Splice
Every now and then, there comes along a movie so radical, so brilliant it creates a paradigm shift in the thought process of how a film should be made. And every now and then, there comes along a movie that nearly makes me weep for the sake of humanity. Hello, Splice. Now, I am a […]
Baseball Thoughts
There are two major issues I want to address, neither of them relating to the Cardinals. I am, however, a man of the people, so I will address the nice little series win the Cardinals wrapped up last night. Chris Carpenter once again pitched a terrific game, going eight strong innings and giving up just […]
Halcyon Days
I hope you folks are enjoying this stretch of Cardinals baseball. For the first two months of the season, the pitching carried the team while the defense and offense sorta straggled along. I said at the beginning of the season, if we can get the lineup going, we’ll have one of the best in baseball. […]
Alexx Calise – In Avanti
As I returned to work Friday afternoon after picking up my corporate lunch at McDonald’s, I opened my e-mail to find an album awaiting me from a young lady named Alexx Calise. I read over the e-mail to make sure it was from an actual person and not the usual shady spam mail on how […]
Beyond His Years – P.J. Walters and STL Cardinals
Few men have to go through what P.J. Walters has gone through the last five months. Even fewer have had to do it at the age of 25. This past winter, P.J. and his wife had their first child, Annabelle, born approximately 14 weeks prematurely. As expected, she faced several health problems from the outset […]
Firing Blanks – St. Lous Cardinals Baseball
I guess I spoke too soon about the Cardinals offense being revived. Fresh off a series that saw the Cardinals score 22 runs against one of the better teams in the American League, the Cardinals have managed a total of one run in two games against San Diego, one of the best pitching teams in […]
Framing Hanley – A Promise to Burn (CD Review)
Too often nowadays, it seems like a new album release from a favorite band is a bit like a date with me. The early promises sound terrific, and it seems like it has the potential to be something special, but you quickly discover underneath all the eye candy, there’s not much depth. After a while, […]
Role Reversal – St. Louis Cardinals Baseball
Well, after the Cardinals hit the first official rough patch of the season, they managed to rebound nicely and go 5-2 this last week, taking both games from the Nationals, splitting with the Marlins, and ganking two out of three with the Angels. Hopefully you especially enjoyed the series against the Angels, as they’re often […]
The Four Hole and Other Cardinals Thoughts
So far, the Cardinals are 3-1 in games in which Matt Holliday’s batted third and Albert Pujols fourth. While it’s good that they’ve gotten the wins, I still question whether it’s the right move. I get paid a ridiculous amount of money to write this column, so I’ll put in my two cents. The general […]
MacGruber
I wasn’t too sure what to expect from MacGruber, to be honest. The skits on SNL were funny, but I couldn’t imagine how they’d turn that into a feature-length film. Additionally, I was already reeling from the news that Megan Fox, the Audrey Hepburn of our day, will no longer be in Transformers 3. Mock […]
