• FUEL

  Posted on Wednesday September 16th, 2009 at 13:38 in movies, environment, erie

  Last night, Al and I attended the viewing of FUEL at the Warner Theater.  Instead of writing something long and boring about how much I love just about anything that has to do with alternative fuel sources, I’ll let you watch the trailer: F...

• Burning Small Extremities

  Posted on Thursday June 25th, 2009 at 17:12 in music, entertainment, movies, rip

  Farrah Fawcett lost her battle against cancer today.  Unlike a lot of people, I don’t think of Charlie’s Angels when I hear her name.  Instead, I think of Extremities, The Burning Bed, and Small Sacrifices. When I was reading about her death on...

• Spirit Quest Film Fest

  Posted on Friday June 19th, 2009 at 21:52 in entertainment, movies, erie

  Nearly two years ago, I wrote this blog entry about Al being an extra in a movie being shot right here in little ol’ Erie.  The movie, Signs of the Time, is now being released and I just got an e-mail this evening from Crystal Pix, Inc. that t...

  Back when I was a kid, a lifetime ago, give or take, one of my favorite things was going to the drive-in.  My siblings and I would be freshly bathed, dressed in our pajamas, and loaded into the Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser Station Wagon (yes, just l...

• Bottle (Sticker) Shock

  Posted on Monday April 20th, 2009 at 11:04 in humor, movies, gastronomy

  Last night, Al and I thoroughly enjoyed the movie Bottle Shock, the mostly true story of the 1976 blind wine tasting competition held in Paris that pitted French wines against California wines.  Although I’m usually not interested in seeing m...

• Kids & Movies

  Posted on Tuesday April 7th, 2009 at 10:44 in Common Sense, movies, childfree, blogging bloggers

  More and more, I’ve been hearing from people about ill-mannered people and their children in movie theaters.  I’ve had a few bad experiences, too.  There was the time the kid behind me was kicking the back of my seat and her parents di...

• Madonna, Angelina, and … Joan?

  Posted on Friday April 3rd, 2009 at 15:49 in music, entertainment, movies, Gossip

  I understand that the living conditions in countries such as Malawi are less than what you and I might find comfortable.  Perhaps this is the reason that Madonna is attempting to adopt a second Malawian child. Apparently, there was a bit of cont...

  According to Monsters & Critics, a movie about the Three Stooges is in the works and Sean Penn has reportedly signed on to play Larry.  The studio is apparently trying to get Benicio del Toro for the role of Moe and has signed on Jim Carrey ...

• My Godfather

  There’s a nice, lively discussion going on over at Film Freaks Film Club now that the first winners have been announced, including a bit of a discussion regarding the career of Al Pacino.  Now, I admit up front that I’m no film critic. ...

  Here’s my completed bracket for March Movie Madness.  Oh, yes, I know, many of you will disagree with my picks.  And yes, I know I didn’t fill in the championship round.  That’s just to keep you guessing.  You know… add a little suspen...

  I finished filling out my bracket for March Movie Madness and have sent it off to Jefe.  I’ll post my bracket sometime tomorrow afternoon, once the deadline for submitting them has passed.  Then you may all feel free to mock my picks.

• March Movie Madness 2009

  Posted on Thursday March 19th, 2009 at 14:43 in humor, movies, blogging bloggers

  Jefe is at it again.  This year, March Movie Madness pits actors/actresses against one another until we determine the top dog.  If you’re interested* (M.V. Moorhead and Mrs. Moorhead…I’m especially lookin’ at the two of you), head ...

• Suspension of Disbelief

  Posted on Sunday March 1st, 2009 at 11:54 in movies

  Al and I watched The Dark Knight last night.  I believe we hold the minority opinion of this movie… we didn’t like it.  Well, that’s not entirely true.  We liked parts of it, but when you put the whole two and half freaking hours...

• Chris + Henry = Terry

  Posted on Monday February 23rd, 2009 at 11:36 in entertainment, humor, movies, television

  Al thinks everyone looks like somebody else.  We’ll be at a lecture and he’ll lean over and whisper in my ear that the woman in the second row, three seats in, looks just like Baby Jane Hudson or we’ll be at the grocery store and he’ll n...

• Leveraging My House

  Posted on Friday January 9th, 2009 at 12:19 in entertainment, movies, television

  I don’t watch a lot of television for the simple reason that I’m not the least bit interested in most of what’s on the idiot box.  I’ll watch reruns of Law & Order (the original and SVU … I never got in to the C...

• Dinner and a Movie?

  Posted on Monday December 8th, 2008 at 19:47 in movies, erie, gripes

  Al and I have been itching to go to a movie lately.  We haven’t been to a movie in a theater in eons.  Unfortunately, there’s crap playing at the Plaza Cinemas, which is about the only theater we will go to in the Erie area. Is Cadilla...
