October 11th, 2018 by Joshua Murray

A Star Is Born is getting all kinds of buzz and praise for its performances on screen, and on the soundtrack. And all of that love and positivity is earned and deserved. If you had told me at the start of 2018 that in October I’d be watching a film with Lady Gaga, Sam Elliott, […]

The Veronica Mars Movie 2: How I See It.

May 4th, 2014 by Joshua Murray

I’m sure that Rob Thomas and Diane Ruggiero have already started writing the sequel to the Veronica Mars Movie. Hell, I’m sure that if I looked on the interwebs I’d find rumoured plans for a web series or new movie or something. But I haven’t looked at all. Instead I’ve taken a minute to write […]

15 Reasons We Love 10 Things I Hate About You

November 18th, 2012 by Joshua Murray

Look, I know that this should probably be a 10 reasons list since the name of the movie is 10 Things I Hate About You – but there are more than 10 reasons that this movie is amazing and I’m not good at paring things down. I’m also not good at putting things into any […]

The Dark Knight Rises & The Amazing Spider-Man: What They Got Right!

September 3rd, 2012 by Joshua Murray

I love the stories and characters and little things that become myth and legend and literature when given the attention that I believe they deserve. Because of that I am sometimes nervous for comic book movies. Studios love big explosions and […]

Yesterday I was walking down the street when I passed The Cardinal Rule and had to do a double-take, come back and take a photo of their chalkboard sign in front of the restaurant… I smiled.

Number 5 With A Splash!

July 22nd, 2012 by Joshua Murray

Note: I was going to use the word bullet in the title, but given recent events and my post about gun violence and how I’m feeling about what’s been going on I’m happy to use splash instead. I used to write a lot of lists. In fact, I got an awesome leather notebook with my […]
