On its surface The Rocker appears to be a cheap, knock-off of The School of Rock. However looking beyond the surface, this movie offers something that the Linklater cinematic-popsicle never did… a heart! Our bumbling idiot in this comedy is Fish played by Rainn Wilson of TV’s The Office. And while he does not deliver the … Continue reading

It’s because I went back to work on Monday after a glorious 2 and a half week vacation away from the daily grind of counting items at Best Buy. Yes, I count things. Items, ranging from video games to big screen LCD televisions … Continue reading
I mentioned briefly the other day, in my short article about Miracle at St. Anne, that I’m a fan of movies about the Second World War. As a child, one of the first movies I really fell in love with was The Great Escape, to the point where I used to carry around a baseball … Continue reading
