Battlefield Earth – A Review
Imagine this. The camera pans across some generic mountain range that could be the Alps if only it had more snow, so you assume then it must be the Rockies, only the Rockies have never seemed so subdued and plain. These mountains seem to have all of the character and grandeur of the peaked whipped…

American Psycho – A Review
(The following dialogue does contain those evil little tidbits of undesired movie information known to many as SPOILERS. so if you wish for your American Psycho viewing experience to be as pure as the driven snow, then I suggest you keep a movin’ on and read no further.) T: Okay…. I left my little reaction…

birthday 2000
It is my birthday, and I am surrounded by more people that I adore and admire than I ever have in my life. I cherish all of you. Yet I read something this morning that reminds me that there are concerns outside ourselves that need our attention and (possibly) action. First, go to this link…

Post-Millenial Tension
Grab the dogs. Hug the cats. Call grandma. The millennium is here! No, wait, it really isn’t. I mean, let’s look at the empirical temporal facts here. There never was any year blessed with the designation of 0 (zero) AD. It started with 1 AD and time has creeped in its petty pace up to…

DC2K (who are you?)
A week later, a few hours of sleep, a few days of work, and I think that I have perhaps recovered from DragonCon. Its funny. I had always wanted to go, even as far back as my junior high school days. In retrospect, going to a science fiction convention of the scope and oddity of…

Great Albums?
With the impending new year, every magazine, website, cable channel, radio station and pig sty is formulating some list of the Greatest (Fill-in-the-Blank) of the 20th Century. Well, I haven’t the time or the inclination to throw together such an ambitious and presumptuous list. However, the topic of Great Albums often comes up in discussion…

Jeff Buckley – Grace – A Review
There is little so tragic as the too soon loss of potential. Such is the case with the late Jeff Buckley. This album was released in 1994 to feverish critical applause and though it received only a modicum of airplay, it was taken as a sign of wondrous things to come. But such things were…

Man on the Moon – A Review
Hello, my name is Thomas and this is my review of Man on the Moon. “Here I come to save the day!” I was only 6 years old when Andy Kaufman started working on “Taxi” and believe it or not, I remember. Who wouldn’t? Latka Gravas was an adorable character, and despite his being a…

Dogma – A Review
There are far too many people complaining about far too many things. Wait. Correction. There are far too many people complaining about stupid little things. That is more like it. People are starving. Countries are at war. Diseases run rampant. And yet it takes something like an unreleased film to actually get butts out of…

American Beauty – A Review
I actually believe I have been purposely avoiding this review, because the subject matter is just too powerful. Almost two months have passed since I saw American Beauty, and the images are still incredibly fresh. That is even part of the movie’s appeal, the colours are just so brilliant, like a new rose. I will…
