Vanilla Sky (2001)
Cameron Crowe is, by far, one of my favorite writer/directors. He creates characters that, to me, feel like “real” people. Although his screenplays are full of witty banter, he also gives said characters alot of dialogue that we the moviegoers can relate to. I like that quite a bit. I think that this associating with […]
Mad Max (1979)
***SPOILER HEADS UP***
Mad Max is one of those movies that I think I saw eons ago (yeah, that’s right beetchez, I just said “eons”), as a kid. However long ago it may have been, I really didn’t remember much about it at all, with the exception of “the hand” (if you’ve seen it you’ll know […]
The Colony (1995)
Does unemployment suck? Yes, it most certainly does. Are there perks though? Yep, there’s those too. One perk of mine would be to watch made-for-television movies in my under-roos. I set out on a mission yesterday. After perusing the job sites, I decided to watch a drama movie that I had never seen before, using […]
the one about…frustration
I’ve spent the past few days bouncing this cathartic piece around in my head, trying to think of the best way to word it. I’ve come to the realization that no matter how I word it, the things that I need to get off my chest include some major revelations and should just be said.
For […]
Population 436 (2006)
I hate to say it but, as a general rule, I think less of movies that go straight-to-DVD and bypass a traditional theatre release. Call me shallow or ignorant if you will, but when a film goes directly to rental status, it always feels like a little something fishy is going on. Like maybe, the […]
the one where I beat my previous PR time…
Aaaaaah, yeah boyeee….
This morning at the Children’s Way 5K run, I beat my previous 5K PR of 26:15!
I crossed the line at 25:53…
Woot woot, bitchez!
Clive Barker’s The Plague (2006)
My taste in movies is all over the map, let me tell you. After watching United 93 on Wednesday night, I went a little “lighter” with The Plague last night.
Starring James Van Der Beek (what is he doing in THIS???) and Ivana Milicevic, it’s a horror movie about all the world’s children who slip into […]
United 93 (2006)
It’s been so long since I’ve sat down and actually gathered my thoughts together and directed them into a movie review that I’m not even sure where to start. Watching Paul Greengrass’ United 93 last night, the only thing I could think of was my need to get my thoughts out on paper, though. If […]
the one about….cleaning out the office
I’m doing the obligatory “clean-out-your-inbox” dance today and came across a couple pretty funny emails….Here’s a copy-n-paste of one of them….One of my coworkers has been overheard using these in everyday conversation…I’d call them by their “official” title but that would give away who the culprit was…
Indisgression there
What in case
2 for 1, 1/2 dozen of […]
the one about…unemployment
So today’s “oh shit” moment has come…
Actually there’s been a couple of things today that have left me feeling like my cubicle is closing in on me…
I’ve become convinced, in a stand-up-comedy-routine-sort-of-way that job searching is alot like dating in some aspects; the line trod between desperate and eager is a very fine one, and […]
