It’s Time to Unload the Mahogany Monster

The Mahogany Monster needs to go! No I’m not interested in delivering. I have less than zero interest in shipping. I’m looking to downsize to a “standard” 60-something inch pedestal desk (hopefully with keyboard tray) and I need to get rid of my faithful Mahogany Monster. No idea what…

Review – Leaving Las Vegas

★★★★☆ Leaving Las Vegas is a very difficult movie to watch. I mean that. Only Nicolas Cage could have pulled off the lead role. Leaving Las Vegas seemed to be written for him and his penchant for “just past the edge” character roles. Elisabeth Shue has come a long way…

Review – Silver Linings Playbook

★★★★☆ Silver Linings Playbook is just plain great! Jenifer Lawrence should have gotten an Oscar for this role. Bradley Cooper delivers his usual phenom performance as well.

Review – Interstellar

★☆☆☆☆ I was viciously disappointed with Interstellar. I just can’t find the words to correctly describe how disappointed I was, especially after all of the hype and seeing 8.6 out of 10 star ratings posted all around the Web. Well, they must have seen it in one of those giant…

Review – The Waiting Time

★★★★☆ I must say, The Waiting Time turned out to be surprisingly good. No, it’s not James Bond with beautiful women and lots of stuff blowing up, this is more along the lines of “Smiley’s People” with just a touch more action. It is more about the trade craft along…
