I like Eugene Levy. He was brilliant in A Mighty Wind and I even liked in the first American Pie. But he consistently in the worst movies - as mentioned before Cheaper by the Dozen 1 and 2, The Man, Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry met Lloyd and maybe the worst of [...]
I’ve railed about the fact that it seems that every movie made is a sequel, tv show redux, or a book made into a movie. The original screenplay is a lost art. Case in point - Cheaper by the Dozen 2 - this movie apparently sucked the big one - still there’s [...]
I can’t believe I’m about to say this - but I actually might want the Harry Potter soundtrack. Members of Radiohead appear in the movie on the soundtrack.
What a great movie. I’ve never seen the TV show (Firefly) and I didn’t miss a beat watching the movie. It is everything a movie like this should be: fun and action packed, funny, and believe it or not - smart. A lot of movies in this genre try too hard [...]

Saw Batman Begins this weekend and I’ll say this first - it was a very good and entertaining movie. Now that that’s said I’ll say this: why are there no new ideas at the theater anymore? Everything is a remake (War of the Worlds), a sequel (in addition to Batman - Star Wars [...]
Ostensibly A Rubber Door is about anything that's on my mind. Mostly that seems to be about politics, music, sports, and arguing with others about all of the above. I took the name of this blog from a Michael Penn song called Me Around. Check out Michael - he's about the best singer/songwriter there is.
