The Air I Breathe aka Fragmentos del destino (2007) – four short stories that come together in the end. with an all star cast I’d expect better, but I found this film to be a major disappointment. It’s drab, depressing and pointless. Not worth your time. Beauty Shop (2005) – Queen Latifah (Oscar nominee for Chicago [...]

After Sunset: The Life & Times of the Drive-In Theater (1995) – bit of a low budget documentary on the fading glory of the drive-in theater told by Jon Bokenkamp as he recounts a road trip taken with three college friends. I got quite a kick outta this for two reasons. First, I love drive-in [...]

A year from now my life will be completely different than it is at this moment. Or will it? I will be a new me, in a new house. Or will I? Will altering my exterior cause changes to me internally? Will I become fulfilled? Is that possible? I’ve started a new journey; several actually. And sometimes [...]

The last guy I had sex with was born a year before I graduated from high school. Shit like that scares me. To feel age and time advancing at such a rate. So I act impulsively and do silly things. Like get fired for flashing my bra at work. I was told today that maybe [...]

The great American… website?

Everyone wants it, but in this cyber sea of perpetually changing opinions, it can be as elusive and unpredictable as Ahab’s whale. “Call me Ishmael.” As of late I’ve been asked to assist my step-father in creating a website for his new business; custom rods and tackle. A subject I know little, if anything, about. The [...]

Californication as a reminisce of my early 30’s

vrtualme — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 11:02:52 +0000

Fucking anyone of interest to me without regard for the morning. Cherishing each moment in the extreme. Following my own stringent code of right and wrong; that may not be shared, but could at least be appreciated by others. Writing. And living. As I’ve recently passed into a new decade I’ve noticed much of this is [...]

See part 1 here. The Acid House aka The Granton Star Cause (1998) – based on the book of the same name by Irvine Welsh (a favorite writer of mine), this is as expected not as good as the book itself. It’s comprised of three short stories taking place in the ghettos of Scotland. And though [...]

This year I’ve a goal and a plan for movie watching. My goal is to watch at least 365 movies within 2009. My plan to help accomplish this is to run through the alphabet. First I must watch a movie that starts with the letter “a”, then one that starts with the letter “b” and [...]
