Winter in Maine can certainly be treacherous. While walking up Perham Street recently, listening to the 1911 Ada Jones and Billy Murray springtime hit “Come Josephine in My Flying Machine”, I happened to slip on some ice inconspicuously hidden under a blanket of fallen snow. In a twist of irony, I nearly went airborne upon […]

Movie Review: The Little Things
We all know that 2020 was a weird time for the movie business (as well as every other business), but the weirdness started back in January, before everything went haywire. “Bad Boys for Life” made $206 million at the domestic box office and wound up as the biggest theatrical release of the year. Obviously that […]

Energy Matters: Grid Adventures, Part 3
You’ve heard that knowledge is power. Well, we say knowledge of power is power. As our energy future comes into focus, we begin to understand that the future is all about electricity.

Movie Review: Monster Hunter
I should have reviewed this movie three weeks ago, when it was #1 in the country. But my weekend work schedule was just too tight, and I had to settle for reviewing On Demand release “Greenland” instead. I wrote at the time that “Greenland” should have been released in theaters, and now I can say […]

Movie Review: Promising Young Woman
I had particularly high hopes for “Promising Young Woman.” When I saw the first trailer in early 2020, my instincts told me that this was going to be one of the most exciting, unpredictable, maybe even terrifying films of the year. I made it a point to see the film on my 35th birthday because […]
