Robert Downey, jr is Tony Stark, a world-renowned weapons maker who's playboy prowess reeled in all twelve of one year's Playmates. His fancy world of fast cars and expensive booze is blown to bits when a convoy toting him through Afghanistan is hijacked by a group of rogue paramilitary types. As...

I could sense a heavy anticipation throughout the theater. The person next to me grabbed his coat and leaned towards the exit. I could hear the chatterboxes behind me gathering their belongings. There would be a race to get out of the theater and be the first to use some kind of play on the title...

Kal Penn and John Cho are back. I love these guys. When I worked at KOSI 101 here in Denver I'd get all kinds of interview opportunities, but many of them weren't suitable to air between Michael Bolton and Amy Grant, so while Cher crooned her love pains, I recorded interviews on an office phone d...

Yesterday I put up some shelves.  I also punched some holes in the wall.  I didn't use my fist, and there was no Tequila involved, although that would be more graceful than what I did, which is lean all my weight on the drill until it slipped off the head of the screw and crashed through the frag...

I watched the NCAA men's basketball championship.  I'm happy for Kansas.  As far as states go they deserve more credit.  It's just too bad they don't play their games along I-70. Afterwards, I waited for one of the players to hurt themselves while cutting down the nets. An NBA career ruined.  A f...

Demi Moore looks good. Her backless dress reveals a body made of rebar and tempered steel. Her graceful aging might only be trumped by her Flawless costar, Michael Caine. He just turned 75 and has appeared in every movie ever made. I have a feeling this won't be a big hit. It has some twists and ...

After finally winning an Academy Award, Martin Scorsese can direct something other than sprawling period movies and gangster films. Here he takes some cameras to a rock concert and, without Leo DiCaprio, could very well be up for more awards. Shine a Light is for true Stones fans. It's little mor...

I’m not to the point where I’m going to join a council on morality, but something’s got to happen about all the nudity these days.  My concern starts with my visiting mother-in-law.  She’s taking a break from her duties as the treasurer of her church and star singer of a Baltimore area choir to v...

This is the kind of movie that my wife and mother would love to watch together. They'd hunker down with some tea and cookies and, even if it were summer, wrap themselves in blankets. After a few beers my snide comments about fluffy girl movies would get me expelled from the room. But watching foo...

This is another film from director of whimsy Michel Gondry. He also did Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind as well as the more recent Science of Sleep. The latter is online in it's entirety. Have fun accessing that wacky movie here. For the more user-friendly Be Kind Rewind, Gondry lands Jack...
