As a director and storyteller, Ritchie stands out among the greatest. His forte is the modern British gangster films with urban flair and stylization; however, he does… Continue reading Guy Ritchie, Chi City, and Brain Crack

My Heart’s a’Twitter

In this marvelous time of social networking, social news, and...ample alternatives to being "real life" social, one of the most underestimated and useful is Twitter. I say "underestimated" because, while it is ridiculously populated, it is mostly used by advertisers, companies, promoters, individuals who want an outlet to share their experiences and, well, promote themselves.… Continue reading My Heart’s a’Twitter

Philadelphia Big 5: Get With the Times or Get out of the Way…

Most people of our parents' age in Philadelphia know about the Big 5, that informal league of local college basketball that used to be one of the most important and prestigious pinnacles of sport in the area. For those uninformed, the Big 5 is a sort of...unofficial conference made of Penn, St. Joe's, La Salle,… Continue reading Philadelphia Big 5: Get With the Times or Get out of the Way…

Broad Street Hooligans?

Note: "Football" will be used in this article instead of "Soccer." So I just got finished watching one of my more recent obsessions: Green Street Hooligans. GSH is a movie about an American, Matt, who travels to England and is dropped into the violent, drunken world of football hooliganism for the English Premier League. Hooliganism… Continue reading Broad Street Hooligans?

From My Cold, Dead Hands

"For the next six months, Al Gore is going to smear you as the enemy. He will slander you as gun-toting, knuckle-dragging, bloodthirsty maniacs who stand in the way of a safer America.

Eagles Continue “Miracle Year” for Philly Sports

Just two weeks ago the Philadelphia Eagles were left for dead.  Andy Reid, fired.  Donovan McNabb, traded for a bag of footballs.  And the inevitable handing of the torch to Kevin Kolb was the only logical choice.  This team could never win with McNabb as quarterback and had no chance of making a deep playoff… Continue reading Eagles Continue “Miracle Year” for Philly Sports

I Did a BAD, bad Thing…

I'm supposed to be doing work for my Senior Design class, so I have to keep it short. I did a bad thing today.
