The Other Woman (2014)

April 7, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

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...]

Wordplay (2006)

April 1, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

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)

March 30, 2020 by Steve 4 Comments

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...]

The Women (2008)

March 13, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

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...]

The Quiet (2005)

March 9, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Shhhhh The Quiet, 2005 You’ve likely never seen The Quiet, nor have you likely even heard of it. It did have a national theater release and it wasn’t universally panned, but The Quiet was just a quiet little movie. It’s also very disturbing on a few different levels and most importantly for us, the whole thing … [Read more...]

CT Books, Movies, People, & Stories

March 6, 2020 by Steve 2 Comments

Connecticut Books, People, & Essays I probably shouldn’t have ever begun reading and writing about Connecticut books. It’s just one of those lists that I can’t possibly “finish” in any meaningful way. But that’s fine, I don’t mind. If you’re is into books, I also review non-Connecticut hiking books and the Modern … [Read more...]

The Stepford Wives (1975)

February 28, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

How Dar-ien You The Stepford Wives, 1975 Rare is the movie or book (both, in this case) that creates a new, universally used way to describe something. Sophie’s Choice was certainly one. The Stepford Wives is another. I remember listening to Howard Stern in the 1980’s and 90’s talking about his ex-wife’s circle of … [Read more...]
