A very good cast and a bunch of catchy dialogue have nowhere to go. That’s the problem with Iron Man 2. To top that off, I don’t believe they ever found the “burd”.

05/31/2010She’s Out Of My League (2010) – Movie Review
05/31/2010Yes she is, which is why this under 20 targeted movie is surprisingly entertaining. The slightly dysfunctional characters combined with this variation of a “fish out of water” movie, has a surprising amount of laughs packed into it as long as you are in your teens or can still remember when you were in your teens. If neither of these is true, or you believe you were never like this while you were growing up, stay home.
Baked Mostaccioli – Not St. Louis Style
05/29/2010Having been raised outside of St. Louis, I had never heard of, much less tasted, Mostaccioli. Having first experienced Mostaccioli in St. Louis, I thought it was something someone made up because it was quick and cheap and assumed it was totally unrelated to any real Italian recipe or product. Since then, Al Gore invented the internet and Wikipedia can now educate me that Mostaccioli is simply penne pasta. However, in St. Louis, Mostaccioli is anything but that.

Lasagna with – Trader Joe’s Tomato Basil Marinara Sauce
05/29/2010This was something of an experiment and another chance to pop open a bottle of wine. While walking the Trader Joe’s isles, I noticed a section of spaghetti sauces. Since the price was only a little more than the cost of ingredients for my home-made marinara sauce, I decided to put Trader Joe’s to the test. In a nutshell, it worked pretty well, but is probably better used for a quick pasta sauce than for using in lasagna.
Shutter Island (2010) – Movie Review
04/10/2010U.S. Marshall Leonardo DiCaprio, troubled from his experiences during World War II and the death of his wife, finds himself in the last place he needs to be, a mental institution for the violently criminal insane investigating the disappearance of a patient who killed her three children. To say, they don’t make them like this anymore, would be an understatement. This is among the best of its genre ever made. Read the rest of this entry »
Cat People (1982) – Movie Review
03/27/2010This is an eqally strange variation of the 1942 strange movie of the same name, with many actors you’ll recognize when they were much younger. Overall this is a good movie. You might want to go to IMDB or some other source of movie information to read a synopsis either before or after viewing the movie. The movie explains the one thing you’ll need to know about 3/4 of the way through the movie, but you’ll have to pay close attention. Up until then, you’ll need to be a really good movie fan to understand everything that’s happening. But, in the end, that anticipation of finding out how and where the story is going, is why we watch the movie in the first place. We won’t give away the story here.
Julie and Julia (2009) – Movie Review
03/21/2010Cute as a button Amy Adams (playing real life Julie Powell) finds the freest of spirits Julia Child (played by Meryl Streep) through a cooking book, with a suprising amount of very tasteful sex thrown in. Would you expect anything but very tasteful sex in a movie about cooking?
Alice In Wonderland 3D (2010) – Tim Burton
03/14/2010Take fantasy master Tim Burton, add in a classic fantasy story, and what do you have? A fairly average movie. Not average by normal movie standards, but average compared to our expectations. We expect something unique from Tim Burton every time, but this time we find what seems to be a collection of recycled characters and ideas, down to the music.
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon – movie review
02/10/2010Every culture has its Wild West. The good guys, the bad guys, gunslingers, peacemakers, those somewhere in the middle, vast unspoiled expanses of nature and love stories that will never be. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is China’s Wild West movie, but in a way that’s never been done here or there. This puts it on my list of 10 best all-time movies.
