• BAMF of the Week: Alex Kingston

    I've been doing a few fitness inspirations but I knew this character was way more than that. For those of us Healthkicker's who are also Whovians, you already know that Alex Kingston AKA River Song is the biggest BAMF there is! As I person who looks up to strong characters like Maggie Q and Jillian…
  • The Men Who Stare At Goats

    At the beginning of The Men Who Stare At Goats, a confiding message beforehand says that 'more of this is true than you might think.' Maybe so, maybe not so much, but it's an entertaining black comedy, involving guns, drugs, and goats based on the also apparently true memoir of the same name…
  • Three Kings (It's about the other Iraq war)

    With the arrival of my little baby boy, I have taken a few weeks off work to cook and clean and generally care for the little family. I also figured this extra time would be ideal for catching up on a lot of movies that I've never seen. (Side note: I discovered the Roseville Public Library y…
  • Michael Clayton

    It seems passivity is the enemy here, and there's enough of it to spare in Michael Clayton, a law thriller that uncoils gradually, and reveals suddenly. Everyone has the 'whoops' factor tied around their little finger, where nothing said or done has any connection to them. This includes the…
  • Decoding Pop Culture

    In a recent poll which asked people which celebrity they would most want to party with, competitive swimmer Michael Phelps came in at No.3, with only George Clooney and Owen Wilson ranking higher.

  • Fantastic Mr. Fox

    Wes Anderson, universally both loved and hated as the number #1 presenter of indie quirk, is also known for putting his offbeat characters and situations through decidedly grownup live-action. But Fantastic Mr. Fox, his first foray into the family genre, has no hint of unprofessional or sloven…
  • Merry Christmas to Hollywood

    Usually Christy and I enjoy going to the theatres about once a week, but the last couple of months have seen us busier than ever. We went to a movie sometime in October, then once more recently to see The Blind Side, and I went in the middle of the night to see Avatar on it's opening weekend...but…
  • We Are Not Swans. We Are Sharks.

    "Make no mistake your relationships are the heaviest components in your life. All those negotiations and arguments and secrets, the compromises. The slower we move the faster we die. Make no mistake, moving is living. Some animals were meant to carry each other to live symbiotically over a lifet…
