I am not one for searching out a play and just reading if for the sake of reading it. Funny that… I love theatre, I am on a play-reading committee at my local theatre, but yet I find reading plays a chore. However, give me a script to memorize or audition for and…. ZAP… I’m […]

Wow. What a great film… and I don’t think I’ve been able to say that since I saw The Orphanage months ago. We ventured over to the Toledo suburbs yesterday for date night to see Changeling at the nice theater since we still had a free pass leftover from a movie where they had technical
In the past few months, I’ve had the opportunity to get involved in a role playing game – sort of like Dungeons and Dragons, I’m told. This one was called “Call of Cthulu”, and we played it on two separate Saturdays for about 5 hours each. We began by choosing a character, and then we
It was a beautiful evening in Bryan Ohio. There were some wonderful singers and musicians performing for a musical recital. My youngest did her best to bring music to many people. It is her senior year and last recital. So many talented young people, and so few times to see them. I guess I should

I’ve wondered about this expression for some time. I’ve always thought that it referred to wiping your slate (chalkboard) clean before starting something. I just finished a google search and found that it can have a deeper meaning or much lighter. One thing I found deals with the whole “Nature or Nurture” question. The blank
No, this is not one of the Boy Wonder’s many quips to the Caped Crusader (that I am aware of, anyway). This comes from the 1994 movie The Fantastic Four. Never heard of it? Wasn’t it made more recently than that? These are not surprising questions. In the early ’90s a theatrical version of the

HERE THERE BE SPOILERS (not purposely, but if you have yet to see Quantum of Solace or even have a fresh viewing of Casino Royale behind you, I would skip this post. And if you are uninterested in either, then I give you permission to skip it all together. One thing I can say about
