I decided to go ahead with the e-zine version of The Stop Button for one very simple reason. I liked the way they look in Apple’s iOS Books app. The fake spine. Looks neat. Delicious Library guy no doubt. But going through the first year of posts again something struck...   read more

It’s my second Summing Up post in as many days, which is because I got behind over the weekend. Unfortunately, even though I’ve fiddled around with something, I’m not entirely sure it’ll be something I stick with. I don’t read eBooks. I mean, I do read eBooks, but only when...   read more

There may be a pseudo-sly Speed reference in The Lake House, which reunites stars Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves, but it’s a spoiler. Unfortunately it is not Bullock’s Speed 2 co-star Jason Patric as her wet towel boyfriend (Patric infamously replaced Reeves in the sequel). Instead, Dylan Wa   read more

Amazing being subjective. And not even all of it. Not all of the new amazing is mine alone. But things are finally decided. So now for scheduling them. I’m finally committing to a TV blog, albeit one with numerous caveats. It won’t be anything as it airs, not to get...   read more

Eleanor Parker did not win any Academy Awards, which is simultaneously obvious and inexplicable. The latter because she obviously deserved one (or six), the former because if she had won any, she’d have been better known in the eighties and nineties, when home video and basic cable drove classic fi   read more

I went into 2019 planning on reading at least a book a week. Six or seven weeks in and I’ve only gotten one book done. I listened to it too, didn’t actually read it. I brought a book with me to read during my lunch break but instead I’m writing...   read more

Right until the action-packed finale of The Mighty Quinn, there’s nothing the film can do lead Denzel Washington’s charm can’t forgive.
