Happy New Year

I’m headed to my in-laws to celebrate New Years with my wife’s family. They are on dial-up, thus I shall be mostly, if not completely absent, from Brewster’s Millions until around Thursday of next week.
Happy New Year Everyone.

Best DVDs Of 2006

The boys at Blogcritics asked me to pitch in for their end-of-year DVD list. I was happy to oblige, though I must confess difficulties since I dind’t go to many movies in 2006, nor watched all that many DVDs that came out this year. You, my readers, should know by now that I […]

Christmas Booty 2006

Call me greedy, egotistical and material minded, but I love getting presents. Throughout the year I am generally very money conscious and stick to a strict budget so much that I rarely buy myself frivilous items. But Christmastime means all bets are off and my wife and I splurge a good deal. I love it. […]

Worst Dream Ever

I dreamed last night that I was watching TV.  That’s it, no talking, no moving, no action what-so-ever.  I wasn’t even changing channels.
What’s worse is that I was looking at the guide station.  So not only did I dream about watching TV, I dreamed that I was looking to see what was on.  In an […]

DVD Pick Of The Week: The Black Dahlia

I guess with all the big releases stacked up for pre-Christmas sales, the week after pretty much gets the shaft. There are only a couple of big releases this wee
k and a whole lot of straight-to-video garbage. Strangely, for such a crummy week, it was difficult to decide on which flick would get […]

Bootleg Country: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - 10/28/06

In his 30 year career Tom Petty has sold more than 50 million albums, received three Grammy awards, a Golden Note award, the Gershwin Award For Lifetime Musical Achievement, and been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So why doesn’t he seem to get more respect?
To me, it stems from his ability […]

Movie Review: Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman

I’d like to say that I grew up going to the Midnight Movies and staying up to watch the old MGM horror movies on television. I’d like to say that, but I can’t because, well, because it simply isn’t true. I grew up watching movies from my generation, the 80’s, and that means […]

DVD Pick Of The Week: A Scanner Darkly

I’m finding one of the more interesting pieces of this column is deciding whether to pick films that I have seen and loved, or that I have not seen and really want to. The thing is that I mostly don’t go to the movies anymore, so I wait until they are out on DVD. […]

“Whiskey in the Jar” – Grateful Dead
From So Many Roads (1965-1995)
One of the many things I love about the Grateful Dead is their undying passion for the music. This is a band that played together for 30 odd years and never seemed to stop exploring new grounds or finding joy in the pleasure of […]
