I'm somewhat of a movie purist.  If given the opportunity to see the original version of a film - even if it's in a foreign language - I'd choose it over seeing the English language remake.  For example, I just saw the original Swedish version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.  Great movie!  I had no problem following the subtitles and now I have no desire... [Read more...]

If I haven't professed my love for pizza yet here on the Metro 67 community blog, allow me to do so now.  Pizza, quite frankly, just might be the perfect food.  Think about it.  If you throw some pepperoni and/or sausage on it, you've got all four major food groups represented.  Growing up in NY, pizza was practically it's own food group, at least that's... [Read more...]

I usually dig indie movies and documentaries.  Not that I'm opposed to the big Hollywood blockbuster studio movies, but indie movies - documentaries in particular - usually allow you to excercise your intellectual muscles a little more.  A good indie move, particularly one with a purpose or a message, steps outside the box of typical Hollywood inspired themes,... [Read more...]

I just read an interesting article today about how BP gas station owners across the country are starting to switch their gasoline to another brand to avoid a boycott from customers.  Maybe even you yoursel have thought about picketing the BP gas station while driving down Poplar Ave. through downtown Memphis.  Have you? I don't believe it's my place... [Read more...]

Any woman who has been lucky enough to date me (shameless self plug...LOL) knows that I'm a strong advocate for going on dates that are slightly off the beaten path.  Especially for the first few dates.  That's how you really find out what someone is made of, right?  And that doesn't mean that you have to do anything crazy or boring, but instead of dinner... [Read more...]
