Miller Chill

I was at the Nats game and, on a whim, decided to try a Milller Chill (my old man was buying, what the hell right?). It was….not great. Basically a Corona ripoff. Probably not going to have another one.

Summer Shandy

At our office pre-July 4th lunch party they had 10 month old Heineken (literally 10 months old, not an exageration) and this other beer called “Summer Shandy”, made by a brewery in Wisconsin, Leinenkugel. Naturally I went with the Summer Shandy and you know what? Its pretty damn good. Its actually a beer/lemonade combo and [...]

Superbad

Yeah “Superbad” isn’t out already. Yeah I’ve already seen it. What, thats how I roll cuz. Saw it two weeks ago with my boy The Cooler at a sneak preview in Georgetown. Let me state the obvious: its hysterical. There’s the bare minimum of plots but really, that’s not why you are going to want [...]

Rethinking the Waitress

I’ve been rethinking my opinion of the Waitress. I don’t think I gave the movie enough credit. To be sure, some of my original thoughts still hold, the movie could be (and should be) 30 minutes shorter. But it was funnier then I expressed. And Keri Russell did a pretty good job of acting (not [...]

The Waitress

Went and saw The Waitress Monday night with one of the sisters. I was some what indifferent about it (a little too long, some what cute, not a great ending) but then I went to check something on the IMDB and now I can’t really rip it. During the credits I thought I noticed that [...]

300: Awesome visuals, kinda gay

I failed to mention this when it happened but I saw the movie 300 at the Uptown Theater a while back. It was pretty good; I really enjoyed the whole presentation of the movie, if not necessarily the plot. Slow-motion, sound, visuals, all of it was great. Certainly it got me pumped up and ready [...]

Reign Over Me

Saw the new Don Cheadle/Adam Sandler movie last night, Reign Over Me. Wasn't half bad. Cheadle is, as expected, fairly great and Sandler does solid work. Its a pretty sad movie mixed in with some truly funny bits, certainly worth seeing. Two things that stood out though:
1) the music throughout the movie is pretty great [...]

Awful movie

On Sunday I was dragged against my will to see "Because I said so" the new movie starring Diane Keaton and Mandy Moore. It was, in a word, awful. And this is coming from someone who enjoys romantic comedies ("Love Actually is one of my favorites, "High Fidelity" is my favorite).
Diane Keaton overacts to a [...]

An Inconvenient Truth

I saw the Al Gore movie An Inconvenient Truth (here after referred to as AIT) a couple of nights ago. Certainly its an interesting movie and worth seeing, though it has been perhaps over-hyped (through no fault of Gore or the makers). It really is, for the most part, a combination of a long lecture/slide [...]
