Movie News: Mann, Depp, Bale. I love four letter words.

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Variety reports that Michael Mann, director of Heat, Last of the Mohicans, and um, Miami Vice (I hear the Director Cut is better) is set to direct a depression-era crime drama, “Public Enemies.”  Enemies will star Johnny Depp as the […]

Ugh, Meet the Spartans wins.

Not saying that Rambo is stiff competition but I just can’t stand spoofs.  It irritates me that these mindless pseudo-satiric comedy’s gain so much steam.  It is safe to assume that the people seeing movies like “Meet The Spartans,” are not reading this site, if you are, no offense, I just wish you would spend […]

Food: Easy Gourmet

Tonight was a great night at the dinner table.  Some nice wine, great conversation, and the food was exquisite.  My wife took her first bite and proclaimed, “this is like something you could order in a swanky restaurant.”  I agreed.  This recipe takes a little longer than normal, about an hour.  But it was Saturday […]

Movie News: Well sort of.

Lego is looking to up-seat Hasbro as the leader in toy sales 2008.  Hasbro stocked, and re-stocked the shelves last year, with much help from the summer blockbuster “Transformers.”  This year, as reported by Marc Graser at Variety, it looks as if Hasbro will dominant the Hollywood toy tie-in race.  Hasbro is producing this summers ”Speed Racer” film […]

Movie: Off to the Movies

I’m preparing to do my first review.  There are a number of great films I could review from past college papers or movies I’ve seen numerous times, but I feel that you should get a new release as my first review.  The movie I’ve chosen is…drum-roll please…
THERE WILL BE BLOOD.
P.T.A.s new one, and needless to […]

Food: Creative leftovers in the midst of a long week

Dread filled me as I slowly walked to the fridge.  This week has been one long arduous task after another.  I’m building this page, my daughter isn’t feeling well, it has snowed multiple times (my wife won’t let me buy a snow-blower) and the thought of constructing a well balanced, great tasting meal was daunting at […]

Movie News: The new 007 title is…

ACCORDING TO THE BBC it’s “Quantum of Solace.”  Never being a giant fan of the old series(s) I’m not versed in the Ian Fleming books.  It’s possible that the title is based on a short story by Fleming from the ’60’s.
“Solace” is to start directly where Royale left off  co-producer Michael Wilson tells the BBC.
Casino Royale was a […]

Moving along,

Developing a page is much more work than we anticipated.  Fun work.  Now that we have figured out how to put up a theme we will be modifying it immensely.  We are moving along nicely and plan on talking about our first movie by Friday the 25th.  Talk to you soon.
