  • The Games

    So I finally have some time to sit down and write about what I’m doing. We had this party that was definitely not the party it should have been given what happened earlier in the day. We started the biggest party I’ve ever been a part of on a down note, with the death of…

  • RIFF Day 1 & 2

    It’s time for the Rainier Independent Film Festival (RIFF) in Ashford, WA.  I’ve been involved with the festival since 2007, which I guess that means from the beginning.  It’s a great weekend away from the hustle of the city to watch some good, bad and ugly movies in the shadow of Mt Rainier.  This year…

  • Franz Ferdinand

    Oh the ringing in my ears, the slight after taste of beer when I burp, the vein in my forehead seems to be getting larger and my eyeballs are showing me my pulse. A small price to pay for the excellent concert last night! Franz Ferdinand was awesome! The band is tight, the songs were…

  • The Dark Knight

    Holy shit… My review is plain and simple for a reason.  I won’t spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet, but the ones who have will understand. I saw something I’ve never seen before when it comes to cinema, well being the film geek that I am that says something, the performances given…

  • Pixar is made up of cool

    Went to see Wall-E last night at the Majestic with S and I have to go see it again.  It’s not that I missed parts or was distracted, it’s just that good of a movie that I have a deep seeded need to see it again. Pixar revolutionized animation and they keep setting the bar…

  • Turning 10,000

    In the last few weeks I’ve been working on taking more photos, what I didn’t realize was my camera was about to turn 10,000. It’s a joyous day when on my camera’s 10,000 shutter click it takes a photo of a half naked woman doing a burlesque show. I’ve had this camera body since November…

  • Photo Credit from the Seattlest

    I was looking through my reader this afternoon and I noticed a great photo of the Dalai Lama from his visit last month.  Well look at that, it’s one of mine.  I love the fact that I can get my images out there for a bunch of people to look at.  Especially the ones I…

  • Calling Doctor Jones…?

    Went to see the fourth installment of the Indiana Jones franchise yesterday, I use the term franchise simply because that’s what it has become.  I laughed at the parts you should laugh at and at the end when the plot, that was so transparent it hurt, was reveled I said “holy shit they’ve jumped the…

  • Review – The Flyboys

    So here I am in Ashford, WA, the Southwest entrance to Mt Rainier National Park, it’s the road to paradise and I’m watching indie flicks.  Sounds like fun doesn’t it? The Flyboys has been “released” so to speak.  It hasn’t been picked up  by any major studios and the writer & director, Rocco DeVilliers, has…

  • Reviews – Four Brothers

    I just watched Four Brothers, not my usual fare, but I decided what the hell I have Netflix so I might as well take advantage of the three movies at once thing.  Let me say this, I’m disappointed in Mark Wahlberg, Tyrese Gibson, Josh Charles and Chiwetel Ejiofor.  Can’t you boys do better then this…
