The Dark Knight
The reviews were right, The Dark Knight is an amazing film. I’ve never seen a superhero/comic book film quite like it.
The movie is a great psychological thriller. You never know the extent the Joker will go to. As he says, he is an agent of chaos and that pushes Batman to the brink more than [...]
Personal Injury Mounts Up In Best Ordinals/Canucks Game Ever
It’s been a rough couple of weeks for me on the ice. First there was my shattered stick two weeks ago. Last week I took a slap shot to my left forearm. Last night, while grappling for the puck with the opponent, I managed to ram my stick into my stomach. That caused a nasty [...]

Tr2n
Wow! Among the trailers screened at Comic-Con this past week was a nifty little bit of footage for Tron 2 (or Tr2n as the on-screen title is displayed. Apparently the film comes out sometime in 2009. I LOVED Tron (see this Geek Out for more) and can’t wait to see the sequel, which even brings [...]

So You Think You Can Dance: Mark & Comfort Hip Hop
I’ve never been much of a fan of the straight forward hip hop routines on So You Think You Can Dance, but this week’s performance from Mark and Comfort was incredible.

The Quest Begins for “Hair” Tickets
Hair begins performances tonight at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park as part of the Public Theatre’s annual Shakespeare in the Park presentations. I’m already on the “virtual” ticket line this morning for two free tickets to the show. I’ll keep getting on the virtual line every day until I get in to see the [...]

Sara Bareilles on MTV
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged about Sara. But, this weekend while we were catching up on episodes of Legally Blonde The Musical: The Search For Elle Woods we saw these promos that aired because she was artist of the week back on July 7 (yay, Sara!). The third one is particularly great as [...]

Mamma Mia
Mamma Mia the movie suffers the same problem as Mamma Mia the stage show. The plot, while thin, could make a cute romantic comedy. However, the ABBA songs are crowbarred into the plot in ways that are mostly ludicrous and inhibit the plot.
I saw the stage show shortly after it opened in the fall of [...]
