Mass Media
« Previous EntriesCloverfield
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008The trailers were suspenseful, enticing, exciting. Promises of amazing special effects — yet another but better version of my beloved NYC being exploded, torn down, bombed, attacked by a giant, unseen monster. Though little detail was available, just the special effects whore in me felt like Cloverfield would rocket to the top of my favorites […]
I Am Legend
Tuesday, December 25th, 2007*No spoilers here. Read with freedom from worry!
Yesterday, The Husband and I went to see the highly anticipated I Am Legend. Now normally, when a movie has been so hyped up both in the media and by friends, I will generally wind up disappointed. Not so, however with I Am Legend. This movie was so […]
The Golden Compass
Saturday, December 8th, 2007Let’s just start with an explanation. I am, perhaps, one of the harshest, non-professional, movie critics around. Sure, sometimes I can be bought off with expensive special effects, but at the end of the day, I can make that Roper guy seem like a pussy cat. Oh, and no spoilers at all, […]
Young Frankenstein On Broadway
Monday, November 19th, 2007I recently bemoaned the lack of originality on Broadway these days — everything is a recycled movie or comic book or a show that’s been done a million times. Come on now, who needs a live theatrical version of Legally Blonde? Grease? I saw that in the theater when I was a […]
Ultra-Lounge
Friday, October 19th, 2007Ultra-Lounge is a series of the hippest space age meets modern music that you’ll ever find. I’ve got the Mondo Exotica collection and I just adore the dulcet, swinging tunes. Puts you right into a cocktail party in a 50’s suburban livingroom, complete with the “hi-fi” spinning and the mixed drinks flowing. That or […]
The Steve Wilkos Show
Wednesday, September 12th, 2007Steve Wilkos is the former (or perhaps even current) head of security from the Jerry Springer Show. He started guest hosting some episodes of Jerry for the last two years, and now he’s got his own show. He’s a former military guy and veteran Chicago police officer. Not sure you’d pick […]
RSVP
Wednesday, September 12th, 2007Looking for custom party invitations. Look no further than IBY. Seriously, when I was looking for invitations for our wedding just over a year ago, I looked at literally every invitation site on the internet. IBY has one great selection of all sorts of amazing wedding invites. Customizable to your liking. […]
Dexter
Monday, September 10th, 2007Dexter is a Showtime original series about a guy who is a serial killer, but a good serial killer, meaning he kills serial killers and other manner of bad guys. Sounds like a ridiculous premise, right? Yes, sure did to me. But I was in an absolute TV coma on Sunday, and […]
Rigamarole, The Game
Tuesday, September 4th, 2007Last evening, my friends and I got together for our semi-regular version of game night. There are the usuals, the bring alongs, and the new additions every now and then. We’re a bunch of predominantly lawyers, so things will often get contentious. As a brief example, when I was in the hospital, […]
Transformers, The Movie
Monday, August 6th, 2007Yeah, this isn’t really a movie review site, but the mass media category was looking a little empty and I figured we just saw this movie a few weeks ago so I might as well throw something new in the mix. So here we go….
Basically this movie sucked. As expected, the plot was thinner […]
