An indifferent sun bleeds through dark velvet clouds the color of cheap boxed wine A gunshot wound on a rock and roll icon Chirping birds mock the early morning Children laughing at an old lady's flabby arms I have survived another apocalypse A speed freak soldier in a broken down taxi cab Plywood seat contorts...

Film Review:SUN DON’T SHINE(2012) It’s Never Just Groceries in the Trunk
Sun Don't Shine, the feature film directorial debut by hardworking and talented independent film actress Amy Seimetz, is a hazy neo-noir that takes us through the backwaters and chintzy tourist towns of Florida. It tells the grimy story of two lovers, Crystal and Leo. They argue and discuss the architecture of their relationship as they crisscross... Continue Reading →
Film Review: COMBAT SHOCK-DIRECTOR’S CUT(1985) American Nightmares on Staten Island
Would you trust the artistic merits of a film written and directed by a dude named Buddy Giovinazzo, or Buddy G as he appears in the credits of Combat Shock? When my credit wasn't worth a shit, I think Buddy G was the guy that gave me a personal loan in the damp alleyway behind... Continue Reading →
Film Review: I DON’T FEEL AT HOME IN THIS WORLD ANYMORE(2017) Long title, short movie
When I was a young man, I loved long movies. Like doing tequila shots with the prettiest girl in town, I relished the three hour run times of Heat, GoodFellas and the Godfather flicks. Well, the first two Godfather movies. Don't worry, Sofia Coppola became a fine director and she was put in a tough... Continue Reading →
Film Ramblings: HOFFA(1992) Dig Him Up for Another Look
I love Danny DeVito's Hoffa. Whatever liberties the filmmakers might have taken with the man's life will not cause an engine to seize or bust a couple of axles on an interstate haul, so we won't worry over such details in this essay. Your opinions of modern day labor unions shouldn't determine the artistic merits of this... Continue Reading →
Film Review: LAKE MUNGO(2008) A Creepy Study on the Archaeology of Loss and Guilt
Death is a sure shot sniper. Since the beginning of time, it has been ending people with extreme prejudice. The Grim Reaper doesn't care what color your skin is, or what god you pray to at night before you go to sleep. When death has you in the crosshairs, you are better off just coming...

Film Ramblings: THE BAD NEWS BEARS(1976) Throwing Spitballs at the Cancer of Political Correctness
Pardon me while I flex my right wing, but I believe the United States is the greatest country in the history of the world. I am probably a loud, obnoxious(drunk?) American, but nothing will change that belief in me. Perhaps you shouldn't read any further if you think you know how this is going to... Continue Reading →
Film Review: CLEAN, SHAVEN(1993) It’s not a porn, you pervs!!
If you are a male and born before 1980, you have probably lamented at least once how easy it is for kids today to get their hands on pornography. Technology is a wonderful thing and has made the masturbatory arts accessible for everyone, not just those with a cool uncle or undersexed, alcoholic fathers who... Continue Reading →
Film Review : SPRING FORWARD(1999) Spending time with good men.
Good people do bad things. Desperation is a powerful demon. It can shadow you like a grubby drug dealer, enticing you with the narcotic of better things ahead. Just take this one hit, bub. It isn't even wrong if you just do it once. No one ever had to confess over just a single time... Continue Reading →
