Journey’s End Six years ago I sat down to watch the pilot episode of LOST. I didn’t know what to expect. The ads for it looked pretty good, exciting and full of adventure. Little did I know that I was about to embark on a six year journey. A journey that took me to a [...]
Well, it’s been two days since I sat down for the silliness that is “Hot Tub Time Machine.” I was planning on writing about the film immediately upon returning home, but I thought I should wait a day or two and let the experience sort of settle in my mind before I wrote it up. [...]
In the linked article is a very nicely written review of Jeff Bridges’ career by the man who inspired the Cohen brothers character “The Dude” from “The Big Lebowski.” Go on, have a read… this may just be Jeff Bridges year to take home Oscar: Jeff Dowd on Jeff Bridges: A unique American icon | [...]
Watch This: 70-Minute Video Review of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace | /Film. This is, quite possibly, the single greatest review of “The Phantom Menace” that I have ever seen. It’s pretty long, but it’s very irreverent and quite entertaining throughout. Some might even argue that it’s more entertaining than the film it is reviewing! [...]
So I took my mother to Broken Yolk in La Costa yesterday. She’d never eaten there before. It’s a great place for breakfast and lunch. If you’ve never been there I highly recommend it. Well as we are walking up to the restaurant my Mother blurts out, “Hey isn’t that? It is! Look David! It’s [...]

Stripes, Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, even Analyze This… such iconic, memorable films. Such wonderful humor. So much joy I’ve watched them all over and over and over again. Harold Ramis is resposible for those films, and many more including The Ice Harvest. Fantastic movies that have stood the test of time. What happened? Year One is [...]
Wow. This movie caught me completely by surprise. I loved it. The premise of the film is as old as any… boy loses girl. Boy tries to win girl back (sort of), boy meets new girl, new girl and boy fall in love, boy tries one last go at original girl only to realize it’s [...]
I haven’t said much on the blogs regarding my love of Star Trek. And I do love me some Star Trek! I don’t wander around wearing the costumes, and I’ve never made it to a Trek Convention. But I loved visiting Star Trek the Experience in Vegas, I’ve seen every hour of TOS, TNG, DS9 [...]
Guess it’s just that time of year… series are ending and that seems to be what I want to write about. This morning, thanks to the glory of HULU.com (yes, we’re aliens and that’s how we roll) I was able to catch the 2 hour series finale of ER. This show was a phenomenon in [...]
Ok, so I recently uploaded my old “Blogger.com” archive to davidsdawson.com. In it I found this piece I wrote in 2004 on “Eyes Wide Shut,” or more accurately on Stanley Kubrick. Have a look and let me know in the comments below what you think of “Eyes Wide Shut” or any of Kubrick’s other amazing [...]
Ok, this isn’t a movie per se…. but the finale was an hour and 35 minutes long (without commercials) and quite honestly it was better than a great deal of the features in the theaters today. For 5 years I have tuned in to this amazing show with excitement and wonder at how Ronald Moore [...]
I thought I could write about “What Dreams May Come” for this past weekend’s film review. I’m sorry to say, that just isn’t going to happen. Please! Don’t think for one second it’s because I don’t love this film (I do!) or because I’ve grown lazy about the reviews (I have not.) or anything like [...]
I’m a day or two behind getting to my movie review this weekend. I promise I’ll have it up as soon as I can get to it! PROMISE! It’s kind of a busy time for me right now. Serious. Cut me some slack!
This week’s movie will be: What Dreams May Come This Robin Williams film boasts some of the most innovative use of special visual effects ever put on film. It’s a tear jerker, and often very depressing… but stick with it folks! It ends well. This was also one of my Dad’s absolute favorite films of [...]
