Spider-Man 2 (2004) – There is no more ridiculous blanket statement that permeates the world of film snobbery than “sequels suck.” If you say that, you don’t know what the fuck you are talking about. Yeah, many series have a case of diminishing returns as they go on and on, but there are sequels that … Continue reading →

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 →

The Big Year (2011) – In his retirement, my father has collected hobbies. One of the more recent ones is bird-watching, or rather “birding” as it is apparently called by those in the know. I like birds and will take a moment to look at them if I’m in the vicinity, but I never quite … Continue reading →

Community – “The Geography of Global Conflict” Okay, the only real problem I have with this week’s Community is that the interesting characters introduced last week played by Michael Kenneth Williams and John Goodman are nowhere to be seen. On that note, neither is Jim Rash as the unusual dean of Greendale Community college. That’s … Continue reading →

Community – “Biology 101” Community might just be my favorite sitcom on television right now. First, and most importantly, it’s hilarious. It also experiments with genre and style. How many other sitcoms have episodes that were spaghetti westerns, fantasy epics, or Claymation Christmas specials? At the heart of it though, it’s about the characters. You … Continue reading →

So I figured if I’m going to blogging about television, I should probably weigh in on the Emmys. I realized this though as the Emmys were already in progress and I had been drinking (I started to sober up somewhere around the Drama categories). These are my meandering real-time thoughts as I watched the broadcast. … Continue reading →

The Informant! (2009) — One of those true story movies that keeps you in constant “what the fuck?” mode. Plus using Wikipedia (the most half-assed research method known to man) I learned that it is all more-or-less true. This movie has several great strengths. The most prominent of which is Matt Damon. His portrayal of … Continue reading →
