Movie Review/’Cocaine Bear’
A lot of the reviews I’ve seen for “Cocaine Bear” contain some variation on the line, “This movie delivers exactly what it promises.” I’m going to say that’s not entirely true. To be sure, there is a bear high on cocaine in this movie. Nobody is going to say that this movie delivers less than […]

Movie Review/’Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’
I suppose it’s appropriate that movies starring Ant-Man aka Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) have always been rather “small” in the scheme of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Yes, he showed up for Captain America in 2016’s “Civil War” and played a role in saving the universe in 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame,” but those were parts of a […]

Energy Matters: Energy intensity matters
As you’ve probably noticed, we’re in the midst of a worldwide energy transition from carbon-emitting fuels to green renewables.

Movie Review/’Magic Mike’s Last Dance’
I had never seen a “Magic Mike” movie before “Magic Mike’s Last Dance.” The franchise’s first two installments both missed out on the domestic box office crown in their respective opening weekends in 2012 and 2015, thus not warranting reviews from me. Ironically, “Last Dance” made less money in its opening weekend than either of […]

Backyard Reflections
The Ecology of Bark Shark sliver clouds raced over the horizon. Temperatures were in the forties when my dogs and I took an unfamiliar trail that had been packed down by machines. It is mid – February – I note that the buds on trees and bushes are already swollen and have been for about 10 days. Not a good thing. Wandering among […]
