Speed Reading Connecticut Created Cars By Paul Pellerin I read this book in about 20 minutes while standing at Bloomfield's Prosser Library one random weeknight after work. I had been looking for something else, saw this, pulled it out of its slot and said to myself, "Hm, I can 'read' this book in 20 minutes and … [Read more...]
Beetlejuice (1988)
Third Times a Charm Beetlejuice (1988) Arguably the most well-known and certainly one of the most watched Connecticut movies. Oh? Did you forget Beetlejuice takes place entirely in the fictitious quaint little village of Winter River, Connecticut? You shouldn't have forgotten, especially if you're a resident … [Read more...]
The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia (2013)
A Connecticut Yankee in Hee Haw's Barnyard The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia (2013) I can't think of too many movies where you absolutely know going in, based on the title alone, you will hate yourself for watching it. Such was the case with The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia. Not only … [Read more...]
The Other (1972)
The Twinning The Other, 1972 I simply cannot read every "Connecticut book," nor do I want to. However, I certainly plan on reading one or two of Thomas Tryon's novels. The son of Arthur Lane Tryon, owner of Stackpole, Moore & Tryon in Hartford, Tryon grew up in Connecticut and went on to be a moderately successful … [Read more...]
The Preppie Connection (2015)
Cocaine, Sage, Rosemary, and Doin’ Time The Preppie Connection, 2015 Nothing you’ll read below will be anywhere near as good as that title above, so you might as well quit now. My only hope is that what I write is better than the movie I watched. A movie that was “inspired by actual events." Actual events … [Read more...]
Book Review: Empire of Pain
Genocidal Sociopaths Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty By Patrick Radden Keefe I don't know how I decided I wanted to read this book. For one, I was able to without tears or breaking stuff. I've not been personally touched by any opioid addiction. Not in my family, and not by any close … [Read more...]
Book Review: The Night Before
Let's Do the Twist The Night Before By Wendy Walker The most impressive bit about The Night Before is the author, Wendy Walker. I don't know her, but I know someone who does (which prompted me to read this book) and her life's path to arrive at being a best-selling author is impressive. Walker holds degrees … [Read more...]
Book Review: Newtown: An American Tragedy
Can't Do It Newtown By Matthew Lysiak I can't read this book. I tried. Then I tried skimming. I'd read a paragraph here or there and it would just wreck me. I honestly don't know who can read this whole book. Lysiak is a good writer and he does his best here, but it's just brutal. The book's first pages tug … [Read more...]

Stepford Wives (2004)
Step Away... Very Far and Very Fast Stepford Wives, 2004 My god, what hath they wrought? The remake of the 1975 classic movie is a complete waste of time and writing about it is even more of one. But... here we are anyway. Nicole Kidman, Glenn Close, Christopher Walken, Matthew Broderick, Bette Midler... okay, … [Read more...]
