Restaurant Review – Prime Steakhouse at the Casino Queen

Posted: August 25, 2009 at 9:00 pm   /   Local, Restaurant Reviews

What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happened at the Casino Queen, well I’ve just gotta tell you!  You may have heard the Casino Queen is Home of the Loosest Slots (not so much in my case, but good thing I only spent $1), but they are also home to a very tasty and […]

Streetballers

Posted: August 22, 2009 at 1:05 am   /   Local, Movie Reviews

A local St. Louis production, Streetballers is a great film that really gives me hope that the St. Louis film landscape can produce just as good of films as other more film centric areas of the country like LA and New York. Streetballers follows John (writer and director Matthew Scott Krentz) a college student who […]

Shorts

Posted: August 21, 2009 at 8:37 am   /   Local, Movie Reviews

The starts of this movie are, as you can tell in the title, a bunch of “shorts.” With this film, Robert Rodriguez has made the kids version of his buddy Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction.” Shorts made the process more technical with fast forward, rewind, and pause buttons. The back and forth cutting doesn’t change the […]

This little spin on a love story is anchored by a fantastic turn by Hugh Dancy, but is marred by a bit of clichéd, contrived, and predictable subplot that makes a film that should stand out seem dull and ordinary too often. Adam has Aspergers and his father has just died and while he has […]

Inglourious Basterds

Posted: August 20, 2009 at 7:00 pm   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

Quentin Tarantino’s latest is the long in development WWII epic that is not really a war film but a dialogue heavy affair like all of Tarantino’s work and the result is slow burn plot that builds amazing tension through fantastic characters all culminating in an explosive final act that could potentially re-write WWII history. Split […]

Posted: August 18, 2009 at 12:09 am   /   Local, Television Reviews

The third season of Mad Men began last night and the results were just what we want from a series premiere in the middle of the show’s run. (Spoilers here in for the episode) I will say I find it rather interesting that the show reset some of the characters back their more original selves […]
