This is a retro-post. I put this online 24 December 2005 using the date it was originally sent out. LOTR: Two Towers Review First, it’s hard to say whether a review of this film contains Spoilers because if you’ve read the book, you already know what happens. If you’ve not read the book, stop now. […]
This is a retro-post. I put this online 24 December 2005 using the date it was originally sent out. 12-17 @ American Airlines Arena (Miami)12-18 @ Office Depot Center (Sunrise) Musically the concerts were pretty much identical. The set list was the same except for one song early on in the show. The show at […]
This is a retro-post. I put this online 24 December 2005 using the date it was originally sent out. Bruckheimer is a word that instills fear in every movie-goer because he’s a master of over the top. Mostly that is not good. In fact, since Top Gun it hasn’t good. The bad streak here does […]
This is a retro-post. I put this online 24 December 2005 using the date it was originally sent out. I have just returned from London where I flew especially to see a special Gala Charity Concert at Royal Albert Hall. I obtained the tickets through eltonjohn.com not that long ago. When you factor in airfare, […]
The actual link to the Book of Horrible Questions at Amazon which I discuss here: This book is not suitable for minors and contains graphic and sexually explicit material — though none is included in this post. This is from Book of Horrible Questions (ISBN 0-312-20434-5) by Smith and Doe. I highly recommend this book […]
I finally saw Little Miss Sunshine today. I was interested in seeing it and I was also not interested in seeing it. It’s one of those movies you see reviews about that could cause it to go either way. But the people I know who saw it, really liked it. I am pleased to report […]
In another post, I reviewed the play Billy Elliot (London) which has been widely regarded as the best British Musical Ever. Well, it’s finally coming to the United States. As much as I personally loved this play, I’m not sure it’s a good thing. I understood the play, I was able to understand the language […]
Ah, before that damned almost-Hurricane Ernesto arrives, I shall bang out one last blog entry. I’ve finished Steven Brust’s latest entry in the Vlad Taltos series, Dzur, and enjoyed it thoroughly. Okay, I’m a Brust fan and this isn’t exactly an entirely unbiased review. However, a few special points to bring up: the ending is […]
I recently read A Year in the Merde by Stephen Clarke — you may click on the link to see my review of that book. I ended up liking it quite a bit, so I ordered the sequel In The Merde For Love. The first book had this quote: “There are lots of French people […]
I finally got around to seeing Superman Returns. Better late than never, I suppose. I really didn’t want to see it because I thought the previews looked really sucky. Well you know what? The movie was good. It was a bit creepy seeing Marlon Brando in it since he was long dead when this was […]
