I love movies. It’s been that way since I was 9 years old. That was the Summer of 1981, when the Internet was barely a blip in Al Gore’s neural processors and my next door neighbor – an older kid named Jay – wandered over and asked my Mom if I could go to the…
When I was 11 years old, I would find my Dad’s dog-eared copy of Cujo wherever he left it lying around the house and steal a few moments feverishly reading through Stephen King’s lean-and-mean tale of a monstrous dog run amok. I had to read it in snippets for fear my Mom or Dad caught me…
Woah – sure is dusty in here. I’m back, baby. For you lapsed Constant Readers, I owe you a little apology. I used to tend these pages on a much more frequent basis than I have of late. There’s a whole myriad of boring reasons for my long departure but if I were to pick…
A friend of mine recently challenged me to list “12 movies” that have stayed with me ever since I’ve seen them. In “outing” my list, I realize that some of these flicks may not make most critics Year-End best lists but that’s not their fault – it’s mine. That’s why I always issue the disclaimer when…
Forgot to write a Blog Post last week so let’s not let that happen again. Today’s post doesn’t have a particular theme aside from these are all things that can be seen on TV (or you know streamed on your mobile device or toaster). 1. Â Chris Carter is the Scariest Thing That Has Ever…
I have one hard-and-fast rule when cobbling together my year-ending lists. I don’t try to get all critical and tell you what I think were the BEST movies of the year – just my favorite. And we all know opinions. Everyone’s got one. The only right one is your own – at least where you’re…
It’s that time again. The time of the year when I shake my Magic Eight Ball (and NO – I’m not talking about my shaved head, smart guy!!!) – and look over the months ahead to come to choose the five movies I ABSOLUTELY have to see on the big screen in 2013. The funny…
Why the asterisk? Every year I do this and every year I have a hard time picking just five. It’s the same way I feel about all my illegitimate kids. So hard to pick a favorite when you’ve got one in every port. 😉 I kid… I kid… well, about the baker’s dozen KIDS thing….
Editor’s Note:  I turn 40 on June 6, 2012. As a little challenge to myself, I’m spending one calendar year writing 40 posts that say something about my life. Today, it’s all about one of my life’s true loves – the movies. This post was originally published a few years ago but I’ve gone back…
This year couldn’t have come any sooner. In reviewing my current Netflix queue, I discovered that I am getting shockingly close to the bottom of the barrel. After all, this is a repository that used to number in the hundreds and now I’m down to about 20 flicks – some of which I keep shuffling…
