Many years ago - I’d say it was more than 12 - when I lived on a different continent, I used to go to the library… you know, that big building where you can look around for hours and find something interesting, and then hand it to a librarian… you know, usually kind of an […]

This is the big day I’ve been waiting for: the release of The Planet of the Apes Ultimate DVD Collection. 14 discs of damn dirty apes.
Well, first let me give you the link to this week’s RoundUp at the HTF. As I explained two weeks ago (I was too lazy last week), you can find […]

The following list I made two months ago. I think #10 I would replace with Paradise Now or Bin-jip (3-Iron). Also, a note about the Wal-Mart movie being in my bottom list: While I share many of the same opinions of the filmmakers, I thought the film had a terrible approach and was hoping […]

I made this list a while back and thought I might as well post it here so you know what my tastes are. It’s a mixture of greats and favorites. I was able to make this list thanks to MovieMeter.nl, where I have kept track of and graded every single film I have seen over […]

This afternoon I had a funny little experience after I walked my dog.  I was taking the mail out of the mailbox in front of my house.  My dog stood in the sidewalk.  Suddenly, a crazy kid came rushing down the sidewalk on his bike and tried to run over my dog.  Seriously.  He was […]

Here’s some random stuff. Random.
-9 trillion dollars is a lot of money.
-I will be first in line to see Snakes on a Plane.
-Three dead at Denny’s. My first thought when clicking on the headline was ‘what was in the food?’ (I hate putting links in blogs without any relevant comments - that’s what the […]

Peter Tomarken, 63, the host of the early 80s game show Press Your Luck, and his wife died in a plane crash today: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060314/ap_en_tv/small_plane_crash

Just this morning, MSN had this to say about Tomarken and Press Your Luck in an article about the all-time greatest game shows: “It may have featured the flattest host of any […]

Mr. Magoo lives, and I couldn’t be happier because he’s such a memorable character. I can’t wait to see next week’s episode. That new show Big Love sure isn’t bad, either.

On Friday I called the cable company to subscribe to HBO again. I always do when The Sopranos start, and then cancel shortly after they’re over. I can’t wait until a few hours from now when Season 6 starts. It’s been about two years since the last season. Moreover, this is the last season. […]

Each week on Sunday, Mike Frezon at the Home Theater Forum posts a Weekly RoundUp of all the new DVD releases that will be coming out the next Tuesday. I can’t tell you what an amazing resource this is. Over the past years, Mike (and before him, David of TVShowsonDVD.com) have saved me countless hours […]

Well, maybe it’s not a preview if you live in the UK, where each Up entry premieres on public television, but here in the US, the Up documentaries are released theatrically. I’m an enormous fan of the Uppers, as they’re called, so I couldn’t wait and asked someone in the UK to tape it for […]

At this year’s Academy Awards, films tackling very important issues facing our world today got the spotlight: racial tension, homosexuality, corporate scandals, sexual harassment, third world hunger, you name it. Yet, one of the most serious problems facing our country - somewhat of a social taboo - got no attention. You can only talk about […]

Last night I went to an Oscar party. I dressed up as a Brokeback cowboy - sort of like Heath Ledger, but with longer hair. I forgot to mumble throughout the evening… dammit. I hope no pictures will surface.
I enjoyed the telecast. Even when I disagree with who wins, which is traditionally the case […]

Face it: Chevy Chase is a legend - one of the most quotable icons of the last thirty years who sadly gets way too much shit for some crappy movies, his outright personality, his talkshow and whatnot. But this is the same guy who gave us Caddyshack, the Vacation films, Three Amigos, Fletch, Spies Like […]

Hello, this is my first post. Thank you for coming.
