Duh!

October 29, 2005I was bowled over by the number of calls, letters, emails, and shout outs sent my way for number 33. It was much appreciated and for those of you who sent in your regards I thank you very much and it meant it a lot to me. The actual day was fairly low key – a very typical Thursday just lounging around with Daniel and…
October 25, 2005Last night I was on my way home from the annual family birthday gala for me and Amanda. All had a great time though I really should have taken some cheese bread home. Highlight: As we were getting ready to leave, my aunt found a slice of cheese bread in her purse. No one knows how it got there other than some hyena like ravaging…
October 17, 2005****/**** Dir: Akira Kurosawa 1950 Black and White Japanese 88 min Unrated because they didn’t do that back then silly. Leave it to Akira Kurosawa to break the string of Netflix disappointments. I admit this one has sat on my record player for the last two months waiting for a chance to get watched. It even traveled to Hong Kong since I figured that I…
October 14, 2005**/**** Dir: Spike Jonze 2002 Color English 114 min Rated R for language, sexuality, some drug use and violent images. Another Netflix mixed bag. Roger Ebert said this was one of the best movies of the year. I just found it to be boring. AND I had to suffer through not just one Nicholas Cage, but two. (Damn Twins). I was raring to give Spike…
October 14, 2005** 1/2 /**** Dir: Wolfgang Becker 2003 Color German 121 min Rated R for brief language and sexuality. From the Netflix queue, this was one of those movies that you read about and think to yourself that it should be funny and interesting and crazy. The trailers certainly made it feel that way. I should know better than to listen to trailers. I put this…
October 14, 2005***/**** Dir: Jean-Pierre Jeunet 2004 Color French 133 min Rated R for Violence and Sexuality Ok, I fell for the “If you Love Amelie you will love this French movie starring Audrey Tatou” line. Damn. Believe me I know Amelie, I Love Ameile, and The Longest Engagement, you are no Amelie. It is a sweet story about lovers who get separated by war. There is…
October 14, 2005*** 1/2 /**** Dir: Hayao Miyazaki 2004 Color Japanese 119 min. Rated PG for frightening images and brief mild language. One thing I enjoy about Miyazaki’s films is that you always hit the ground running. Sometimes it takes you awhile to get your bearings, but when you do, you are usually in for a good solid film. This one is no difference, though skimming through…
October 14, 2005**/**** Dir: Geoffrey Sax 2005 Color English 101min. Rated PG-13 for violence, disturbing images and language. This was an interesting film, but not that exciting. Sure there were some good make-ya-jump moments, but you still had to sit there and watch Michael Keaton for 101 minutes try and make sense of what was going on around him. To be brief: He’s in love with Wife…
October 13, 2005I think I have finally settled on a new home for Club Josh. I like the fact that the Better Business Bureau keeps tabs on web-hosting companies since there are so many out there that I have never really heard of. Also, it seems to me that any site that “evaluates” web hosting is run by one of the web hosts. Does anyone know of…
