Having looked over this year’s list of Golden Globes Nominees, I’m truly starting to believe that the time may be near for The Hollywood Foreign Press to be put in a padded room. They’ve always been a touch on the odd side, but it feels like with every passing year, they’re not so much “ha-ha”…
Confessions
I must apologize for not writing nearly as often as I’d like to lately. The truth of the matter is that I’ll be moving at the end of the month. While moving in itself is no picnic, moving during the holidays isn’t even a rain-soaked picnic near a cluster of ant hills. Still, I shall…
Independence Day
As I look at my tea-stained and scribbled-on desk calender, I see that I’ll be tearing off the page tomorrow and staring at “December” come Monday morning. If the fact that I need to go buy myself a new calender isn’t a sure sign that the credits are close to rolling on 2007, then the…

Not only that, but game nights are automatic ‘don’t make plans’. So while there are easily half a dozen films…
Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind
I’m in the mood for a movie tonight, just not entirely sure which one. At the moment, I find myself trying to decide between 30 DAYS OF NIGHT and RENDITION…..which is sort of like asking yourself “Do I want steak for dinner or a baloney sandwich?” Now, I’m not trying to say that one of…
