Zombieland, Roger Ebert and Next Top Make and Model

It was brought to my attention last Thursday that my vehicle was in need of an inspection sticker. It had expired that day and I wasn’t planning on going anywhere for the rest of the day so I made plans to get the car inspected the following day.

Lars, played by Ryan Gosling (Half Nelson), is a twenty seven year old man, who lives in his brother’s garage.

Funny People with Adam Sandler Is That Title Meant to Be Ironic?

Adam Sandler seems like a nice enough guy. I remember watching him on Saturday Night Live when I was a kid. I remember that he was one of my favorite SNL cast members.

Tarantino made Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. Ritchie made Lock Stock and Smoking Barrels [...]

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 [...]

Never Get Involved in a Land War in Asia

The feed of this post does not include the video clip of John Cleese on Jimmy Kimmel so if you are interested in seeing that click the headline of the article to go to the post on the site.  It is eleven minutes long, but it is not a waste of time. I have never [...]
