Prodigal Son Burn

Prodigal Son Burn

In the days following the attacks on the twin towers of the World Trade Center, if I told you that in less than 8 years the leading candidate for the Prdsidnet of the United States would be a guy named Borack Hussein Obama you might very well have fattened my lip for me. By this I don't mean to sugg... [More]

McCain - No Country For Old Men

McCain - No Country For Old Men

By now, I guess I can safely take another swipe at the presidential campaign. It's down to three and, at this point, even if Hillary had lost Texas or Ohio I get the impression she's in this thing 'til the bitter end. Let's face it, those Clintons want their old house back. And if worse comes to sho... [More]

Swede Dreams

Swede Dreams

Victoria Lagerstrom - Heaven Sent When you think of female groups or vocalists from Sweden that have made an impact here in the United States, first knee-jerk reaction is to instantly blurt out ABBA. Unfair as it may seem, revered or loathed, ABBA always seems to be the subliminal barometer for w... [More]

Oscar Oscar Oscar!

Oscar Oscar Oscar!

So the Oscars have been handed out. There were a couple of surprises, but for the most part, it was the "No Country For Old Men" show, as expected. I have to say, I didn't see the Tilda Swinton win coming. I thought Cate Blanchett had that one bagged for portraying Bob Dylan, fitti... [More]

Indiana Jones and the Highly Anticipated Trailer!

Indiana Jones and the Highly Anticipated Trailer!

Holy sh-oogar! Valentine's Day can't come soon enough. Given that it is a day of romance, I do plan on treating my wife like the amazing woman she is, but that will have to wait until after I see--finally!--the trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I guess it's a good thing... [More]

Victoria Tour Rolls On - 30 Days and 30 NIghts in the Wild West

I saw Sebastian Maniscalco open for BB King & Al Green at Hard Rock Hotel last September. He was brilliant and hysterical. BB's audience was elderly and the acoustics were awful but Sebastian heroically plowed through. The Joint has some VIP seating somewhere upstairs but I had a standing room only... [More]

Standing on the Shoulderpads of Giants - Superbowl Recap!

What can I say? I'M SHOCKED! I've just witnessed one of the greatest upsets in sports history. New England played an amazing game, but you have to give New York all the credit in the world. How Eli Manning avoided that sack is beyond me, but that catch by David Tyree will go down in history as one o... [More]

Dude, Let's Party - The Boneman's Obligatory Political Dust Up

You may have noticed if you've read any of my recent articles that I've become a kinder gentler Boneman. I find that I can function nearly as well without the cuss-words, but on the other hand, like many Americans, I've had it up to my "waste elimination apparatus" with political correctness. The fa...

Oscar Nominations, Analysis and Commentary from Acadam Mast

80th Academy Award Nominations With Commentary from the Insightful One "Acadam Mast" I guess the big question on everyone's mind right now is will The Oscars happen or will we get a no frills press conference like we did with The Golden Globes. The Academy is stating that the show will go on, on... [More]

We're off to freeze our gizzards - In Sundance.

We're off to freeze our gizzards - In Sundance.

On Thursday, Jan. 17th, we're off to Sundance 2008. There's about one hundred films I want to see, but I'll be lucky if I make it to 25 of those. There just isn't enough time to hit everything and it's a damn shame too because this is the best Sundance line-up in years. Seriously, I can't wait! This... [More]

Striking Gold - Globes Lose Their Spin Due to Strike. See Who Won

Hollywood's foreign press voted ``Atonement'' and ``Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street'' the best films of 2007 at a Golden Globe Awards stripped of its usual glamour by the writer strike. Daniel Day-Lewis was named best dramatic actor for his role as an oil baron in the film ``There... [More]

Happy Birthday to Me

Happy Birthday to Me

Yes it is my Birthday and I thought I'd throw down a couple quick thoughts - * What do you give the man who has everything? It starts with a b. *It's just another magical day in a lifetime of insignificance. *Closer and closer to perfection, further and further from anyone who gives a crap.... [More]

In a Family Way

In a Family Way

My goodness, it's been a crazy month. And Christmas has had nothing to do with it. Now that I've finally got an agent - I spend all my time trying to keep the man happy. But I intend to, because no matter how ornery they might be - they're twice as hard to get as a hole in one. And, for writers, the... [More]

Golden Globe Noms

Golden Globe Noms

2007 GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINATIONS! So the 2007 Golden Globe nominations were recently announced. Aside from being completely and utterly disgusted that Once failed to pick up a single nomination, I haven't much to say. Seriously folks, I'm stunned. I thought for sure Once would at least get a nod... [More]

Play our little game we call X-mas X-es

Though it's been nearly a dozen long old years, He must have been gazin' thru dozens of beers. After all the man's been the sexiest alive, but on the ten scale this one barely rates a five. Perhaps he was looking for what lies beneath, Cause she's got sixty seven or sixty eight teeth. She's ro... [More]
