“Ladies and Gentlemen” I absolutely have to tell you before I say anything at all – that you should immediately open another tab in your browser where you should find the next show time for Anderson’s “There Will Be Blood.” You should then purchase tickets and go and enjoy a movie that makes my brain spin with all of the …

Last weekend I went and saw two very different movies. Here is what I thought of them. Friday: I was quick witted enough to go to the box office earlier in the day to get tickets for the big monster rummages around big city summer blockbuster in the middle of winter “Cloverfield” – which was great because judging from the …

How miserable and gross is the night that is trapped inside of this tube? Nightmarishly so . . . nightmarishly so. I am an absolute sucker for packaging and marketing and shiny things – let me make that point clear. One day I ran out of toothpaste – which is a bad bargaining position to be in – it is …
