Someone please tell me what the point of this movie is. If it’s meant to be satirical, which it is in spades, couldn’t it have been more LOL funny like SNL? If it’s meant to be some kind of historical political biopic, then all i can say is too soon, too soon. The gags, the [...]

I’m glad that Mickey Rourke won a Golden Globe for his performance in The Wrestler, because although the movie tends to be fairly predictable overall, this was one of the most honest performances I’ve seen in a while. Now everyone is talking about the Mickey Rourke comeback tour, which made me curious enough about the [...]

I’d heard a lot about this one before actually watching it. It wasn’t a bad movie, all in all, but there wasn’t anything particularly moving about it. It’s based off a F.

The rest of what I know is just what I read about anti-Castro folks [...]

Just something I saw in China CSR.com…this thing was on the way from Oakland to China.

I dont know why but Portland has been figuring on my mind lately. Probably because I am thinking if there is something better than becoming a lifer in Shanghai or some kind of nomad. As much as I would just love to be able to roam , i think it would get old–maybe it already [...]
