'Speed Racer' is one for the record books
Friday, May 9, 2008
Remember when you were a kid and you discovered the joys of coloring books? If you were like me, you just wanted to fill in the spaces between those rigid black and white lines. But there was always that showoff whiz kid who used every one of those 64 Crayons and never colored even a bit over the borders. Andy and Larry Wachowski were probably those kids. That unique combination of flashiness and rigidity is at the artificial heart of one larger-than-life movie that explodes right off the screen this weekend in theaters.

Comiculture Vulture
Vulture No. 1
Wednesday, May 7, 2008
Comic books are the guilty pleasure of America. They’re marginalized and made fun of while being simultaneously strip-mined for as many possible summer blockbusters as the American movie-going public can stomach. Comic “geeks” are still mocked and considered fair game for the average snide comment, but many a “frat boy” will see Iron Man this summer, then go on and on about how “bad ass” Tony Stark’s alter ego truly is.
Sinema Parasito
Overfilling the Gene Pool

A major smack down's a comin'

Lottery Tickets Reviewed: Quick Crossword
Sunday, Feb. 17, 2008
At first glance the Quick Crossword scratch-off looks a little chintzy; its silver finish sparkles like stripper garb and the red, green, and yellow accent colors remind the contestant of elven workwear.

Blank Canvas
Please Excuse Our Progress
Saturday, Dec. 15, 2007
Visitors from a hip and healthy town like Lawrence, may see a melancholic beauty in the exposed decay of a place like Greenville. I did. Walking around the foundations of what had been a shoe store or a pharmacy reminded me of visiting the ruins in Rome, but these weren’t ancient ruins and they certainly were not a tourist attraction.

This issue: What to do if you find yourself attracted to Jamie Oliver
Sunday, June 10, 2007
Perhaps this matter should have been addressed five years ago. But, honestly, I never thought it would go this far. It just seemed like a matter of time before the public would begin to see the light. Nonetheless, the celebrity chef phenomenon is out of fucking control.
