Restaurant Review – Robust Wine Bar

Posted: June 7, 2010 at 11:45 am   /   Local, Restaurant Reviews

Now, I’ve been to my fair share of bars in St. Louis over the years – Martini Bars, Chocolate Bars, Hole-in-the-Wall Bars, College Bars and more…but Robust Wine Bar was my first wine specific bar.  And how did I stumble upon this Webster Groves award winning bar?  Groupon.com, of course (If you haven’t noticed…start buying Groupons)! This […]

Killers

Posted: June 4, 2010 at 4:07 pm   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

Katherine Heigl shooting blanks again in her latest romantic comedy ‘KILLERS’, only this time she is dragging down Ashton Kutcher with her. I guess it was obvious when Heigl left television we would see more of her on the big screen. She teams again with director Robert Luketic (The Ugly Truth) on a 2010 version […]

If I was to tell you that there was a new film with Owen Wilson, Fergie, William H. Macy, George Lopez Keifer Sutherland and Emma Stone in it you would be in line to buy tickets by now. That is until I tell you the only one acting is Macy. Tom Dey who last worked […]

Roger Qbert Reviews “Get Him To The Greek”

Posted: June 4, 2010 at 9:38 am   /   Local, Tom O'Keefe Movie Reviews

In Get Him to the Greek, Russell Brand reprises the character of Aldous Snow from 2008’s Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The film isn’t a sequel so much as it is a spin-off. Jonah Hill is also back only this time he’s playing a different character entirely in the visage of Aaron Green, a mild-mannered low-level record […]

Get Him To The Greek

Posted: June 4, 2010 at 12:05 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

“Get Him To The Greek” is a spin-off, if you will, of 2008’s “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” written by and starring Jason Segel. In that movie, British comedian Russell Brand played a foul-mouthed rock n’ roller named Aldous Snow. And we loved him for the role. So director Nicholas Stoller has returned to bring us a […]

Splice

Posted: June 4, 2010 at 12:03 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

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 […]

Restaurant Review – Broadway Oyster Bar

Posted: June 3, 2010 at 3:18 pm   /   Local, Restaurant Reviews

I originally decided to visit the Broadway Oyster Bar after purchasing an awesome Groupon from Groupon.com for the restaurant.  I am NOT an oyster fan.  I’ve tried them numerous times throughout my life and have never once liked them.  If anything, I’ve been peer-pressured into eating them and those doing the pressuring haven’t liked them […]

Alexx Calise – In Avanti

Posted: June 1, 2010 at 7:55 am   /   CD Reviews, Local

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 […]

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

Posted: May 28, 2010 at 1:01 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

I went into the theater skeptical of yet another video game movie.  Not helping my skepticism was that Jake Gyllenhaal was playing the lead in an action film.  To my surprise, Gyllenhaal was not the problem.  In fact, I have to say the whole cast did quite well with the flimsy storyline. Prince of Persia: […]
