About Me

I am a geek, but I can draw, so people let that pass. I have a somewhat sarcastic attitude, but can be quite serious and even passionate on an issue. I've lived in Minnesota pretty much my whole life, spent a brief few months in L.A. I liked L.A., but I don't particularly miss it.

Rambo With a Vengeance

I had to see this. It had Kurtwood Smith in it. You either know Kurtwood from his turn as the awesomely low class crime lord Clarence Boddicker in Robocop or as moody dad Red Forman from That 70's S...

First Blood-ier

I have seen First Blood. While not a favorite film, I think it is a good film, in spite of a somewhat embarrassing ending where a sobbing Stallone makes sure that if you missed it, the movie was about...

Seinfeld, Season 9

First, a confession. I am a big fan of the show. I feel it marked a change for the better in television. Yes, it began quite shaky. And I firmly believe that has it appeared in today's market, it ...

Halloween 5: the Revenge of Michael Myers

So, in Halloween 4, the franchise returned to Michael Myers. And it was a somewhat decent return. And apparently did well enough that Halloween 5 was trotted out before the masses a short year later...

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
