When writing my blog entries, I generally make some token effort to avoid major spoilers. DVD write-ups are obviously the exception, as there’s kind of a statute of limitations to how long you can keep a secret about movies. Still, I do try to avoid spoilers so that any of my readers (all twelve of … Continue reading
I was raised in a small town called Dursley that sits in the Cotswolds surrounded by some pretty stunning scenery. The town itself is a small market town that has seen it’s glory days long passed but that does not change the fact it was my home for many years and a big part of … Continue reading
I decided to title my first post on new music in a while in honor of the band that only days ago captured my heart. We Have Band, a three-piece electro/pop/rock/whateveryoucallitcallitgreat group from London whose debut album surfaced sometime in the last few months and absolutely rocks.

Granted, in my version of the afterlife, the recently deceased can drink heavily, so everything worked out pretty well. Met God and all that. And by God, I meant a random poster of Richard … Continue reading

Sundance Channel’s free movies on demand has highlighted Asia Extreme movies the past two weeks, so I made an effort to at least watch one of the many great films they had to offer. While I like the asian horror flicks, I really wanted to see Tazza: The High Rollers for a while and was … Continue reading
