Beginning of the New Year
Just a quick update after one week of the New Year, and 1001 days. With 7 days down, I’ve managed to knock-off a couple of minor items from the 101, mostly just buying small stuff around the house. A quck trip to Ikea and the local big-box home stores yielded a $50 faux-persian rug for …
Quick Movie Reviews
Friday was the first light day I’ve had in a while, so I decided to binge on a couple of new movies. Here’s the quick cuts: the Last Kiss Really a good movie; funny and at turns poignant. Not a typical romantic comedy, with a couple of cringe worthy moments (and that’s a good thing). …

review: Sin City
I just got back from the 12:01AM showing of Sin City, and it was well worth the effort. In a sentence, this was the Pulp Fiction of comic book movies, and I imagine many knock-off films will follow this flick as well. Don’t be mistaken, if you’re not into gratuitous violence and scantily clad women, …

review: Catwoman
Ok, I basically enjoyed Catwoman. I mean really, Halle Berry strutting around for 90 minutes in a tight-leather outfit; I was going to enjoy it for that reason alone. But frankly, it wasn’t that bad. I think most people who saw it took the movie too seriously; I saw it as part of the same …
