Well, now that I have your attention with “Free Beer”… In addition to being a sports editor, film critic, and male underwear model (one of those things may be false), I’m also the volunteer coordinator for some of the larger beer festivals around St. Louis. If you attended Microfest in Forest Park last month, you […]
I’ve never been to Disney. Certainly it wasn’t for my lack of want. After hearing all my friends rave about how awesome their trips to Disney World or Land were, I wanted to go just once. My parents would have none of it, though. They thought, if you want to go to a theme park, […]
I’ll admit I have a bit of a soft spot for the Men in Black franchise. When the first film came out, Will Smith was still a huge asset in Hollywood (not that he isn’t now), and he was clearly a headliner for summer blockbusters. Cue summer of 1997, the summer before I entered eighth grade […]
Ask a dozen baseball experts who will win the World Series and who will win all the major awards, and there’s a good chance you’ll get a dozen different answers. There’s also a good chance you’ll get a dozen wrong answers. No matter how much you know about the game, it’s just about impossible to […]
Sometimes, you have to lower your standards in order to enjoy something. A date with me, for example. When it comes to films like Battleship, you know that it won’t be earning any awards for quality, other than perhaps best visual effects. Still, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it. I’ll admit, I (as well […]
NOTE: If you’re a parent or soon-to-be parent who’s expecting to get some laughs at the experiences you went through, you might as well skip this review and consider it a B+. Otherwise, read on at your own risk. As someone who has a working knowledge of science, I couldn’t be more opposed to […]
Just as quickly as a team can get hot, the tables can turn that quickly against them. Just after the Cardinals put together their finest series of the season against the D-Backs, they came home and got steamrolled by the Atlanta Braves. The offense wasn’t terrible (although their runs per game average did drop a […]
If you’re not excited about Cardinals baseball by now, I dunno what to tell ya. This team is good. When Pujols departed for LA (or is it Anaheim? Whatever.), I kinda figured the team would take a bit of a hit on offense. Even with the signing of Carlos Beltran, there’s no way the team […]
Thank you, movie gods. If The Lucky One was my purgatory, The Avengers was my reward for my patience. By now, after the first five films set in the Marvel universe, it’s probably fair to say the fanbase has been whipped into a frenzy for this film. Each of the Avengers has had his own film (Iron Man’s […]
It’s not easy being a Blues fan. Being in St. Louis, the team will always play a second fiddle to the town’s one true love, beer the Cardinals. The last decade hasn’t really been the most inspiring, either, as the Blues managed to go from a perennial playoff team (25 consecutive berths from 1980 to […]
