Kramer vs. Kramer September 13, 2007

Personally, I’ve long obsessed over how I want to screen films released on my birth year. I guess doing so offers me a chance to peek at how society functioned at a time when I still wasn’t a part of it. Actually, I’d like to think of it as a glorified history lesson [...]

D-Day September 12, 2007

Much attention has been devoted to the head to head face-off between Kanye West and 50 Cent. Being the biggest names in hip hop today, whoever outsells the other as they simultaneously release their new albums on 9/11 will unofficially be crowned the new king of hip hop. 50 Cent even went on record as [...]

Kevin Drew … September 11, 2007

I’m still quite unsure on who to credit the album “Spirit If…” to. Billed as “Broken Social Scene Presents: Kevin Drew,” press releases label this as Kevin Drew’s first solo effort. However, since most tracks are backed by members of Broken Social Scene, it also makes sense to attribute this as Broken Social Scene’s next [...]

Interview September 9, 2007

If not for me loving every Steve Buscemi character (Mr Pink in Reservoir Dogs, Garland Greene in Con Air, the tourist in Paris Je T’aime’s Tuileries and side kick to tons of Adam Sandler flicks), it would probably have been easy for me to hate Interview.
The movie stars Buscemi as Pierre Peders, a political [...]

“If you build it, he will come” September 8, 2007

Funny, I initially thought that that quote was originally from Wayne’s World 2, but found out much later that it actually was, in fact, a parody of Field of Dreams.
I think I can best describe Field of Dreams as the quintessential example of a guy’s chick flick. A person refusing to live in regret, and [...]

Haircut September 3, 2007

Haircuts aren’t supposed to be melodramatic. At least, normally, it shouldn’t be.
But from time to time, I do find me wanting to surprise myself. Like going bald just for the hell of it. Or telling the stylist to make my hair short and go crazy.
And then, that’s the time I get emotional.
More than the [...]

Beatle Musings #2 September 1, 2007

Many times I’ve been alone
And many times I’ve cried
Any way you’ll never know
The many ways I’ve tried.
- “The Long and Winding Road” by the Beatles
