Wayback Wednesday – “The Lion King”
Wayback might be a bit of a misnomer in this case. I mean only to refer to films that I loved when I was child, which to be honest wasn’t all that long ago. I watch certain films these days, and wonder how kids could like them. Then I look back on my past, and […]
Lost: Season 6 – Episode 6.6 “Sundown” – Review
So, the Castaways have left the temple! Sundown, the sixth episode of LOST’s final season, follows Sayid both on and off the Island and MIB/Flocke has made a huge play that has reshuffled the season for the run up to the end. We will start off the island in the sideways world as usual with […]

Bruce Willis (as Jimmy) and Tracy Morgan (as Paul) are police officers and partners.

The Crazies
I walked into the theater for The Crazies saying, “Oh here we go, yet another stupid horror remake.” I then remember thinking to myself while about halfway through the film, “Is this thing scaring me? Am I actually having a good time?” The Crazies is one of the few horror movies over the past year […]
Cop Out
Kevin Smith’s latest is his weakest, this is coming from a fan of his, and while it has some solid laughs and moments through out, the filmmaking is sloppy and uneven while the acting seems to through the motions at times. The film follows a pair of detectives, Jimmy and Paul, who have been together […]
Lost: Seaon 6 – Episode 6.5 – The Lighthouse – Review
The Lighthouse, episode 5 of the final season of Lost was not up to par with last week but it was another affective sideways story, this time for Jack, and put a lot of pieces in place for next week, and the season, where it looks like things might finally get a little crazy. First […]

Restaurant Review – Cyrano’s Cafe
When I ate at Cyrano’s Cafe for lunch it was definitely a change from my usually turkey, cheese and crackers. The menu is full of snazzy dining options, including various dishes with crab, lobster or shrimp. You would think a visit here may break the bank, but it’s actually quite reasonable, with prices ranging from […]
Shutter Island – Movie Review
Set in 1954, U.S. Marshall Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) is investigating the mysterious escape of a female inmate from Ashecliffe Hospital, a prison/asylum for the criminally insane. Her sudden disappearance from a locked and guarded cell is made all the more perplexing by the fact that the prison is located on Shutter Island, a remote […]
Shutter Island
Martin Scorsese’s adaptation of the Dennis Lehane novel “Shutter Island” is a successful mystery thriller, with a great lead turn by Leonardo DiCaprio and a plot that brings some originality to a potentially tired idea. DiCaprio plays Teddy Daniels, a U.S. Marshall sent to Shutter Island to investigate the disappearance of one of the inmates […]
