The Lifeguard (2013)
Zero Life The Lifeguard, 2013 "The Lifeguard is a painfully dull (alleged) drama utterly lacking in originality or self-awareness," said Jordan Hoffman of Film.com who gave the film a 2.7/10. I should have listened to Jordan Hoffman. I like Kristen Bell. She seems like a good egg, and I really love "The Good … [Read more...]
Rising Star (2013)
A Long Walk... Rising Star, 2013 This movie is no longer available on YouTube. You lose. Rising Star is not a good movie. And yet...

Keney Memorial Clock Tower
Keney Memorial Clock Tower Hartford 130 feet tall It is the rare list on CTMQ that I know I'll never "complete" in a way that feels complete.

Hartford’s Flatiron Building
"I'm Still Standing..." Hartford's Flatiron Building 529-543 Ann Uccello Street There's really nothing very interesting about this building at all. Just being honest.

Fake House of West Hartford
Trick or Treat! West Hartford Data Center 130 South Main Street See this picture of this house? It's just a house. Not a very attractive house, but a regular ol' West Hartford house. A house that any neighborhood kid would approach on Halloween for some candy, right? Wrong! I don't remember where I learned … [Read more...]
The Bunny Fountain
Trippy Bunny Fountain, Trumbull I have a good friend who used to live in Trumbull. When I put together my Trumbull Town Guide, he alerted me to the Bunny Fountain. He wondered, how could I not include the Bunny Fountain on my list of everything in the town of Trumbull? So I put the Bunny Fountain on my list. … [Read more...]
The Other Woman (2014)
The Other Other Woman The Other Woman, 2014 In a strange happenstance, the last "Connecticut" movie I reviewed was called "The Women" It was awful. The Women features a well-dressed steely woman from New York City (Annette Bening) and a preppy housewife with a cheating husband who live in a giant house in … [Read more...]
Winchester Soldiers’ Monument
Winchester Soldiers' Monument Winchester (Winsted) Stone Tower (44 feet) Are you ever remotely curious about how CTMQ... "happens?" No? That's fair. I was merely going to mention that I visited this monument for the express purposes of this here website on September 2nd, 2013. Labor Day. At that time anyway, the … [Read more...]
