Word Up Wordplay, 2006 Full disclosure: I'm a New York Times crossword fanboy and have been for decades. Therefore, any halfway decent movie featuring the NYT crossword will be considered excellent by me. That reminds me of an old beer review I wrote about a beer called “Blanc de Blanche" by Overshores Brewing. … [Read more...]

Bristol Boys (2006)
Bristol Deserves Better Bristol Boys, 2006 Which one of you said I should review Connecticut movies? Because whoever you are, your suggestion then led to a friend making me aware of the 2006 independent film, Bristol Boys. And now I’m just mad at you all. Because this movie suuuuuuuuuuucks. The whole … [Read more...]
Maui
Wowie Maui, Hawaii May 2005 Exactly two years after our honeymoon to Hawaii (Kauai, Big Island, Oahu), Hoang's performance at work earned her a trip to Maui. Yes folks, your generous Aetna premiums in the early to mid 2000's helped the company pay for a couple hundred or so top performers and their spouses to stay … [Read more...]
Seabury Wildwood Trails
Keeping Bloomfield in Control Seabury Wildwood Trails, Bloomfield April 2015 & March 2020 You won't believe this, but this property took me three visits to complete all of its trails. Three!

Book Review: Traveler’s Guide to Western New England and the CT River Valley
No One Cares About the Gold Coast Anyway Traveler's Guide to Western New England and the CT River Valley Tim Mulligan, 1994 This review completely ignores the non-Connecticut portion of the book.

The Women (2008)
Nope The Women, 2008 When I began formalizing my list of Connecticut movies, I had to leave off a ton of pre-1950 or so options - simply because there's no way I can find them to watch. You'd probably be surprised at how many old movies take place in Connecticut. The Women is a poorly conceived 2008 remake … [Read more...]
