexuality of our 60s-era hero born from the stories of Ian Fleming’s imagination. [...]
Quantum of Solace could have done better with the title…
I’ll definitely agree with director Marc Forster in his assertion that they could have come up with a better title for the new movie. But from what they’re describing in this Guardian Interview with Forster before the new film opens on Halloween, I can say this might be one of the best Bond movies ever, [...]
A new Ghostbusters?
And written by the guys who write The Office? Whaaaaaat?
Comedy show movies
There have been in the past few years a lot of movies made out of comedy shows. I believe the trend started with the infamous Blue Collar Comedy Tour movie, which we used to watch over and over again until finally one day we could nearly quote the movie line for line. “Gitterdun” was a [...]
The Dark Knight
Last night, after a decent day at work and a meal of peanut butter sandwiches while I watched the Obama coverage on CNN, my work friend Karissa called me up and asked if I wanted to go to the movies. “I really want to go see The Dark Knight again,” she’d told me. And so [...]
Movie Review: There Will Be Blood
Back in April when my friend Ashley came to town, I spent a few extra bucks on my cable bill the night we got back from Birmingham when I picked her up to watch There Will Be Blood. I started watching it and made it about 30 minutes into the movie before falling asleep. Later [...]
Bond boy suffers hand injury, show goes on
Daniel Craig received a minor injury to his hand during filming of the new Bond movie “Quantum of Solace.” Craig was fine and was back on the set working again a few hours later after seeking medical attention according to CNN. However, I want to look at the moniker of this new Bond movie. “Quantum [...]
There Will Be Blood
I first started watching Daniel Day Lewis’s second academy award winning film for best actor while Ashley was here a few weeks ago when we got back from Birmingham on Saturday night. I was exhausted (for obvious reasons, seeing as how much I drove and worked that day…) and fell asleep in the comfortable chairs [...]
My Daily Life: October 18, 2007
So yesterday was a day off for me, which means that I didn’t do anything. Didn’t touch the blog, didn’t go to work. Heck, I don’t think I did much of anything other than watch TV and eat yesterday. I enjoyed my vegetative state on my air bed yesterday, but now it’s back to work [...]
