I was lucky enough to get an opportunity to see Winnebago Man last weekend. I saw it as a presentation with the filmmakers by New York's Rooftop Films. It was a pretty unbeatable experience to watch a great movie on a New York City rooftop under a night sky… Continue reading
As I sit here sifting through mountains of fan mail and nude fan-portraits, I keep reading the same questions over and over: "Where's your Rescue Me blog?" "The show's been so great the past few weeks; haven't you been watching?" "Don't you want to finish… Continue reading
Wouldn't dream of drafting a proper review of Drag Me To Hell. On the other side of seeing it for the first time, all I'd want to report is that it's fantastic. Oh, did I love this movie. Go see it! Don't read about it. Go in blind, and go with the …… Continue reading
I'm only writing this because I know that he reads everything I write, particularly the stuff I post to the internet. We're cool like that. Today is the birthday of Clint Eastwood, American icon. "Icon" is a word that gets thrown around pretty loosely these… Continue reading
In retrospect, this wasn't an episode I should have been watching with my grandma. In the "A" storyline, Tommy and Janet take a road trip to Katy's exclusive boarding school, offending uptight honkies and destroying a bed-and-breakfast hotel room with crazy… Continue reading
I admit that I tend to wax ecstatic about Rescue Me in general, but if I'm making that concession, I'd also have to admit that I happen to be right most of the time. Tuesday the 12th's sixth episode of the fifth season, entitled "Perspective," bears me out… Continue reading
Sometimes movies like X-Men Origins: Wolverine make me sad, because they give me time to reflect on how all the money going into these huge-budget movies could have been spent on important things like medical research, or wildlife conservation, or food for… Continue reading
Here's the episode we've been waiting to see. Michael J. Fox is back. Sheila is back in her psychosexy glory. The heartbreak is back. The funny never left. You really need to be watching this show. Assuming I keep doing this for the full 22 episode season,… Continue reading
I don't get it. I mean, of course I get it. She's a beautiful girl. I'm a guy. I love beautiful girls. I do get it. What I don't get, and here goes the unpopular opinion, is all the male hysteria, all the near-unanimous talk that "Megan Fox is the hottest… Continue reading
Number 69 already? Wow. Sexy number. Calls for a sexy entry. Well, I watched Charley Varrick recently; does Walter Matthau fit the bill? Speaking seriously, there are many worse things a man could do for himself than concoct a Walter Matthau film festival.… Continue reading
A moment of praise for JetBlue, since on any other airline on a Tuesday night I'd have had The King Of Queens or some shitty McConaughey movie (pick one) foisted upon me. JetBlue gives me my own TV and allows me to make my own choices, and so naturally I… Continue reading
This most recent episode brought us one of the best comedic set-pieces in the history of Rescue Me. Which is saying plenty, since however else you'd want to argue its merits, this is one of the more consistently funny shows ever. Even against those elevated… Continue reading
