    Review Cartoons

    I never got into the superhero or robot stuff, so no He-Man or Voltron or Transformers. Never got into Justice League or similar. For me it was all about Bugs Bunny / Roadrunner / Daffy / Sylvester / etc. I always rooted for the coyote and wanted so bad for Sylvester to eat that damn Tweety...

    Fun Foods You Won't Eat!

    There's a few foods I don't particularly like, but only two that I hate so much I just can't eat at all. The first is liver. Nasty stuff. The second, and by far the worst, is tomatoes. Raw tomatoes. I can eat (and very much enjoy) some tomato-based items, such as spaghetti, as long as they...

    Review Short Stories

    The Last Rung on the Ladder, by Stephen King. Story about a teen boy and his younger sister. I related to it, b/c I have a younger sister; and the dynamic in the story I could completely understand. The ending is a punch in the gut.

    Fun Edgar Allan Poe

    I grew up a big fan of Poe. The Tell-Tale Heart, of course. The Cask of Amontillado. The Black Cat. The Gold-Bug. Many others. In college I memorized the entire poem The Raven. Mostly b/c I liked it so much and it was a challenge, but also to show off at parties, LOL. Last year I read a...

    Well, A Fish Called Wanda, while not Python per se, certainly has Python fingerprints on it, and I love this movie. I've seen episodes of MP, and I do like a lot of their sketch comedy. Holy Grail was good, but not quite reaching my rating threshold. From my list, Flying Dagger is a Hong Kong...

    Review Angel Dust

    Well I hope my review prompts you to move it up the queue a bit. Perhaps you will like it (perhaps not). Either way, let us know what you think. I actually have not seen any other of Sogo Ishii's movies. I'm not a "follow the director" type as a general rule (there are a couple of...

    I don't watch volleyball, except during the Olympics. I enjoy it then. Quite a bit. I always root for the Asian teams, because, well, because of sights like the below... (and yes, I think she's cute!)

    Review Angel Dust

    Good grief. When will the marketing folks be required to at least watch the film the're blurbing about? This movie has nothing in common with The Usual Suspects. NOTHING. I'm flummoxed at how that association was made. At least the comparison to The Silence of the Lambs is fair, if a bit...

    Fun Your Favourite Films?

    The film that came to my mind immediately was Battle Royale 2. The original was a fresh, push-the-envelope, movie that I rated 5 stars. It easily makes my various "top movies" lists. However, the sequel was not just bad, but excruciatingly bad. Completely unwatchable. I think the director...

    Review Doramas

    I updated my post above to reflect just finishing the drama series Damo. When I started watching I thought the main girl looked really familiar. Turns out it is the same girl from the "upskirt panty shot" in Sex Is Zero. Well, in Damo, she is very cute and perky and the first half of the...
