…what I've been up to, more or less…

9.5 Fallout New Vegas

Gaming has been such a rich experience for me, and my life has been better for it. There are so many wonderful worlds in my head created by game developers and shared with my family and friends. But just like my moral objection to vengeance-fueled thrillers that play on people’s worst...
9.5 Breaking Bad

This show is a gift to guys in midlife crisis that dream every day about how they can put it all out there. Jessie’s girl rolled him over first, man she loved him. Hurts so good. You wicked tease writers, start cranking out your goodness...
8.5 The Banger Sisters

You could have probably heard me groan when I first heard the premise for this movie – about two women in midlife, one who never “grew up” and one who did a 180, rejecting her wild past. But they pulled it off with style (and lots of great lines from Goldie, she rocked :> ). And...
9.5 Cashback

“Every minute counts.” This film is “stop and smell the roses” taken to a literal level. The characters are great – like in Extract, normal folks blown up just a little bit, each one given enough depth so you can warm up to them. You’ll have to be able to...
9.5 Anna Calvi: Desire

I need a louder stereo. I just threw out my beautiful ancient massive Bose speakers, from back when they made massive speakers, over 20 years ago, because they had literally disintegrated. This song demands a replacement. Not optional. This song must be...
[9.0] Monsoon Wedding

Monsoon Wedding has a dozen or more well-developed characters, all involved in the whirlwind of activity preparing for an arranged marriage. There are lots of great little subplots, bringing out the weaknesses and strenths of each of the characters. You’ll find something (or someone) to...
8.5 VH1′s Nocturnal State, etc.

OK, I guess I’m officially getting old, to be interested in a show on the “more mature” music video channel. Or am I just incurably immature for watching music videos at all? Age is so confusing these days. Is 40 the new 30? And 30 the new 20? Or do we all just remain...
[9.0] Enigma

English and Scottish accents, bad Nazis, lots of fun plot twists, cute smart girl-next-door that beats out the bombshell, and ENCRYPTION! How can you go wrong? I would see any movie weird enough to have cyptography as the main theme, but I would have never thought I would get to watch it with my...

Fetch me that pitcher, farm boy…

Fetch me that pitcher, farm boy...

Last weekend: plowed a field, fenced the horse paddock, set up two gates, dug four hitching post holes. What a hard days’ work looks like…
