House Next Door
Applause (Applaus) (2010)
"Though utterly convincing as a renowned theater actress, it's clear from her work in Applause that Paprika Steen has a face for the camera. "
Men at Work (1990)
"Men at Work is patient zero for the plague of Charlie Sheen movies that infected the 1990s. "
Wild At Heart (1990)
"The power of the film is the endurance of an Elvis Presley song (or two), the staying power of a children's movie, and the sight and sound of a match being struck: romantically mellow, wackily comic, and deadly, darkly serious. "
Quick Change (1990)
"Quick Change requires a leap of faith from the audience. "
Die Hard 2 (1990)
"Most sequels try to hide from their derivative essence. "
"Privilege is also a crime in Cat from Hell, which once again pits the rich against a supernatural force for whom money holds no currency. "
Cinderella (2015)
"It's been made with enough care and belief in its material that it manages to refresh our relationship to the iconic tale. "
Salesman (1968)
"With his weathered face, Chiclet teeth and hints of baseline depression, Paul the Badger is the film's foremost emblem of American malaise, a fortysomething Working Joe chewed up in the gears of consumerist expectations. "
It Follows (2015)
"Though visionary, It Follows abounds in undigested ideas and dubious sexual politics. "
Mommy (2015)
"For a director whose characters regularly display an abundance of melodramatic sentiment, Xavier Dolan leaves himself plenty of emotional cover in his movies. "
Nightcrawler (2014)
"Nightcrawler lives by Gyllenhaal's great performance, but it dies by the limits of his character. "
Birdman (2014)
"Perhaps we can consider films like Babel the necessary ashes from which Birdman had to rise and hope Alejandro Gonz�lez I��rritu's ascendance continues. "
Young Einstein (1988)
"Serious's most distinguishing feature is his unruly hair, which serves as both a reminder of Einstein's own unkempt mane and the endless series of '80s-era stand-up comedians memorable only for their wacky hairdos. "
Lock Up (1989)
"There's nothing fun, however, about Lock Up's absent social interests, which are made particularly deplorable through a refusal to address any semblance of a socio-political zeitgeist. "
Starry Eyes (2014)
" The film, in the end, doesn't have much to say about the nature of fame and ambition, other than a bit of facile posturing and shopworn wisdom, and frankly, Widmyer and Kolsch seem more interested in exploitation than reflection. "
Weekend at Bernie's (1989)
"Ted Kotcheff's moth-bitten, notoriously macabre comedy Weekend at Bernie's is best--and most rewardingly--revisited as an unintended rumination on the queasy moral crises of Reaganomics-era America. "
Batman (1989)
"Returning to Tim Burton's 1989 Batman in light of Christopher Nolan's recent, remarkably successful Batman trilogy turns out to be quite a fascinating experience. "
The Liberator (2014)
"It cannot show history with any sort of complexity, so it instead gives us masses of people moved by Bol�var's words, and gorgeous sweeping vistas of the landscape backed by a stirring orchestra. "
"Breezy and slight in its runtime, Mat�as Lucchesi has crafted a coming-of-age film that's modest in its ambitions, but touching nonetheless. "
"As each of his running gags peters out into tidy resolution and the tired old tropes of the coming-of-age story rear their head, the overriding impression is that a bit of shit-shovelling might do Eimbcke the world of good. "
Tir ()
"While it feels churlish to criticize such a topical, heartfelt endeavour, it's also hard not to groan at a film whose final message is underlined by its protagonist literally shovelling shit. "
Arraianos ()
"It's only toward the end of the film, as one of the old women is seen sitting at a sewing machine in a modern house, that you realise just how far out of space and time it's transported you. "
Coast of Death (2015)
"Quite apart from the sheer visual joy generated by Pati�o's images, his injections of gentle humour in the voiceover anecdotes and lithe shifts in focus give the film a sense of forward motion and flow that thankfully never lets up. "
"Even if some of the Linklater film montages verge on YouTube fan videos, there's no denying the considerable skill involved in capturing such a natural-seeming conversation and then having its cadences dictate its structure. "
Vampire's Kiss (1989)
"Vampire's Kiss, pretty much never recognized, is even more important today than it was in the summer of 1989. "
Renegades (1989)
"What's left is a thin daguerreotype of an idea that was losing steam before cameras were even rolling. "
Dead Poets Society (1989)
"Dead Poets Society purports to be about the bravery of following one's own path. This is a bright, shining lie, one the film is ballsy enough to tell to your face. "
"For all its deficiencies and inconsistencies, Last Crusade endears itself to audiences by the utter idiosyncrasy of its execution. "
For Queen and Country (1989)
"Unlike Denzel Washington, whose acting career was soon to prosper, Martin Stellman hasn't directed another film since. "
Neighbors (2014)
"The screenplay is a poorly stitched-together patchwork of ideas, which shouldn't be a surprise, as See No Evil, Hear No Evil is credited to five writers. "
Captivated ()
"Private Violence is directive American trauma thinkpiece, insistent that its troubles can be confronted head-on. "
Private Violence (2014)
"Jeremiah Zagar's structure and politics devolve from questioning a particular kind of mediated fervor to concerning itself with more obvious issues of judicial malpractice. "
"What Kitty Green lacks in resolution, the film makes up for by implicitly stating that image-whether self- or media-made-is all that ultimately matters. "
Concerning Violence (2014)
"The film struggles at times to transcend its academic presentation as an advanced visual essay explicating a theoretical text. "
Manakamana (2014)
"Its urgent insistence upon rekindled patience and compassion make it a peculiar kind of structuralist essay film--and one of the most compelling in recent memory. "
Happy Valley (2014)
"Happy Valley quietly reveals the structures that assist deviant behavior as the site of true horror. "
Rich Hill (2014)
"The directors allow their camera to probe and linger in spaces of disorder and grime, but without any discernible purpose other than gaining access to lower-class spaces. "
The Notorious Mr. Bout (2015)
"The Notorious Mr. Bout doesn't untangle the moral and ethical quandary presented here by the density of reconciling public sins with private passions. "
"Using personal differences, economic rifts, and familiar city-versus-country conflicts to lay the groundwork for a complex murder mystery, Intruders remains a consistently entertaining and surprising sophomore effort. "
Papusza ()
"Papusza is at its most enthralling in some of the flashbacks, where we glimpse the heroine as an agent of her own fate. "
Metro Manila (2014)
"It easily shows up Ellis's panoply of crime-drama clich�s and overall touristic gaze. "
The Weight ()
The Sacrament (2014)
"Based on the evidence offered here, West would appear to believe that all cultists come to their way of life by an inherent lunacy or stupidity and nothing more. "
"A past of repressed feelings and bad trysts is summoned, but the conversations between Sunhi and her men seem to pivot more on questions of a sustainable career in filmmaking. "
Felony (2014)
"Felony reveals itself to be a profoundly cynical movie posing as a work of idealism. "
Boyhood (2014)
"Linklater has crafted a quotidian epic, a film sprawling in scope and ambition, bottomless in human feeling. Not since Altman's Nashville has an American film felt as real as life itself. "
"Apart from evoking imagery from his own works, Robbe-Grillet throws in references to the art of Yves Klein, the writings of Jules Michelet, and Georges Bataille, and gives the nod to the films of other auteur filmmakers. "
Trans-Europ-Express (1966)
"True to form, the film concludes with a double ending, two successive jolts whose ostensible purpose is to reinforce in the minds of viewers that what they've just been watching was never anything more than a fiction. "

I just realized I lost all the comments on my website.
This morning, I approved a new comment, went to check the page and noticed that the previous 3 comments have been deleted.
In 'Approved' comments on the dashboard, I only see the 1 comment approved this morning.
The other previously approved comments (that were posted on the website) are not to be found anywhere - not in spam, trash, pending or all.
I definitely did not misclick and erase them.
Any idea what I can do? Where did they go?
Is this a WP problem or a theme (Weaver) problem?

Westin Goes Wild With Signature Home Fragrance Collection
Can't get enough of that white tea scent of Westin? Wish you could bottle it and take it with you? Recreate that soothing space in the comfort of your own home? Well, now you can. Lucky guests no longer have to wait until their next travel getaway to get their fix of Westin's signature scent. White Tea by Westin features a luxurious 100 percent soy candle, gentle room oil diffuser and all-natural potpourri in its fragrance collection. According to the folks at Westin:
White Tea by Westin is a custom-designed scent that evokes the personality of the brand, elevates the senses and transforms any space. Highlighted with notes of geranium and freesia, the ingredients were carefully chosen because of their relaxing properties and are the result of almost a year of research and testing. The scent made its debut in the Westin brand's recent "This is How it Should Feel" print ad campaign that features a White Tea fragrance strip - the first time a hotel company used this type of execution in an ad campaign. It was then introduced in Westin Hotel lobbies around the world as part of the brand's new Welcome program which is currently rolling out across all hotels worldwide.(The smell evokes the personality of the brand? Ed. Insert joke here.) The Westin retail line also includes the Heavenly Bed and Heavenly Bath products, available through an in-room catalogue, website, and at Nordstrom's.

moreFor a number of reasons I am pleased that Elmar has asked me to write a foreword to this volume, which assembles together a number of pieces that he wrote over the course of the decade between 1997 and 2007. The first reason is that it gives me the opportunity to thank him for the work he has carried out so conscientiously and ably in his role as an economist working for the BIS. I would, however, be remiss if I did not also thank him for his earlier efforts, contributing in particular to the statistical output of the MED, and also the broader contribution he made as president of the Sports Club from 2004 to 2007. A second reason for being pleased is that the research contained in this volume was drawn from the period when I was chief of the MED and very much involved in discussions of the - portant issues to which these papers are directed. Time goes fast when one is busy, and it is all too easy to forget what was yesterday's central ques- on. This volume constitutes a kind of reintroduction to old friends, and that is always a pleasure. The papers in this volume are grouped into four time periods, during each of which Elmar had been given different responsibilities. The in- resting point is that, taken together, they imply an interest in essentially all the important topics of interest to the BIS. less

So, how's your season? *connects hose to tailpipe* That good, huh? Well, the end is near my depressed Razzballin' droogs. Some of us are prepared for the sprint to the finish and others are drinking too much Colt 45, screaming "Ike Davis" at confused strangers and assembling Fantasy Football draft boards in their tighty whities and Ken Stabler throwbacks. Speaking of which, everyone say hello to Sky. He's our Fantasy Football Czar and would like to meet your acquaintance here. If you've enjoyed our weekly jammer crammer sessions, once we wrap up this here baseball season in a pretty little bow, your humble Guru will continue jamming and cramming on Fantasy Football Island. So join a RCL League now. As for our fake baseball teams, how did you do? Taking a look at The Guru's collection of teams, I'd have to say it's been a satisfying season. Currently I'm staring at 10 firsts, 5 seconds and a third. 16 teams? Yes, I admit I do have a problem with moderation. Excuse me while I pour another scotch. Good morning. The areas that have been problematic for me this year have been steals and saves. SAGNOF! Injuries to Jason Motte and Joel Hanrahan certainly didn't help and had me scrambling to the waiver wire early and often for the likes of Koji Uehara and Rex Brothers. When it comes to steals, the early injury to Jose Reyes and now the suspension of Everth Cabrera put me in the SAGNOF hole. Ouch! Stay away from my SAGNOF hole, it's an exit not an entrance. As we enter the final three weeks of the regular season, here's hoping your season has been a success and all the credit can be heaped upon your motley crew of Razzballin' scribes. If you are out of it, damn the fantasy gods, troll Tehol on Twitter and let me pour you a tumbler of Islay. Enjoy and leave a comment below on the state of your season. It's time to jam it or cram it – SAGNOF! Part II: Red, White and Screwed.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Fantasy Baseball Buy/Sell
Hey, how are you doing? Good/Bad? That's good/bad. This is a beautiful/ugly morning/afternoon/night we're having! What great/lousy weather. I love/hate this time of year! It's like the beginning/middle/end of everything we love/hate. I remember when we went to (fill-in anecdote) and you said (search old emails for something they said). You are so smart/dumb about those things! I enjoy/hate your insight. Let's please/never talk again. Oops! I meant to paste in my generic buy on Brandon Belt that I do every year and instead you got my generic break-up/let's have sex email. Every year around this time, Brandon Belt ignites the furries in my nether regions and I go and tell you to pick him up. Here's an idea, maybe he's just a 2nd half hitter! I don't know, and it's not really pertinent right now. What is important is how he's hitting. Since the All-Star break, he's hitting .324 with five homers with all five of those homers coming in August, four coming in the last week. I don't know where I'm gonna fall on Belt next year. Right now, he looks like a solid sleeper, but he looks like that every August. None of that matters, grab him now if you're struggling at your corner infidel slot. He's bound to do well/poorly! Hey, I found my generic Belt buy post! Anyway, here's some more players to buy or sell this week in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
We are reaching that time of the baseball season where this series offers more of a prospective look. What I mean by that is that the players we look at from here on out may not contain any real-time analytical value. That's sort of of an eccentric way to say that it's too late for me to help you now. In fact, I was thinking of arugula when I typed that sentence. But it's never too early to begin and gather what we've learned from this year and apply to the next. Of course, we've been doing that with every single post, but the focus has been mainly on the now and soon-to-be now. The time has arrived when we can officially start laying our eggs in the proverbial futuristic basket. A robot basket, with The Matrix twins and lasers. Wait, is there a proverb that involves a futuristic basket? Virginity like bubble, one prick all gone. No, that's not it. Man who leap off cliff jump to conclusion. Eh, close enough. Today's focus is an interesting one — taking a player who has never really done anything great, but done a lot of things well, and when's he's done those things well, he's done it with multiple positions. That's what she said.
I speak of none other than Ben Zobrist. Now, as stated above, he brings a lot of things to a fantasy team. There's a mediocre batting average, a sprinkle of power and speed, multi-positional eligibility, and also consistency within all of those things. The old adage that when it rains, it pours, doesn't really describe the production you get there. Rather, you get The Drizzle.Please, blog, may I have some more?
The 2013 Fantasy Baseball season is heading into its stretch run and the playoffs are right around the corner. My fair Razzballers, it seems like only yesterday we were complimenting Grey's mustache and singing voice in exchange for roster autopsies, trade advice and grooming tips. We were all so young and naïve with big dreams for Ike Davis and Josh Rutledge back then. Now we are just bitter old men (and four ladies), wondering where it all went wrong and yelling at those kids to get off our lawn. If you're still in the fantasy hunt *high five/chest bump/headbutt* it's time to drop any dead weight still rotting on your roster. If you are out of it and still waiting for Josh Hamilton to carry your team, Sky would love to hear from you over on Fantasy Football Island. For the rest of us, we are either trying to hold onto first, grabbing some stats to gain on the leader or getting in position for the playoffs. There is no hope and loyalty left at this point in the season. It's time to drop the duds and find the studs that may carry you to a fantasy championship. It's time to jam it or cram it.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Common misconception, the A's know what they're doing. As of Thursday night, they didn't even know who was pitching on Saturday. Billy Beane told me confidentially, "I've been winging it for fifteen years. I just have a sex tape of Michael Lewis with a contestant from Flavor of Love, so it was write Moneyball or him and Deelishis would be all over the internet." A lot of sites are listing A.J. Griffin as Saturday's starter, but I have it on good authority that that (stutterer!) is incorrect. A's have Straily looking like a lesser-known Muppet Straggly, Alfredo Jettuccine has been getting creamed, Milone is in Sacramento saying to himself, "What have I done to deserve being sent to the Sacra-Ghetto?" and the whole staff needs a Colon cleanse. So, who's left? My almost-name-sharer and all-around Bubb Rubb-extraordinaire, Sonny Gray. He has nearly a strikeout an inning in Triple-A and a 2.74 FIP. (Yes, I only use FIP when an ERA doesn't back up my case as tidily. Leave me alone!) I don't love a start in Toronto, but if he stays in the rotation, the A's are about to get a great schedule at home. Even if it's not Saturday, Gray should be up shortly, and no that's not a height crack, but Gray is tiny. I will call him Mini Me even though he's taller than me. What? My photo is actual size. So, grab Gray now, because mother says you should buy Gray Gardens– I mean, Gray's starting. Anyway, here's some more players to buy or sell this week in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Has anyone noticed the year Derek Holland is having? This is me raising my hand. You can't see it, but you'll just have to trust me. I've noticed. And I'm sure those in Arlington have noticed. And perhaps even a Derek Holland owner here and there has maybe gotten a whiff of what he's cooking. Hopefully it's brisket. I mean, yes, he's certainly cooking some great pitching stats (3.18 ERA, 8 Wins, 135 K's) for teams throughout the fantasy baseball universe. But what I'm saying is, why can't he also be cooking brisket? Furthermore, why am I not cooking brisket? These are all fantastic questions. Does this have anything to do with baseball at all? Fantasy baseball even? No, it doesn't. So? I'm not even going to bother justifying it. It's brisket. I should be able to write in a superfluous fashion about that crispy burned concoction of cow breast, slowly cooked with a spicy yet savory rub… Mmmmmmm. Mmmmmmm. Err, you were saying? Derek Holland? Who the ef cares about Derek Holland? Brisket broPlease, blog, may I have some more?
John Rocker said baseball was "better with steroids." Sure it is, if you enjoy atrophic testicles and 980 foot home runs. Atrophic testicles are also available at Guy Fieri's American Kitchen. Winner, winner, gonad dinner. John Rocker loves his 'roids. He also said other incredibly "poignant" things that can be enjoyed in his new children's book, It's a Small World (Who Let the Asians in). Hey, I'm no literary critic and I'm certainly no doctor, I'm a guru dammit, but steroids are bad for your spunk tanks and bad for your fake baseball team. This whole Biogenesis thing is ugly, but the real tragedy is the impact on the fantasy universe! The steroid hammer of death is about to fall on the junk of Nelson Cruz, Everth Cabrera, Jhonny Peralta and of course John Rocker's new housemate on Spike TV's I'm a Celebrity Douche…Get Me Out of Here, Alex Rodriguez. Melky Cabrera and Bartolo Colon may have dodged the wrath of Bud, so light a candle, kick Melky to the curb and hold onto Colon for now. The rest will be gone for the year and sipping HGH fortified Manischewitz with the original fallen hammer, Ryan Braun. If you have not got a jump start on your league mates already, consider today's blog a syringeful of anabolic fantasy help. Hope we don't grow man boobs. Or maybe I do. It's time to jam it or cram it. We're on the juice!Please, blog, may I have some more?
I've started that dance with Xander Bogaerts. You know what dance I mean. The dance when you pick up, drop, pick up, drop, think about picking up then decide against it, go partially through with picking him up only to sit on your team page and not have anyone to drop…Then decide against it. That dance. The dance that any middle-aged man would do if he were in Morocco and not willing to pick a side because he'd only be fighting for a woman he banged in Paris and his only friend is some guy with bugged-out eyes. Every time I start the dance, Sam starts playing his piano and I'm like, "Play it again, Sam?" I say it in the form of a question so I don't get sued for copyright infringement. I've done that dance with Bogaerts for about a week. And I can't commit. *lights cigarette* Of all the waiver wire joints in all the fantasy leagues in all the world, he walked into mine. I'm only doing this back-and-forth dance with him because he's going to be so good and I know he's about to be called up. The Red Sox moved him to 3rd base in the minors just to give him a bit more flexibility to get him into their major league lineup. On Prospect Scott's top 50 minor league fantasy prospects, he was number one. Numero uno, the head cheese, the big mahoff. Between Double and Triple-A this year, he has 14 homers and 7 steals. That's solid for a prospect. For a 20-year-old, that's the sign of a future perennial All-Star. In all leagues, I'm going to be dancing with him until he gets the call. As I wrote this, I grabbed and dropped him two more times. If you have the room, stash him right now. He will be up within the next month and this will be the start of a beautiful friendship. Anyway, here's some more players to buy or sell this week in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
There's been much consternation going on around these parts ever since I ranked Chase Headley 34th in my Top 100 Keepers for 2013 and Beyond post that came out last week. Wait, is that the correct word? Consternation? Does constipation work better? There's been much constipation… hmmm. Decisions. Let's just go with both. Actually, now that I think about it, no one really cared about that ranking. However, there were some eyebrows raised at not including a second baseman, whose name rhymes with Rick Danklin. But I don't want to talk about him anymore. I already wrote about him here. ARE YOU NOT SATISFIED? And even though I also talked about Chase Headley in the same post, I want to examine him a bit further for a few reasons. And I also want to examine both your consternation and constipation. My friends call me 'H'. As in Preparation H. But not really. Not at all. This will never be mentioned again.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Bob Seger, Chevrolet's poet laureate, once wrote, "Who wants to play those eights and aces/Who wants a raise/Who needs a stake/Who wants to take that long shot gamble?" The tune was "Fire Lake" and while not his best, (Give me "The Famous Final Scene") or the best thing out of Detroit (give me The Stooges any day), I do like the line on taking a long shot. I'm a ramblin' gamblin' man. Recently we rolled the dice on Marlon Byrd and hit it like a hard ten/a woman's best friend (For all our Mormon readers, that's a good thing). Sometimes taking a chance pays off big and it's Cristal and caviar, sometimes you're busted and it's Pabst and pork rinds. We have taken our chances this season, often throwing stats and logic aside. I got a feelin'! Oh, it's just gas. Stupid pork rinds. Yes indeed, fellow Razzballer's, we had jammer/crammers that we hit on like Raul Ibanez, Nick Franklin and Koji Uehara. Others left us bankrupt. Damn you Ike Davis! I'm crying real tears over my fake baseball team here. It's time to take some risks and find us a longshot. Time to put on some Seger, don the Ray-Ban's and slide across the living room floor in our underwear. It's time to jam it or cram it.Please, blog, may I have some more?
