As you might expect, the arrival of Kinsey Louise Marshall (a.k.a. “Stormy”) has reduced our free time (and our sleeping time) to an almost non-existent state. However, I did manage to catch an early screening of the latest “Die Hard” movie and write up a review. “A Good Day To Die Hard” continues the trend [...]

Talking “Noobz” and competitive gaming with Blake Freeman…
January 28th, 2013 · No Comments
I had a fun interview last week with Blake Freeman, a filmmaker who wrote, directed, and starred in the new movie “Noobz.” The film is sort of like a mix between “Grandma’s Boy” and “Road Trip,” as it follows a quartet of slackers who travel across the country to compete in a big video-game competition. [...]

My review of “Jack Reacher” (a.k.a. “Jack Reacher? More like Jack Retch-er! Zing!”)
December 22nd, 2012 · No Comments
I apologize for that alternate headline, but I know better than to try to get away with a pun that bad on a site that people actually read. (No offense to my mother and my wife, the only regular readers of this blog, as well as the one or two people who end up here [...]
My “Lincoln” review (a.k.a. No vampires, but extra Daniel Day-Lewis)
November 9th, 2012 · 1 Comment
This week, I reviewed Steven Spielberg’s new film, “Lincoln.” Two-time Oscar winner Daniel Day-Lewis plays Abraham Lincoln in the movie, which chronicles the period of time midway through the Civil War when the 16th President was trying to push through the amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would outlaw slavery. It’s a fantastic film that’s [...]
My “Dredd 3D” review (a.k.a. This is how you make a Judge Dredd movie, Hollywood)
September 21st, 2012 · No Comments
I’ve already mentioned how much I love the new “Dredd 3D” movie, but my full, spoiler-free review of Karl Urban’s debut as Judge Dredd went up on Digital Trends this morning. Let’s just say I desperately wanted to give director Pete Travis a standing slow-clap as the credits rolled on this one. It’s fantastic. Here’s [...]
My “Premium Rush” review (a.k.a. “No brakes, no problem”)
August 24th, 2012 · No Comments
Earlier this week, I got a look at Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s new movie, “Premium Rush.” The movie hits theaters this weekend, and as I mention in my review of it for Digital Trends, I really enjoyed it. The movie stars Gordon-Levitt as a hotshot bike messenger who’s chased by a vicious, crooked cop from one end [...]
Talking Tetris with the director of “Ecstasy of Order”
August 23rd, 2012 · No Comments
Earlier this week, I interviewed the director of “Ecstasy of Order: The Tetris Masters,” a documentary about the search for the world’s greatest Tetris player. If you get a chance to watch the documentary, I highly recommend checking it out. Jessica and I both loved it (proving that it’s accessible to gamers and non-gamers alike), [...]
