Last August, my Mother told some of her friends in Pennsylvania that I was hired as an Adjunct Professor at Monmouth University. These lovely folks were glad to hear it and gave me one of the best gifts that one can receive - a book! This book, The Last Kingdom by Bernard Cornwell, […]

Khaled Hosseini, the author of The Kite Runner, deserves all of the credit that he’s been getting in literary circles. This novel, his first, won at least a half dozen awards and was a #1 New York Times bestseller - very impressive. After hearing some folks on the radio talk about how excited […]

Will Smith’s latest movie, I Am Legend, will go down as a movie with some of the best previews and trailers in recent history. And, for my part, I have to say that it will go down as a major bore for all of the people who had the pleasure/displeasure of sitting through it. […]

This movie is fantastic! The other day I had the opportunity to watch Hatchet, the Unrated Director’s Cut. I honestly had no idea what to expect going into this movie and I was ready to be let down (I’m not big into the horror scene and I hadn’t heard of this movie before). […]

This really should be titled as a “Pamphlet Review,” but it’s no big deal. Also, please remember that this manual is written for New Jersey citizens! This manual is a product of the Center for Civic Responsibility and is authored by Harry S. Pozycki. I believe that this manual is an important […]

One of my co-workers read this book last spring and she was very high on it. I picked up a copy around April because it was in the bargain bin and I admit, it’s a good read. Most of the information is dated (the book was published in 1996), but the core financial […]

What a terrible book. It’s rare that I pick-up a book that I can’t even finish, but this one was incredibly tough to sit through and I had to put it down. I was on a plane trying to push through this book and even with no where to go and nothing else […]

Boring. Completely boring. Lucky for me, viewing this film did not cost me anything because if I spent ANY money on this train wreck, I would be real hot right now. My apologies go out to my roommate who enjoyed this movie - I didn’t care for it.
The premise of the movie […]

I’m a little bit divided on this movie. The visuals are great, which we’ve come to expect from Dreamworks (the makers of Shrek), and the story is cute and fun - definitely something you’ll want to bring the kids to if you’re looking for something cartoony. But I didn’t really like something about […]

The Asbury Park Press has the second highest circulation in the state. Pretty impressive (the Star-Ledger far outpaces the Press). Last week, the Press flipped over to a new, higher-tech website over at APP.com.
I’ll be honest - I think the new website is garbage. I used to be able to find all […]

By now it should be obvious that I’m a Smallville freak (not to be confused with a meteor freak). My story is simple: I bought Season 1 on DVD one day because it was selling for $20 and I had only ever heard good things about the show. I plowed through Season […]

Absolutely friggin’ hilarious! I don’t know what it is about Seth Rogen’s movies, but they are unbelievably funny - better than any other brand of comedy out there today. If you’ve seen the movie, the entire “McLovin” character is worth the price of admission and you know what I’m talking about! Here […]
