Ted (2012) – I had a teddy bear growing up. His name was Teddy (I’m the creative type). He was my best friend and truth be told, I still kept him around longer than most kids do (not like in junior high or anything like that but still). He sits on a shelf in my … Continue reading →

Saving Private Ryan (1998) — That Spielberg kid might just have a future in the pictures… This movie is kind of odd tonally. It manages to be somehow unrelenting and sentimental at the same time. That shouldn’t really work but it does. The basic premise is not really an easy one. What is one guy’s … Continue reading →
