This is a list of posts published in August 2006.
I am not a fan of award shows - but I did catch Conan O’Brien’s taped Emmy segment that introduced the show last night. It’s well produced and very funny - touching on my favorite shows Lost, The Office, and 24. Also - the riff on ‘To Catch a Predator IV’ or whatever that Dateline [...]

In some issues, Pole is well represented. In others, Gutt is joined by a rogue’s gallery of other associates for solo stories. Kinda’ like the time the [...]

I’ve been in a family mood lately.
Of course, I am grand patriarch to a modest brood (my son Colin, daughter Aria and two dogs of whom a paternity test has proven I am not the biological father but love all the same). Unless you’re some deadbeat who collects ‘72 Novas in his front yard and [...]

On Monday, I posted a detailed dispatch from my Dad’s recent wedding. What you missed in US Weekly (damn paparazzi!!!), you can read about here.

This past weekend I had the great pleasure of attending - and participating - in my Dad’s wedding to a fantastic woman, Missy. The wedding saw two large, extended families, come together on a lush green West Bridgewater lawn, under a brilliant blue sky dotted with cotton candy clouds, to witness two special people come together [...]

This will be Blomkamp’s first big screen production, but he has cut his teeth on numerous commercials, music videos and shorts including these two: Yellow and Alive in Joburg. I watched them both [...]
Continue reading »For this edition, I decided to focus on my favorite closing segments to a handful of flicks. Three of the films on my list, I love in their entirety. As for the other two, one is well done but a bit overrated and the other is a major disappointment redeemed by a ballsy ending. Tread [...]

It’s a big day here at The EdZone. With this post, I’ve officially hit the century mark, with 100 full-blown posts having been published since we launched in late January 2006. And given the breadth of some of these commentaries, I can safely hazard a guess that the eight months of writing collected here equals [...]
