Dan in Real Life
Dan In Real Life (6/10) I had really wanted to see this in the theaters two years ago. It looked like it would be great. But it’s disappointingly mediocre. It gets most of its 6/10 mostly because I found the romantic leads Steve Carell and Juliette Binoche to be so [Read More]
Religulous
Religulous – 8/10 Perhaps not the best documentary ever, but it articulates my thoughts on religion in a way my mind is attuned to. Most of my friends would not agree with the points Bill Maher makes here, and I do not wish to highlight our differences now, so [Read More]

the darkness of the music of the knight
This has been a staple of the Toastie Soundtrack for the past week or so. Good driving music. Good work music. Good pissed-at-the-world music. Good moving-to-wisconsin music. :D I had been working another angle for this post. Creatively speaking, it was a bit of a dud. You [Read More]
dark knight
(October 2001, wearing some Halloween costume that came in a bag called ‘Dark Knight’) I finally saw the big movie of the summer. The Dark Knight is everything that everyone has said about it. It’s exquisite and bone-chilling and mesmerizing and quite the [Read More]
