Oscar Noms - The Good, The Bad and Borat

Oscar Noms - The Good, The Bad and Borat

I've got no real beef with the vast majority of these nominations. Yes there were far better performances than Meryl Streep in Prada, not that she's not the best actress that ever lived, but they could have given her the night off. I'm so happy for Ryan Gosling, unquestionably the best actor of his... [More]

Zoo: Adam does a little "Horsing Around" at Sundance!

Zoo: Adam does a little "Horsing Around" at Sundance!

For starters, let me just say that Zoo wasn't the first film I hit at Sundance. I figured I'd just start my reports with this flick because it seems to be the talk of the festival. And if it works out, perhaps I'll do the whole thing in reverse alphabetical order. I've found myself "wait listing... [More]

Getting to Know "Skippy." The New Man in Britney's Life.

I apologize from my somewhat lengthy absence from the Blog. You see giving someone a Blog is like giving an 8 year old boy a dog. After Dad is finished with his "you're taking on quite a responsibility" lecture and you swear to feed it, water it, clean up after it (blabbity bla) You're so excited th... [More]

Bone's Top 25 Albs

Bone's Top 25 Albs

This was the year that I discovered downloading music. In the past I had relied on the technical prowess of others to manage said skill while I languished in my cyber-intimidation. But from this day forth, let it be known, nay cry it from the rooftops "The Boneman is no longer afraid of his fucking... [More]

It's Aliiiiiiiiive!

It's Aliiiiiiiiive!

Hello readers. Yes, I am still very much among the quick - despite the rumors and the Beatle album clues to the contrary. About a week ago, my computer took a colossal dump. I finally got it repaired only to discover that my server was down due to several perfect storms playing hell with the greate... [More]

Golden Globe Winners 2007

Golden Globe Winners 2007

If this Golden Globes production proved one thing is that it's not always enough to put a whole bunch of famous and pretty people in a room in order to create a magical televised experience. Also if celebrities have become so insecure that they're no longer willing to laugh at one another's jokes th... [More]

Institute of Peace on Earth and Goodwill to Men - A Study Group

The other night I was watching the news or something and noticed that George Bush Senior was weeping openly. I didn't have the sound up loud enough to know why, but he was sobbing so hard I wondered if Barbara hadn't bought the farm. Turning up the volume I was surprised to learn that the former Pre...

Adam Chats with Sundance Co-Founder and Director of Work & the Glory 2 and 3 Sterling Van Wagenen

Before I get to this interview, I have a confession to make. I haven't seen the first two Work and the Glory pictures nor have I read the books, so sitting down to watch Work and the Glory III: A House Divided, was sort of an odd experience. It wasn't like watching Return of the King without having... [More]

Tenacious D - Live in Satan-ville!

Few things bring as much joy to my life as The D. Sure, there are the obvious ones; family, friends, cooking up a simmering teaspoon of primo smack etc., but Tenacious D is a different kind of joy altogether. With their long awaited film The Pick Of Destiny only, a few short days from release,... [More]

Horrorfest: 8 Films To Die For - Report 1

Horrorfest: 8 Films To Die For - Report 1

I don't need to remind anyone that I'm a huge fan of the horror genre. It should be painfully obvious to those of you who read this site. Yes, I'm a massive fan of movies in general, but horror films are of particular interest to me. Why? Partly because I was raised on them. I used to watch monster... [More]

Back In Action Soon

So it was a glorious but extremely tiring weekend. I travelled to chilly Salt Lake City and in a twenty-four hour period, I witnessed 5 of 8 Films To Die For (part of that Horror-Fest deal you probably read about in my last blog), watched the Jazz thunder back from a fifteen point deficit in the...
