In Bruges nails four stars

In Bruges You may know that Bruges, Belgium, is pronounced “broozh,” but I didn’t, and the heroes of “In Bruges” certainly don’t.  They’re Dublin hit men, sent there by their boss for two weeks after a hit goes very wrong.  One is a young hothead who sees no reason to be

Cruel and crullers In high school and college I was really overweight. I started losing weight and found a great guy online. During the year we talked, I went from size 18 to size 12, losing 80 pounds. When we met, I was a little overweight, but in my best shape

Westgate Inn

If I were a candy bar, I’d be a Snickers.  And if I were a coffee drink I’d be an Americano.  But if I were a dive bar, I’d be Westgate Inn. Bandito Betty and I have never had as much of a good, good time as we did on Tuesday

Brilliantly discomforting

Gabita is perhaps the most clueless young woman to ever have the lead in a movie about her own pregnancy. Even if you think Juno was way too clever, two hours with Gabita will have you buying a ticket to Bucharest for Diablo Cody. This is a powerful film and
