Abusing My Television

by in Everyday Nonsense | 2,617 views | Reading Time 3:02

It’s not what you think… I don’t watch too much television. Sure, I watch my fair share of it, but for the most part, I’m watching movies or have it on for background noise. I’ll pop on a sporting event and let it run just in case something exciting happens. Other times, I have it […]

The Drama Comedy

by in Everyday Nonsense | 2,211 views | Reading Time 2:26

Over the weekend, my wife and I rented a movie that was tabbed as a “Drama Comedy.” Initially, I thought, “How can that even be a genre?” The words are theoretically at odds with each other. Drama usually provides us sad, insightful, human interest stories while comedy gives us laughs and light hearted moments. How […]

Inspired Fiction

I get excited when I see a new movie released which was “inspired by true events” or “based on a true story.” Something about real life turned into a cinematic experience draws me to these movies. Watching a movie based upon or inspired by actual events allows for a certain amount of vicarious living through […]

The Today Nonsense

by in Television Ramblings | 2,286 views | Reading Time 2:48

I admit I regularly watch “The Today Show” on NBC each morning because when compared to its competition, it is a better avenue for “entertainment news.” Quite a while back, I wrote a story explaining my loathsome view of their additional “fourth hour” which included bringing back Kathie Lee Gifford to the television screen on […]

Subliminal Motivators

Can advertising make you do things? Can you make people think and do things by simple body language? Two simple questions and initially you may think the answer is no. You may think you are aware of advertising and the associated implicit goals, therefore you are making up your own mind whether to purchase a […]

Meet Bill: Work Sucks

by in Movie Reviews | 2,855 views | Reading Time 5:20

Recently, a new movie came out on DVD called “Meet Bill.” It was an odd movie to say the least. It featured a mentor, Bill, in the middle of some very precarious life situations. Bill becomes a little unglued and during this time, he happens to be signed up to be part of a mentoring […]

If you happened to read through some of my past movie reviews, you may have noticed I rent movies from a local RedBox. What exactly is the RedBox? The RedBox is a DVD kiosk placed in a wide variety of locations throughout the United States allowing customers to rent newly released movies for one night […]

It’s movie review time. Tonight, my wife and I watched “Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins.” It was a fairly entertaining movie with quite a few “laugh out loud” moments. I was happy with the time spent (2 hours) because it only cost me $1.08 to rent from the local McDonald’s RedBox. If I haven’t mentioned it […]

Bucket List

by in Movie Reviews | 2,476 views | Reading Time 4:40

I’ve watched several movies since my last review, but none of them intrigued me enough to write an article about them. However, as the article title implies, The Bucket List gave me something worthwhile to write about. As always, I will not give any spoilers or ruin the film experience for anyone who may not […]
