These stories have been around a long time. Some of them I have updated. Many of them I haven’t. This started out when blogs were like, new!
A Fear of Wasp. Flying Dragons
Image via Wikipedia Do you fear Wasp's? They are miniature flying dragons you know? Out terrizing society and fools like me... They like to come come fly down and land in your pool while your swimming to cool off for a bit.. What happens? RUN! (swim fast) Yes...
“Bruce Almighty”? Damnation! – A Movie Review
In 2003's Bruce Almighty, God, played by Morgan Freeman, explains to Jim Carrey that if only people realized that not only God but they too possess power, they wouldn't need to pray as much as they do and everything would be . . . whatever. Never mind Bruce's...
Why be a Vegeterian? No Bambi Burgers….
I wrote some ramblings years ago about having a “Bambi Burger Bash” in my backyard. We could have one Bambi hanging in a tree and another on the grill… We could also have a bucket of KFC along with some other snacks and appetizers. Later, we could have some home made...
“I Served the King of England” & the 20th Century – A Movie Review
Czech filmmaker Jiri Menzel adapted, in 2008, yet another novel by Bohumil Hrabal--this time, I Served the King of England (with English subtitles). Though I haven't read the book, I find it impossible to doubt that it's a very good film version, one for which a...

No Allergic Reactions to “Hay Fever” – A Theatre Review
I don't find Noel Coward's comic play, Hay Fever--performed in Tulsa in 2011--very funny, but I do enjoy and respect it. It's rollicky, inventive and properly, indeed brilliantly, structured. It would be nice if there were at least one really honorable character in...
“Waiting for Superman” Plus The Village Voice – A Movie Review
The Davis Guggenheim film, Waiting for "Superman" (2010-now on DVD), is a good if imperfect documentary about public schools in the U.S. Guggenheim is a liberal who is rightly critical of teachers' unions. The Village Voice's Melissa Anderson, who didn't like the...
