Ant-Man: Worth Seeing

Posted on August 3, 2015 by Steve

Let’s see…the Marvelverse streak is now 12 and this makes them the new champs. There were doubts since Ant-Man is more obscure than the B-list Avengers who have joined this Spring. I on the other hand remember, this character was … Continue reading →

Weird Science turns 30 today

Posted on August 2, 2015 by Steve

Weird Science probably isn’t on the short list of great John Hughes’ movies due to its audience being somewhat smaller in range than The Breakfast Club or Ferris Bueller’s Day Off; the poor, oppressed teenage boys who get beaten up. A demographic that … Continue reading →

Happy birthday to Kate! (2015)

Posted on July 30, 2015 by Steve

Took the day off from work as I traditionally do. Gotta’ suck up all those freebies you can for being a loyal customer at Alamo (saw Vacation), ate at Plucker’s and had my drink covered at Starbucks. Overall, it has been … Continue reading →

Four thousand posts

Posted on July 28, 2015 by Steve

A nice spot between my birthday and wedding anniversary. It’s 27 days late but as the cliché goes…better late than never. What to talk about? How about the math. Let’s see, this format began on July 3, 2005. That makes … Continue reading →

Happy 75th Birthday to Bugs Bunny

Posted on July 27, 2015 by Steve

A landmark birthday for a signature cartoon character. I regret not having anything bigger for him but I think the first fly-by of Pluto and more urgent matters in my life give me a pass. The Time-Warner Empire on the … Continue reading →
