I was lucky enough to get an opportunity to see Winnebago Man last weekend. I saw it as a presentation with the filmmakers by New York’s Rooftop Films. It was a pretty unbeatable experience to watch a great movie on a New York City rooftop under a night sky and a summer breeze … Continue reading
As I sit here sifting through mountains of fan mail and nude fan-portraits, I keep reading the same questions over and over: “Where’s your Rescue Me blog?” “The show’s been so great the past few weeks; haven’t you been watching?” “Don’t you want to finish what you started?” (That’s what she said.) … Continue reading
Wouldn’t dream of drafting a proper review of Drag Me To Hell. On the other side of seeing it for the first time, all I’d want to report is that it’s fantastic. Oh, did I love this movie. Go see it! Don’t read about it. Go in blind, and go with the … Continue reading
I’m only writing this because I know that he reads everything I write, particularly the stuff I post to the internet. We’re cool like that. Today is the birthday of Clint Eastwood, American icon. “Icon” is a word that gets thrown around pretty loosely these days, but there’s not a lot of … Continue reading
In retrospect, this wasn’t an episode I should have been watching with my grandma.

Let me back up: X-Men Origins: Wolverine … Continue reading
Here’s the episode we’ve been waiting to see. Michael J. Fox is back. Sheila is back in her psychosexy glory. The heartbreak is back. The funny never left. You really need to be watching this show. Assuming I keep doing this for the full 22 episode season, there are bound to be … Continue reading
I don’t get it. I mean, of course I get it. She’s a beautiful girl. I’m a guy. I love beautiful girls. I do get it. What I don’t get, and here goes the unpopular opinion, is all the male hysteria, all the near-unanimous talk that “Megan Fox is the hottest girl on … Continue reading
Number 69 already? Wow. Sexy number. Calls for a sexy entry. Well, I watched Charley Varrick recently; does Walter Matthau fit the bill? Speaking seriously, there are many worse things a man could do for himself than concoct a Walter Matthau film festival. Here is what Matthau was up to in the … Continue reading
