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 | The Big [...]
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!
Have a [...]
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 him!”
Obviously [...]

This is so sad. One of my favorite filmmakers has now passed.
You can read my review of “The Breakfast Club” to get a sense of how much I enjoyed John Hughes and his films.
And follow the link below to read what Quint at “Ain’t It Cool News” has to say about the departed Mr. Hughes.

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 the first truly disappointing [...]
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 new girl he [...]
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 the mid [...]
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 films!
“A [...]
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 and [...]
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 that.
No, [...]
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 all time and [...]
The Princess Bride
Directed by Rob Reiner
Written by William Goldman – based on his 1973 novel of the same name
This film is number 50 on Bravo’s “100 Funniest Movies” and number 88 on The American Film Institute’s (AFI) “AFI’s 100 Years… 100 Passions” listing the 100 greatest film love stories of all time.
I think, one of [...]
The Princess Bride
Insanely quotable, infinitely enjoyable. Look for the review to drop this weekend!
John Hughes.
If you don’t know his name, you most likely know and love his movies already.
If you are a fan of “The Breakfast Club”, and I don’t know anyone in their 30’s or 40’s who isn’t… then you are probably also a fan of:
Sixteen Candles
Pretty in Pink
Ferris Buehller’s Day Off
Some Kind of Wonderful
Weird Science
I’ll admit [...]
Just a quick update… this week’s movie is “The Breakfast Club.” Watch for the review tonight!
