Now that I’ve seen ” I, Frankenstein” I must say it was not what I thought it would be. I was expecting a green skinned, neck bolted guy. Nope. This movie is based on the graphic novel I, Frankenstein by Kevin Grevioux. This Frankenstein’s monster is the original from 200 years ago, but the story is set in the present […]

The movie Cop Land with Sylvester Stallone has always been a favorite of mine because the character played by Sylvester Stallone is not at all what you’d expect. In this movie Sylvester Stallone plays Freddy, a police officer who doesn’t have a lot of confidence in himself. This guy is completely taken advantage of by fellow ‘fancy’ neighboring […]
On a recent Saturday I went to the grocery store and took a number at the deli. I was in a hurry. They were on number 49. My number was 62. It was quite a crowd. Some people came in pairs, browsing in front of the glass displays as they waited for their turn, making […]
