Restaurant Review – Sage

Posted: November 10, 2009 at 4:54 pm   /   Local, Restaurant Reviews

I love Soulard.  You’ve got your typical bars and pubs, a lot of great events and parades and a Farmer’s Market full of great finds.  But, if you’re only familiar with the alcohol and the market fresh food, you’re missing out on the many restaurants hiding throughout the area, including Sage. Sage was a great […]

Restaurant Review – Ice Kitchen

Posted: October 18, 2009 at 10:13 am   /   Local, Restaurant Reviews

Westport’s Ice Kitchen is brought to you by the owners of the Drunken Fish.  Ice Kitchen is considered a tapas bar.  Tapas are just a fancy Spanish word for an appetizer/snack portion.  Usually with tapas you pay an arm and a leg for a serving too small to fill you up.  Unfortunately, I don’t know […]

PANDORUM Directed by: Christian Alvart Starring: Dennis Quaid, Ben Foster, and Cam Gigandet First, let me say that I went into this movie expecting very little due to the sheer amount of movies that I have seen involving drifting space ships where something goes very wrong. However, this one was slightly different. Pandorum is loosely […]

Restaurant Review – Square One Brewery

Posted: September 23, 2009 at 6:46 pm   /   Local, Restaurant Reviews

St. Louis is home to many breweries, all brewing their own recipes of beer.  You may love ’em or you may hate ’em, or maybe you’re just indifferent.  That’s how I felt about Square One Brewery, indifferent.  I started with the Spicy Blonde, a pretty good Belgian ale spiced with ginger & lemongrass.  My second […]

Sorority Row

Posted: September 11, 2009 at 1:51 pm   /   Local, Movie Reviews

I went into this film with an open mind, as I had seen the preview and was left with the opinion that I was going to see a remake of “I know what you did last summer.” The verdict? Unfortunately this movie does not merit a ticket purchase by anyone other than teenage boys looking […]

Restaurant Review – Prime Steakhouse at the Casino Queen

Posted: August 25, 2009 at 9:00 pm   /   Local, Restaurant Reviews

What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happened at the Casino Queen, well I’ve just gotta tell you!  You may have heard the Casino Queen is Home of the Loosest Slots (not so much in my case, but good thing I only spent $1), but they are also home to a very tasty and […]
