Dinner and Confessions of a Shopaholic

May 7, 2008 | ,

Here's a story that combines a little six degrees of separation with a hint of networking. I was having dinner last night with my mom at Oriente on Ocean Drive. Across the street, near the beach, we noticed some giant tents set up - looked like some sort of party. But...

The Blacklist [Documentary]

May 6, 2008 |

If you need an example of a talking head doc, this is it. For an HBO film ((I did learn that it wasn't produced by HBO, only acquired prior to Sundance)), I was kind of let down, but later it made sense. The Blacklist is a series of interviews of some of the...

Week of Haircuts and Screenings

Apr 26, 2008 |

It's time to pull out the razor blades, get a trim, and make it look like you've taken care of yourself for the past 6 months. That's right, the parents are coming. Just about every guy has gone under the scissors, myself included. What's the occasion? The summation...

Forgetting the Audience (and Sarah Marshall)

Apr 18, 2008 |

I didn't think much about wanting to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but I keep seeing signs that maybe I should. Such as a 5-star review on the radio when I turn on the car, or Roeper's undying love for this movie plastered in a full page New York Times ad. So now I...
