Jimmy Carter-ing at Lunch

May 23rd, 2008 · 7 Comments

Some day I will go out to get lunch and come back dead or it least in a “critical but stable” condition. That’s because unlike the local lunch-reviewing icon who eats in the safety of Johnson County,I have to forage for food around the war zone a.k.a. Independence Ave. Its unpredictable mix of ethnicities, [...]

Walk Hard

December 29th, 2007 · No Comments

When the local movie goddess commands me to see a movie, I listen. This movie has everything - dirty jokes, innuendo, great music and the most literal interpretation of how the Jews run show business in the history of movies.

December 18th, 2007 · 3 Comments

No Country for Old Men

December 8th, 2007 · 2 Comments

I’ve heard that this movie received great reviews, but when JustCara recommended it I had to go see it. I liked this movie but in a different way: I was almost hypnotized by it. The movie is 2 hrs long but if it went on for another two hours, I wouldn’t complain. Something about [...]

I thought it [...]
