This Week’s Writings

At EntertainmentTell, I reviewed “The Great Gatsby.”

For GadgetTell, I write about a new study on airline passengers leaving their phones are.

And at Philly Post, I wrote about Al Gore being “Romney-rich.”

Tony Stark and Frank Luntz

Two new pieces of note this week: I reviewed “Iron Man 3″ for EntertainmentTell, and wrote about the Frank Luntz/Penn controversy for the Philly Post.

Highlights of this Week’s Writings

I had quite a prolific week of new writings.

For the Philly Post, I wrote about the FCC’s correct decision to not pursue fines after David Ortiz cursed on the air before the first post-bombing Red Sox game.

At EntertainmentTell, a ton of stuff: My essay on the Coexist sticker flap- with an Adam Carolla angle to fit the Entertainment part of the site, is here.

I also reviewed Michael Bay’s odious new movie “Pain & Gain,” as well as the documentary “Koch,” and I interviewed the director of the latter film (not, thankfully, the former.)

In addition, I wrote about the renewal of Parenthood, a particularly funny old Facts of Life clip, and the arrival of the complete Saturday Night Live archive on Yahoo.

Thanks for reading, everyone!

Last Week’s Leftover Writings

Last week I reviewed two different “mind-bender”-type movies, “Trance” and “To the Wonder.” I also wrote about a local professor who is putting a playable version of Pong on the side of a building, and wrote an essay about just how weird “Wayne’s World” was.

Three New Movie Reviews

This week I reviewed “Spring Breakers,” “Olympus Has Fallen” and “Admission.”

Roxy, Oz and More

Quite a few writings from this week, including:

- I wrote about the effort to revive the Roxy and Boyd theaters in the Philly Post this week. 

At EntertainmentTell, I reviewed “Oz: The Great and Powerful” and “Jack the Giant Slayer,” and wrote about the Ashley Judd boobs article. 

Love and Theft

I review two movies I didn’t particularly like- “Identity Thief” and “Side Effects”- at EntertainmentTell. I should have one more review up tomorrow.

“Amour”

I review the heartbreaking film at EntertainmentTell.

Talkin’ Movies

My appearance on WCHE last week can now be heard here. Thanks to the Morning Magazine crew and my colleague, Shawn Kotzen, for having me on the show.

Crowe, Thome and Te’o

Some new writings published this week:

On Philly Post, I discussed why Jim Thome might not make the Hall of Fame.

At EntertainmentTell, I review “Broken City,” and also broke down some past pop culture moments that were echoed in the Manti Te’o story.

I also appeared this morning to discuss the Oscars and other movie stuff on the Morning Magazine show on WCHE in West Chester. Podcast of that will be posted at some point I am told.
