Summer Movie Reviews

August 9, 2010

I feel like this summer of movies started off slowly and didn’t really pick up until Toy Story 3 and Inception were released, but maybe I just wasn’t full-bore with the movies until the middle of the summer.

Jersey Shore: Season 2, Episode 2

August 7, 2010

You know what? I love MTV’s Jersey Shore. It’s fantastic. I fell for the “it’s so bad, it’s good” categorization of Jersey Shore during its first season, but I’m no longer in denial about how terrific the show is.

A night at Ripken Stadium

August 2, 2010

Ripken Stadium, home of the Short-Season Single-A Aberdeen IronBirds, is only 10-15 minutes away from my house, so my dad and I have a nine-game plan every season. It’s always a great time at the park — very mellow. A lot of families are at the park, but my dad and I are there because we [...]
