My Favorite Things - ‘Top 5 Summer Movie Memories’

With summer movie season officially kicked off… wait, who am I kidding. With Spider-Man 3, Shrek the Third and Pirates of the Carribean: At World’s End all released prior to Memorial Day, we may already be onto the Autumn Oscar season by the time I finish scribing this list.
Oh well, once upon a time the [...]

My Favorite Things - ‘Top 5 Movies That Made This Grown Man Weep’

Ed’s Note - This piece was originally posted in July 2006. When I caught a Comment on my Cousin Jason’s Biggerboat site stating my Aunt Sharon’s intention to reveal a list of film’s that made my Uncle Ron (a grown man if there ever was one) cry, I decided to repost this here to provide her with a forum [...]

Pug Ugly

I ran across this article over at The Onion and thought I’d pass it along as an important safety notice. Hey, this Blog can’t be all Celebrity Miis, all the time. Sometimes I have to serve the public trust.
Anyway, true to form, the master humorists at The Onion have written a pitch-perfect satire of this [...]

Lost - ‘Through the Looking Glass’ - 3.22 & 3.23

 
“You are not meant to do this, Jack.”
The suspense is killing me… and I love it.
When I got to the end of Wednesday night’s stellar third season finale of Lost, I felt a great sadness. Most of that was colored by the events (and twist) that had just transpired – more on that below. But [...]

Lost - ‘Greatest Hits’ - 3.21

 
Tonight is the grand finale of a pretty stellar season of Lost. On the whole, I think Lost – in its third year – had a nice rebound from some of the missteps this series took during Season II and some would argue, at the beginning of Season III (in that truncated first act). That [...]

Lost - ‘The Man Behind the Curtain’ - 3.20

 
I’m going to spare you the suspense. This is my first 5 Mooninite rated episode of Lost. If I had been reviewing this show back when it premiered, the only other episodes that would have garnered a rating of Perfection would be the pilot episode and the Locke-centric ‘Walkabout’ - which featured that shocking reveal [...]

Lost - ‘The Brig’ - 3.19

 
Once again, I’m running behind. In a bid to catch up (only two more episodes left this season), I’m going to drop two postings today - one on ‘The Brig’ which aired two weeks ago and the second will focus on last Wednesday’s excellent ‘The Man Behind the Curtain’.
This is not to imply that ‘The [...]

Tangled Web

 
What hath Star Wars wrought?
Ever since King George closed out his original series of space opera flicks with that great campfire ditty, Yub Yub, Hollywood has been enamored with the power of three. These days, every franchise gets tagged with a three-picture deal. And while a trilogy makes sense when the entire story arc is [...]

Failure to Launch

 
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Thus, the struggling New York Yankees saw fit to shoehorn an impromptu press release into their Sunday afternoon drubbing of the Seattle Mariners  - announcing the signing of Roger Clemens to the squad.
Yesterday afternoon, the Rocket declared he’d be there to save the day by month-end – a full month [...]
