Hunt over

by @ Sunday, February 25th, 2007. Filed under General

My apartment hunt is finally over. After scouring Craigslist for many weeks and visiting countless (read: 6 or 7) apartments I finally found a place in the East Village (read: it’s on the border of the East Village and the Lower East Side but it’s technically the Lower East Side). I’m moving on March 1st […]

Oscar predictions

by @ Saturday, February 24th, 2007. Filed under Movies

Sunday is my favorite day of the year. That sounds really gay, but for me it’s true. Birthdays just aren’t that special anymore after you’ve had about twelve of them, and Christmas is a boring day after you’re done opening gifts. Unless you get a really cool gift that you can play with all day, […]

Fons Rademakers, 1920-2007

by @ Friday, February 23rd, 2007. Filed under Movies

Director Fons Rademakers passed away yesterday at age 86. During his career, he directed eleven films. Oh, I should say, I’m an admirer, so this is a little tribute to the great director. His first film, 1958’s Village by the River was nominated for a Best Foreign Film Academy Award. Nearly thirty years later, Rademakers […]

What I’m watching on television

by @ Sunday, February 18th, 2007. Filed under TV

I don’t watch too much television, although I do spend quite some time sitting in front of the set watching DVDs. But here are some of the current programs that I do watch:
-Jericho. This isn’t a great show but I’m a sucker for apocalyptic movies and TV shows. The acting is incredibly bad, making it […]

I’m jealous of Bill Clinton…

…because he has already read the new Chevy Chase biography I’m Chevy Chase…and You’re Not by Rena Fruchter. This is the first authorized (well, first in general that I know of) biography of actor/writer/comic Chevy Chase. In the book, the almighty will discuss his upbringing, his career and his personal life. Friends and former colleagues […]

I changed my mind

I saw an amazing film the other day called Half Nelson. It was so amazing that I decided to update my 2006 Top 10 list. I urge everyone to see it. It came out on DVD on the 13th and it is up for an Academy Award for Best Actor Ryan Gosling. While I didn’t […]

Hunting without a gun

…or a bow-and-arrow, trap, dagger, or sling-shot. I moved to the East Coast in September and since then have been staying in Jersey City. While Jersey City is convenient and nice, I really came out here with the intent of living in Manhattan where I work. I have to leave my Jersey City place pretty […]

Top 10 list, 2006

by @ Friday, February 9th, 2007. Filed under Movies

I’ve written top 10 lists each year since 1999. Unfortunately, I lost all of them with the exception of 1999 and 2005. This really bummed me out, but oh well… Who knows, I might still have them on an old computer somewhere, though I doubt it.
This is my list of the best films of 2006. […]
