The Last Stand Review Up at F.O.G.

Like a fine wine, Arnold Schwarzenegger is best uncorked at the proper temperature: in his case, molten hot. As a sheriff with a past and deputies you wouldn't trust with guns made from candy, (except for the chick who is weapon savvy and quite deadly—an angle rarely seen) the old Terminator battles a narco-crook and his cartel cronies. However this time there's something unusual and awkward. Visit Forces of Geek and read this week's "Reviews of Films I Have Never Seen" to fully mal educate yourself about this movie.

A man, a sheriff, a killing dynamo, Arnold is on screen and scowling again.

Happy January 2!

Happy birthday to Issac and his wolf man sideburns.

 Everyone celebrates January 1st. I choose to counter punch. On this day in 1920 sci-fi great Issac Asimov was born. In addition, 1904 saw the birth of Truus Klapwijk, Dutch diver, freestyle swimmer, and champion tulip eater. There's more on this day. So much more. I'm overcome. Image: All That I Love

Merry Christmas!

Maybe not such a blockhead after all, Charlie Brown celebrates the Yuletide.

Les Miserables Film Review Up at F.O.G.

A red flag symbolizes road construction or a train wreck in Les Miserables.

Actually, it's been up since last Thursday. But the rush of Christmas and a busy writing schedule have delayed my insightful thoughts on the film based on the musical based on the Victor Hugo novel based on a tale making the rounds at a French bowling alley. Go to Forces of Geek. Look, see, ponder, eat a fruit cake. Image: Chicago Mag

The Darkness Within is Here

"Bummed Out" lives here.

Over at Lulu with an Amazon listing soon to come. This collection of gritty tales examines darkness in its various forms. Among them is my very own "Bummed Out," a story of viciousness disguised as art and the high cost of hipness. Go, order, read, reflect, remark. Such is the way of our age.
