The Year of My Socks, Two-Thousand and Eighteen
I think that when the inevitable unauthorized autobiographies of my life begin to come out (expect one at your favorite bookseller about the same time that Hell freezes right the hell over), one thing will be made abundantly, irrevocably clear:I am an embarrassingly slothful person. And if it weren’t for the Puddinette, I would never … Continue reading A movie in 100 words or less: Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters
[Author’s note: While I usually try to squeeze my thoughts about a motion picture into a scant 100 words because, hello, I’m Wordy McWorderson and can go on word rampages that’d make Godzilla’s time in Tokyo look like day camp, I thought too many thing about Man of Steel. Sometimes you just have to know … Continue reading A movie in 100 words or more: Man of Steel
I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned this or not (and quite frankly, I’m too lazy at the moment to open a web browser and type in a couple of search terms to find out, which seems like I’ve leveled into a whole new echelon of slothfulness, if you ask me), but I’ve been doing an … Continue reading A movie in 100 words or less: Here Comes the Boom
To be completely and totally honest with you—and really, isn’t that both what we want in this relationship?—Tuesday’s Big. Exciting. News! wasn’t really “new” news anymore by the time it posted on Tuesday. Because, in fact, I’d gotten The Call, (yes, one of those calls all writers dream about as they toil the long, late … Continue reading A movie in 100 words or less: Dark Shadows
In the past, this “movie in 100 words or less” thing I try to do has proven pretty difficult. I don’t always have opinions about a given thing, but when I do, my thoughts are rarely either neat or concise. In other words, if you asked me if I thought Daylight Savings Time was the … Continue reading A movie in 100 words or less: Bachelorette
Usually, the disc-sleeve inside that familiar red DVD envelope from the mail gets torn open the evening after Pete the Postman slips it into your mailbox. It's like you're a 10 year-old all over again and Santa just came and you've not only got a G.I. Joe with kung-fu grip, but also a full-scale Millennium … Continue reading A movie in 100 words or less: The Perks of Being a Wallflower
It's not uncommon then I find myself waiting for a specific movie to arrive in the mailbox in that bright red envelope that's now almost as familiar as the back of my own hand. Looper was one such movie. This business, unfortunately, happens to me often, probably owing to the fact that Netflix likes to … Continue reading A movie in 100 words or less: Looper
I had myself a conundrum last Saturday night. One the one had, I had the Blu-ray for Flight at home, which looked all tempting and stuff. I mean, for one, it's Denzel. Plus, everyone said, "This is a good movie". Seemed like a risk-free way to spend my Saturday. On the other hand, though, I … Continue reading A movie in 100 words or less: Flight
It's been a bit since I've done a Movie in 100 Words or Less. It seems like over holidays I was pumping 'em out like every week or so, which is nearly as fast those crazy Duggar people pump out young-un's with j-names. But then I got all wrapped up in some books or whatever, … Continue reading A movie in 100 words or less: Ted
Surely you have wondered about it at some point or another, right? I mean, as a self-professed "book person" and someone who always always has at least one book-in-progress on Goodreads, you have to wonder at what's holding me back? That is, why, as it's obviously more fun than a laundry basket full of puppies … Continue reading Movies versus Books (or Why I don’t do "Books in 100 words or less")
