Tuffy P and I trundled off to see The Adjustment Bureau the other day. It stars Matt Damon and I thought that was promising since I enjoyed the Bourne series of films. It’s apparently loosely based on a Philip K. Dick short story which I… Read More
I didn’t see Pirate Radio when it was on the big screen, but enjoyed watching it with Tuffy P tonight on DVD. It’s an enjoyable romp with a good mid-60s soundtrack, set on a pirate radio ship off the British coast in the 1960s. It’s… Read More
Tuffy P brought this one home from the video store. It’s an HBO production starring Jeff Bridges and a dog. Has to be good, right? Well, let’s say it was OK as far as it went. It was kind of like a pilot for a… Read More
We watched the Ben Affleck film The Town tonight on DVD. It’s a very good heist movie, well acted, directed and written, and well paced too. This one is an excellent renter. Crack open a cold beer and a can of anchovies and enjoy.

Unstoppable is a film I can describe to you in a single sentence and be assured you understand everything you need to know about it. Here goes: There’s a runaway train and Denzel Washington has to stop it. Still, I really enjoyed this one. Why?… Read More
We all like rags to riches stories, but this film is more of a socially empty but brilliant student at an exclusive American University to riches story. I couldn’t help but be fascinated at the way the Zuckerberg character nailed a structure which could attract… Read More
Tuffy P turned on the television last night to discover that the Christopher Guest 2000 “mocumentary” Best in Show was on. The film is set up as a documentary featuring five dogs and their owners competing in a dog show. That’s all you need to… Read More
