Badder Meinhof Complex…

I checked out The Badder Meinhof Complex tonight.  I read an interesting review in a commie rag and thought it might be interesting.  A few impressions…the woman playing Meinhof looked like a very attractive German Tina Fey, which is fine by me.  In fact, most of the cast is very nice to look at.  The [...]

The Long Good Friday

If you know me, you know that if Morrissey mentions something, even in passing, I’ll most likely look it up.  That’s what happened with The Long Good Friday.  This is the statement in which our boy Mozza drops a mention of the film in question if you are interested… http://true-to-you.net/morrissey_news_071203_02

the economics of zombification

I love my friends…even when they drastically change the landscape of my daily life.  And they do. 
I’m not much of a horror film fan.  I do enjoy cinema, and I like to see the so-called classics in all genres, but the whole horror thing kind of passed me by when I was a kid.  Many [...]
