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…
Editor’s Note – In honor of Dennis Hopper’s passing, I’m reposting this piece – originally published on July 14, 2006. Enjoy – and let me know some of your faves in the Comments below. The late Gene Siskel once applied this logic to determine what makes a good movie. Five good scenes and no bad…
A few days back, I gave you my list of all the movies I saw in 2008 (that had been released between October 2007 and December 2008) and ended with My Top 5 Favorite Movies. That post has become an annual tradition round these parts. I know, real original, right?!?!?!? Well, I’m just stealing a…
With another year off the books, I wanted to start ’09 by taking a look back at some of things that really entertained me in 2008. To that end, I’m planning a three-part series where I will provide you with my choices for My Five Favorite Games of 2008, My Five Favorite Movies of 2008…
(*Editor’s Note – This is a reprint from a piece I posted two years ago today. I’ll have a Halloween post up next week with pics of the kids Trick r’ Treating. Also, that creepy cool pumpkin shot in the header is not from a film. It is courtesy of my main man Sean O’Brien…
In honor of Homer and his clan’s long awaited arrival to the big screen, I decided to offer up a special edition of the ‘My Favorite Things’ series. The format for this edition is going to be a little different than prior installments. Rather than grace y’all with the details of why a particular episode…
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…
While most of My Favorite Things lists have focused on various genres in film, that’s not solely where my interests lie. Nope, not this cosmopolitan gent. I have a wide range of interests spanning the world over. Case in point – today’s list. A real stretch from the norm. Before I dive into my list,…
Last summer when I started my recurring series, ‘My Favorite Things’, I documented a whole series of categories and stored them away for a rainy day. So far we’ve covered my favorite Scary Movies, Individual Scenes, Film Endings, Comic Book Flicks and of course, the five flicks that made this grown man cry. I thought it…
Anyone who knows me, knows I carry a deep, dark secret. No matter how old I get, I can’t shake the gaming jones. I was introduced to video games in the mid-70’s through a neighbor’s Pong machine, used my Machiavellian skills of coercion on neighborhood kids to invite me to sleep over so I could…
