So Zombies, Run! Season 2 dropped this week. If you haven’t read my initial review of the fitness/running app for your smartphone, you can do so by clicking here. Go ahead. We’ll wait… OK are they gone? Good. Let’s go on without them. Anyway, so I was initially a huge fan of Zombies, Run! when…
Rating: 9 / 10 Alan Parker’s delightful The Commitments, based on the first book in a trilogy by author Roddy Doyle, is a remarkable movie, easily one of the best films of 1991. There reasons why this simple little tale — detailing the rise and fall of a Dublin soul band — manages to endear…
I’ve walked Boylston street too many times to recall. Between the ages of 17 through 21, I lived, loved, studied, discovered, and utterly evolved in a city that felt like some vibrant Hellenic slice of America. My time in Boston helped shape me in ways I’m still discovering. The pain sweeping through Beantown right now…

Even at a young age, I began to recognize the massively awesome appeal of doe-eyed, curvy brunettes, one which has stayed with me until this very day. I mean honestly, was there ever a prettier actress than Annette in Babes…

So last weekend we traveled up to Washington, DC for the Rock ‘n’ Roll USA Marathon event. This race was of particular interest to me for a variety of reasons. First off, it was a trip to Washington for a few days, and I hadn’t been to Washington as a tourist or for non-business reasons…
So Boots and I loaded up the family truckster last Saturday and made the drive up to Orlando. Our rationale for going up there was the “free” Micky Dolenz concert at EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival. I say “free” in “quotes” because if you “factor in” gas, tolls, hotels, and our Annual Passholder payments we…
Banded together from remote galaxies are twenty-two of the most sinister obstacles of all time: the Obstacles of Doom… featuring such fiendish hell-spawned blackguards as Devil’s Beard, Electric Eel, Fire Walker, Glory Blades, and the dastardly-dreaded Berlin Walls. Dedicated to a single objective: the conquest of the universe!!! Only one group dares to challenge this intergalactic threat…
