Hollywood, FL – 1/11/07 at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino And first, a word from me about the venue. Never again will I see a concert there. I understand that it’s an Indian Reservation. I understand they are a Sovereign Nation. I fully support that and have no problems with that. I also understand it’s […]
Christopher Paolini wrote Eragon when he was about 15 and I enjoyed the first book. Didn’t really like the second. Either the novelty had worn off, or perhaps his parents didn’t help with this one as much. So now they’ve made a movie. This movie could have been decent — it could never be great […]
This is a retro-post. I put this online 24 December 2005 using the date it was originally sent out. Yesterday afternoon I saw “Billy Elliot” — I had mixed feelings about seeing it but had always been curious. To be sure, it did not turn out to be the movie I expected. However, I can […]
Well, the reviews are in. They’re mixed. Either you love this movie or you hate this movie — at least that’s how the reviews are. I was mildly entertained. There are some good parts, some bad parts, but it’s completely mindless. Sometimes, though, that’s okay. It starts slow. Painfully so. But after about 20 minutes, […]
(No spoilers) Let me first start by saying I read all of Fleming’s Bond books some years ago, and was dismayed at what Bond had become. This is not to say I didn’t think Brosnan wasn’t a great Bond, he was. However, the Bond they wrote for him did not have the true spirit of […]
The Who in Concert (Sunrise, Florida), 11-20-2006 BankAtlantic Center. With Set List. Before we get to the who, a brief word about Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders. What a fucking awesome opening act. They need their own show. Talk about the currently reigning queen of rock, she’s right here. You can see she’s been around […]
Saturday night I finally saw the latest in the Cirque Du Soleil oeuvre, Love. First, let me state that it was wonderful through and through and I highly recommend into to anyone as entertainment. However, this should not be the first Cirque you ever see. I’ll explain why below. The music was outstanding, but that’s […]
I’ll start by saying when I saw the previews for this film, I thought it wouldn’t be worth seeing. It looked to be insanely stupid. As it turns out it was insanely stupid. And that turns out to be its saving grace. If this film took itself seriously, if it made any effort to be […]
This is a retro-post. I put this online 24 December 2005 using the date it was originally sent out. Exclusive permission for TEXT distribution was granted to International Tina Turner Fan Club for reproduction in their newsletter. This ended up appearing as their cover article, a big honour indeed. I first heard Tina Turner back […]
This is a retro-post. I put this online 24 December 2005 using the date it was originally sent out. Lord of the Rings — Part One (The Movie Review) Well, this movie is one I had been waiting for a very long time. My expectations were unobtainable and possibly unreasonable. My fear of being let […]
