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…
From 2003 through 2008, I saw maybe 5 movies… and one of those was Starsky & Hutch. Dark days, my friends. But that’s what I get for doing my part to insure the survival of the human race. Of course, with every year that passes following the birth of children – you realize that some…
A few years ago, I wrote a fairly scathing indictment of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series. This was coming from a jilted lover – as I sought a break from a series that burrowed its way into my heart when I was a mid-teen – that time when your lifelong passions really start to…
The other day I offered up the first group of movies that I would love to see on the big screen in 2011. That doesn’t mean I will. In fact, I can assure you that most will flicker away once they’ve arrived via Netflix – but when I do make it to the theater in…
This has become an annual tradition ’round these parts. Each year, after I complete the previous year’s housekeeping through offering up by ‘Best Of’ lists – I like to give you all a sneak peek at what I’m looking forward to on the entertainment horizon. With Netflix, I’ll watch most anything – which partially explains…
Hands down, the coolest gifts the kids got for Christmas were these amazing framed, retro chic movie posters, designed and illustrated by our friend Sean Hartter. ARIA ~ Princess of Unicorn Castle COLIN – Lazer Knight of the Star Zone Here’s how I came to know Sean. Andi has one of those amazing friends who…
Editor’s Note: If anyone wants e-mail alerts when a new post is published (or to get a little synopsis of what it’s all about, shoot me an e-mail at theedzone@gmail.com and I’ll add you to the distribution list. Harry Potter is bigger than Jar Jar. What? You thought I was gonna’ go Jesus? Puh-leaze –…
Last week, I gave up the goods – letting y’all know just which flicks I chose to watch in 2010 and which of those made my Top 7 Favorites of the Year list. I know seven is a bit arbitrary and I probably owe you three more, but I was starting with five originally and…
If you’re reading this, you’ve likely read my rambling preamble that I published the other day. If not, go back and read it. It’s one post below this one or better yet, you could just click here and add to my hit counts. I got kids to feed after all. Anyway, this post accomplished two…
