Chef (2014)

UGH! So Disappointing!!

[2/10 · 30 July 2014]

I love to cook and enjoy a good movie about chefs, cooking and food. There are some great ones out there. This is not one of them. In fact, it should go down in history as one of the more worthless food movies off all time.

I really was expecting something more significant from Jon F., and it COULD have been. It seems like Jon wrote this in an afternoon and shot it in a week. The plot was so thin you could see through it in a dark room. Worst of all, it made no sense. I will spare the spoilers on the off chance you are trapped in a room with nothing else to do and no way to turn this off but I would rather watch grass grow. Give it a little more effort next time Jon... please.

So much wasted potential.

The Shield (2002–2008)

The best series ever written

[10/10 · 17 November 2009]

The Shield is not for everyone. My wife, for instance does not like violent TV shows. The Shield is raw, violent and full of incredible suspense and intrigue. A good friend of mine recently turned me on to the Shield and I will forever be grateful. I travel quite a lot and watched all 100+ hours of the Shield while on the road. I could not wait to get to the next episode. During a recent 2 week trip to India, I did not turn on the TV one time. I watched a episode or two of The Shield every night and a whole season each way on the plane. There is a lot of debate about the ending, which I thought was perfect. It's difficult to end such an epic saga but these guys did it about as good as you can. The Shield is life changing. Not all for the good.You should be prepared to be affected by this thing. It's gritty but in the same way that A Clockwork Orange is gritty. The difference is that this lasts for a long, delicious time.
