Thanksgiving 2023
Over Christmas, I finally got the time to settle down and watch a couple of movies that have been on my list. Ever since I saw Eli Roth’s fake trailer that played betwixt Planet Terror and Deathproof during the Grindhouse double-feature, I wanted this movie to be real.

Not Always “Just A Tool”
The knife above is a relatively plain Swiss Army knife. It is a little over 15 years old and I have carried and used it almost all of that time.

So I hunted down what I was looking from from the dozen or so makers out there and ended buying 2.

A CHRISTMAS STORY CHRISTMAS Review
A Christmas Story is one of my favorite films and in my opinion, the greatest Christmas movie ever made. When TBS starts the 24 hour marathon every Christmas, I park the TV on that channel and watch the movie back to back to back until it ends. I love Ralphie and the Old Man andContinue reading “A CHRISTMAS STORY CHRISTMAS Review”
