There are few questions in life that are as important and impactful as the question of what happens when we die.

Too many lose sight of their own lives in pursuit of an answer as… Continue reading AFTER DEATH – documentary review

It takes a special sort of insanity to head for the bathroom and the bedroom of America while the world warms, children die hungry, and the populace becomes more and more divided into have and have nots. It’s a special sort of madness to shrug as a sovereign nation is invaded by a bloodthirsty dictator… Continue reading So, The Only Way Forward Is Back, I Guess
This is a fun time of year for cynics. For folks like me, we get to frown and gnash our teeth at all of the entertainment we love that is not recognized with awards. The movies, the music, the books, and everything else. We insist it isn't fair, we decry a system that's against the… Continue reading Broaden Your Horizon
There is a particular sort of awfulness to how we let bureaucracy kill one another. We watch as our brothers and sisters are hung up by red tape and left to hang for all to see. We watch as they drown beneath manufactured debt - property taxes on homes and land they own. We evict… Continue reading By the Book

If there is something that is true about the human-animal it’s that we can all go through the very same things in the same ways and each of us will experience it differently. The collection of us come from different backgrounds, different make-ups, and have different chemistries at work in us. While ‘nothing is new’,… Continue reading Weak
As more and more of us turn to ‘streams’ to get our entertainment - and information - content there has been a stronger and stronger pushback from the creative and collecting sides of things. What was once looked at as a great convenience, to turn to a stream for movies and shows, has become the… Continue reading Get Physical
I always have a hard time calling things ‘mockumentaries’. The word ‘mock’ catches me. In my head, I hear it as if it’s mocking a subject or style. Not imitating it but making fun of it. Pseudo-documentary feels better but is a lot of goop in the mouth and it doesn’t sound better. I shall,… Continue reading Remi Milligan: Lost Director – mockumentary review
If you peruse my blog for any length of time you will quickly realize two things - I am not religious but I have respect for religion. I think it’s an important distinction to make because too many atheists like to make a scene ranting about how evil religion is. That’s not me. Faith is… Continue reading Pay Up
Last night I got to take my daughter out for her first real-live Halloween. We had taken her to the houses of family her first two, and that was fun, but this time it was the real deal. And she loved. And we loved it. It reminded me of why Halloween is so important culturally… Continue reading All Hail Halloween
