I don’t know for sure, son. But a recent experience I had leads me to believe I might have a slight idea. The other night, I enjoyed a performance of Epica here in La Paz. For those who are unaware, Epica is a symphonic metal band from Holland and they are currently touring their latest … Continue reading
So… The Book Of Eli. Um… … The Hughes Brothers have a solid track record with me. They’ve made one movie I loved (Menace II Society – even with that stupid, stupid title that sounds like a sequel to a stupid thriller that doesn’t exist) and two movies I liked (Dead Presidents and From Hell). … Continue reading
But wait! There’s more. Catch up by reading PAGE ONE first, don’t be an asshole… Now then, moving right along. PAGE TWO – I THROUGH W (there is no X,Y,Z I stop at W. -not the movie, the letter- Three guesses what the last movie is. And the first two don’t count. Hint: It’s … Continue reading
Man… It’s been a while since I’ve blogged. It’s been a while since I’ve done anything except… what I’ve been doing. Like David Patrick Kelly said in 48 Hrs: I was BUSY. And when I wasn’t busy, I was procrastinating like a sumbitch. In fact, I even owe 2 reviews for THE CHEWER REVIEWER of … Continue reading
And then there was June… Here’s where the Summer typically kicks into high gear, bringing out the big guns and other similar clichés – meant to signify armament and/or mechanical prowess – as a metaphor standing in for the competitive sweepstakes nature of mainstream Hollywood marketing.

Not that this matters much in La Paz. “Winter” simply means colder nights and mornings than usual. There’s no such thing as a fully-rounded season … Continue reading
That was when I published my first blog on this site. And I “officially” became a member of the community as well, logging my first post on the boards. So… In celebration of this, I thought it would be nice to clock in a few words about CHUD in general and the community in particular. … Continue reading
That’s a bit of a pretentious title calculated to get your attention… I don’t really know when I “discovered” music and I won’t bore you with the history of my musical tastes. I really just want to talk about this one band I’ve gotten really into lately because it’s hit me like a bit of … Continue reading
Okay then. I was born in New York City to a Bolivian father and a Sicilian mother. My grandfather was born in Holland to a Bolivian father and a Dutch mother. So, I am Dutch/Bolivian/Sicilian and American by birth. But if you ask me, point blank, what are you? (I’m Batman) – I answer: I’m … Continue reading
Stop! Don’t read before reading PART 2. Or, for that matter, PART 1. Ok… So, I should probably preface this by mentioning that there are only 4 or 5 other people in the theater. I am able to find perfect seats right in the middle with a great view of the panoramic screen… But the … Continue reading
