The Movie Dude: The 'Answer' to a dull romantic comedy
Posted March 19, 2010Don’t get me wrong, nothing beats a classic movie, but even those classic movies were new at one point. I’m sure even “The Godfather” had a few pessimists at first who are now kicking themselves.Being the type I am, I’m certainly not going to write about something you’re going to see advertised during every commercial break on “American Idol.” I don’t write about newer movies that often, so when I do I prefer it to be something that flew under the radar.

Paris: A Grand Tour of the City of Lights
Posted November 16, 2007There is so much to see in Paris, so many historical landmarks, so many important museums, so many unforgettable churches, one should spend at least a week exploring the city and its surroundings. Unfortunately I only had three days to see everything I wanted to see and to show it to my friend who had never been to Paris before: a very short time that forced us to pick only a few attractions and leave the other ones for our next trip to the City of Lights.

Big Perm's World
Call of Duty 3's got killer graphics, lackluster story
Posted January 17, 2007As many of you already know, Big Perm is a lover, not a fighter. I would rather make sweet, sweet, love to a woman with a hint of Al Green playing in the background, rather than throw down with a no neck muscle head at the local bar. If push comes to shove, tree hugging hippies, and lefty pinko fascists better watch there step, because a world of hurt is coming their way.
