Dickness is Down with the Wackness

The Wackness takes place in the summer of 1994 in New York City. Maybe it is because I was a similar age to the main character of the film in 1994, but I was pretty much down for whatever this movie had to offer. Initially it seemed strange to think of a period movie set [...]

Celtics, Lakers: Something in the Air Tonight

After many hours traveling to Boston with my brother to see the Celtics I was finally seated and ready to watch the game.
