Good Boys Doing Bad Things
The black beast roared along the highway. Its headlights cast yellow beams across the dark pavement, piercing the night’s think blackness. Air whipping across the car’s hood could not drown out the engine’s ferocious roar. It was an old model, modified for more power and speed. The car was loud, dark, and it was hunting…

Boston at Night
City skylines are beautiful structures when illuminated at night. I’ve seen a few such as Chicago, London, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, and Philadelphia. The most recent feast for my eyes was Boston. I’ve already written about some of its history, and the old city is an amazingly vibrant part of what makes Boston worth a visit. The…

Here’s A Good Movie I Forget About
You know what’s a good movie that I always forget about? Moneyball. Flipping through the ol’ movie collection, I happened upon this gem of Hollywood baseball and thought, “Oh yeah! I’ve been wanting to watch this again. Lucky me, because today is that day.” My brain apparently likes to reward me for stumbling across things…

Hesitant individuals are interrupted and talked over, riders to ideas forced upon them by those…

The Old North Church
As I log off from another hour spent exploring the Commonwealth in Fallout 4 and now sit watching Nicolas Cage go crazy trying to steal the Declaration of Independence, I reminisce about a recent trip to the heart of the American revolution. Boston is a nest of history, full of sights and stories. A visitor’s…

Saturday Morning Cinema: AFI Top 100 Edition – Wrapping Up the 90’s
#92 Goodfellas Martin Scorsese received plenty acclaim for this mob-fueled story of Henry Hill. He probably could’ve received more and may have been chasing it with similarly stylized subsequent films. I’m not going to apologize for thinking about gangsters when I hear the name Scorsese. This movie is beautifully entertaining in the way the characters…
