Date Night

Posted: April 9, 2010 at 12:01 am   /   Film, Local, Movie Reviews

“Date Night,” Starring NBC prime-time superstars Steve Carell and Tina Fey is a case of mistaken identity – not only for it’s characters, but for the audience as well. Although full of jokes, and a great comedic cast, there are times that make you wonder about some of the choices. Phil (Steve Carell) and Claire […]

Restaurant Review – Pi Pizzeria

Posted: April 2, 2010 at 12:28 pm   /   Local, Restaurant Reviews

When the moon hits your eye like a big-a pizza Pi, that’s 3.14159 26535 89793 23846 26433 83279 50288.  Or, it’s cheesy deliciousness and you should probably wipe it off your face and eat it.  All I knew about Pi going in was that it is apparently so good, President Obama himself invited the owner […]

Roger Qbert Reviews CLASH OF THE TITANS (2010)

Posted: April 2, 2010 at 5:17 am   /   Local, Tom O'Keefe Movie Reviews

The original Clash of the Titans is perhaps best-known as (with my apologies to Harry Hamlin’s abs) the last major work of the master of stop-motion animation Ray Harryhausen. Harryhausen, though still very much alive, found his services no longer required after the advent of CGI and the rise Industrial Light & Magic. He began […]

Clash of the Titans

Posted: April 2, 2010 at 12:05 am   /   Local, Movie Reviews

Clash of the Titans is a an unoriginal, pretty dumb, sword and sandals epic that looks great, has solid action and effects, with some superb art design/production values and the result is an entertaining and fun flick that I enjoyed even when I was chuckling at the cheesiness. Perseus is the son of Zeus, his […]

Restaurant Review – Boogaloo

Posted: March 30, 2010 at 8:44 am   /   Local, Restaurant Reviews

Located in Maplewood near the Jive n Wail, Boogaloo tries to bring  a bit of the Caribbean to the St. Louis area.  Words like Jamaican jerk, creole, mango, Cuban and more fill the menu.  But, you don’t go to Boogaloo for their menu.  I don’t even think you go there for their daily happy hours (Mon-Thurs […]

How to Train Your Dragon – Movie Review

Posted: March 26, 2010 at 12:19 am   /   Local, Tom O'Keefe Movie Reviews

It only sounds like euphemism for *ahem* “self-pleasure.” In fact, How to Train Your Dragon is a surprisingly enjoyable lark of a film. Jay Baruchel voices Hiccup, the frail son of Viking leader Stoick (Gerard Butler). Their village is a comically cruel place cursed with constantly coarse weather conditions and frequent dragon attacks. In fact, […]

Hot Tub Time Machine – Movie Review

Posted: March 26, 2010 at 12:15 am   /   Local, Tom O'Keefe Movie Reviews

Hot Tub Time Machine. If those four words didn’t make you giggle then feel free to stop reading. There’s nothing for you to see here. Clearly a movie with a title like that won’t be scooping up any Oscars this time next year. Conversely, it’s a pretty safe bet that all parties concerned know that. […]
