Steve Kelley Reviews “Cedar Rapids,” Writes Title in Third Person
No matter where we go, we always tend to remember where we come from. This is perhaps the point of Cedar Rapids that director Miguel Artesta tries to drive home. Well, it’s either that or you can learn what you need to know from the prostitute that sets up shop near the hotel you’re staying […]
Thoughts on Pujols
By now, everyone is probably aware of the fact that the deadline to re-sign Albert Pujols has passed. What does this mean, exactly? Pujols has repeatedly said he will not negotiate during the course of the regular season and playoffs to avoid carrying distractions onto the field. If the Cardinals do not make the playoffs […]
Steve Kelley Reviews “No Strings Attached”
“There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” This line really has nothing to do with the plot or message of the film. I was just pleasantly surprised they used one of my favorite Albert Einstein quotes in […]
The Blues at Midpoint
Okay, technically the Blues have played 39 games so far, so it’s not midpoint. Leave me alone; I’m temporarily brain-damaged [more on that later]. But it’s close enough. Thus far, the Blues sit in ninth place with a 20-13-6 record and 46 points, but they also have played four fewer games than the eighth-place team. […]
StL Sports Roundup
Missouri Tigers – Gabbert Declares In a move that shouldn’t really have surprised any Mizzou fans,quarterback Blaine Gabbert declared himself eligible for the 2011 draft. Gabbert’s junior season was better in some categories than 2009, but worse in others. He improved his completion percentage by 4.5 points, from 58.9 to 63.4% and he also ran […]
The Rams – Looking Back and Ahead
Well, if last night didn’t lead to an increase in blood pressure medicine being prescribed, nothing will. But, hindsight’s 20/20, and overall 2010 can’t be considered anything less than a massive success for the Rams. I’m gonna look back at last night’s game, the season overall, and look ahead at 2011 and beyond. Last Night […]
The Year in Sports
For most St. Louisans, 2010 wasn’t exactly a super memorable year in sports. None of the big teams won a championship, few players had standout years, and many of the teams in general were disappointing given pre-season expectations. Still, there were moments to remember. I’ll look back on the year in general for local sports […]
After Disappointing Stint with New York Yankees, Lance Berkman Signs With Cardinals For $8 million
As my good friend Chris pointed out last night, the Cardinals apparently appear poised to try to rejuvenate everyone’s career. Fresh off a disappointing stint with the New York Yankees, Lance Berkman has signed a one year deal with the Cardinals worth $8 million. Berkman’s been a pain in the ass for the Cardinals for […]
Faster
“We create our heaven and hell.” Perhaps the most sagacious words ever uttered by a heroin addict shooting up in her bathroom. Much like her, anyone who goes and sees “Faster” will create their own heaven and hell, depending on whether they watch the entire movie. I’m a guy. I like action movies. I’ll relentlessly […]
Love & Other Drugs
One of the reasons I quit my six-figure salaried job on Wall Street was because I could get unlimited movie passes and an even more exorbitant salary. But really, it was for the love of the movies I’d get to see. Clearly, one of the films I had in mind was Love & Other Drugs. […]
