A Goodby That Was Pretty Long
I once found Dashell Hammett’s Maltese Falcon in a used book store for a quarter. It was an old paperback, apparently printed to be distributed to soldiers during World War II. It was a thin book and I read it … Continue reading

What I Learned from 2014
Or at least, 3 movies that I watched in 2014. Honestly, this is all that I’ve got for the whole year. In Your Eyes was written by Joss Whedon in 1992, but filmed in 2014. He paid for it, but … Continue reading

Paul Williams 1, Harry Nilsson 0++?
It’s called Paul Williams Still Alive. It’s by the director of Vegas Vacation. And apparently he’s done lots of commercials. Or so he says. Do you remember Paul Williams? Because he was in like everything back in the 70’s and 80’s … Continue reading

John Dies Full of Spiders
While my wife was away one recent week, I started watching all the scary movies that she doesn’t like to see. I gave up on Tucker & Dale vs. Evil. It just didn’t grab me like I’d hoped. I almost … Continue reading

America’s Best Idea?
Those Ken Burns documentaries are just so darned educational. And pretty entertaining too. But I never sat down and just watched one in its entirety. Sure, I’ve seen some of The Civil War, and some Jazz. Uh, I must have seen … Continue reading

There’s NO “L” in Christmas
My wife loves to watch holiday-specific movies. Depending on the holiday, of course. Recently she made me sit down to watch Noel. It’s from 2004 and I’d never heard of it despite it starring Susan Sarandon, Penelope Cruz, Alan Arkin, … Continue reading
Of All the Dr. Bronners I Have Known
My dad’s been dead for over seven years now. But strangers still come up to me, telling me what a great man he was. Greatness is like that. Failings are more intimate. My brother curses our dad every time I … Continue reading
Slung Blood
My wife has been trying to get me to watch Sling Blade for forever. I kept abstaining. It wasn’t for me. I don’t really like Billy Bob. Etc. La-di-dah… Wrong again Lyle. Did you know that John Ritter is in … Continue reading
Melon Collie Pony
I think I first heard about the movie Melancholia somewhere around the time they announced that Bernie Madoff was no longer suicidal. There seemed to be a lot of depression and suicide themed stories in the news around then. I … Continue reading
I’ve Never Met an Ugly Horse, Part II
The Black Stallion Returns is a completely different movie from the first one. Instead of taking place on a desert island, or a New York farm, it takes place in the desert, far outside of Casablanca. Instead of being about … Continue reading
