Last week I expressed disappointment with the Fall’s new shows as—-in my opinion—-really none of the best and brightest have fully lived up their potential. Well this week I have no such complaints about the midseason crop as there’s not an outright stinker in the bunch of the ones I will talk about today. Consider…

Monday Morning Movie Reviewer: “Rampart,” Don’t Miss This Polarizing Gem
Although the first four reviews were all centered around strong women (although only Haywire showcased a convincing one) then this movie is strictly for the men as I feel there is a real gender divide in those who will enjoy this under-valued film about a dirty cop on the downward spiral. That isn’t to say…
Movie Review: Haywire
Completing our trend of reviewing movies starring tough women (the bouncy bounty hunter in One For the Money, the robotic vampire in Underworld, and the ultimate bitch in The Woman in Black) is Haywire, the feature film debut of former MMA star Gina Carano. In it she plays a double crossed private security contractor out…
Movie Review: The Woman in Black
This haunted house movie starring Daniel Radcliffe is well-made but I just really didn’t go for it. I guess I’m just a little worn out by this type of thing but I will say there are many worse ways you could spend your money this month. What Works: The movie has an eerie, relentlessly creepy…
Movie Review: “Underworld Awakening” A Ten Word Review
Bloody but bloodless wannabe video game. What Works: What Doesn’t: No really, nothing. What I Would Have Done Differently: lol
Movie Review: “One For the Money” Five Word Review
Very Bad What Works: Nothing. What Doesn’t: Everything. What I Would Change: lol
Sunday’s Sermons: Why I’m Not Impressed with Santorum’s “Miracle”
For those that can’t immediately tell what the title of this article refers to, let me recap. First, Rick Santorum’s presidential campaign was all but over as little as two weeks ago. The dude had absolutely no chance of beating Romney, and was even behind Newt Gingrich. At around the time he was becoming a political…
Everything Sunday’s Sermons Has Taught Me
And finally completing the site’s series on “Everything [insert section here] has taught me” comes the final one for the final day of the week: Sunday’s Sermons. I have to admit that writing things in a top five style list has been tantalizingly easy this past week and I’m tempted to keep doing it, but,…
Everything I’ve Learned From (God Help Us) Bubba’s Sex Tips, How to be a Player in a Rural Area
3. Rednecks Have Feelings Too. Oh sure, we all know that longing is for sissies, heartbreak is for women, and crying is for yankees. And yet, all that underestimates how many feelings are beneath the surface of rednecks. Just look at this heartwarming poem (text message) I wrote my beloved: Roses are red, Violets are…
Everything Interviews with the Invisible Has Taught Me
Once again, I’m throwing out some lessons learned through the different sections I run on the site. And today brings what Interviews with the Invisible taught me…[Man, I have to admit this a great way to fill space.] 5. Someone Doesn’t Have to Be Famous to Be Interesting, In Fact It Helps If They Aren’t…
My Ten Favorite Items That Ran In the Last Year
Rolling on with our one year anniversary week, here I count down my personal favorite ten items that ran in the last year. I’m not saying they’re the BEST ones necessarily and there are dozens of runner-ups I couldn’t list, but I think this gives a pretty good summation of what the site’s all about….
Everything Petty Issues Has Taught Me In the Last Year
Lessons 1 through 5: Not a damn thing. Oh well, might as well make a list anyway. Lesson 5: That People Really Love “Asshole of the Week.” Although I think 14 individual segments a week is plenty, if I were to add one, it would probably an entirely separate segment for Asshole of the Week….
Everything Now What? (Life Post-Grad) Has Taught Me
Rolling on with this week’s trend of going through what each segment has taught me (I’ll stop short of recapping what “Mom Jokes” taught me but not until then), it’s “Now What?’s” turn to act a little wiser. But since part of being young is not learning from your mistakes, I didn’t really learn much…
