January is supposed to be a month of promise, renewed hope, vigour for whatever we care about. And yet, I haven’t stopped running since August of 2017, so I’m not feeling the temporary January endorphins this year. Which might actually be a good thing dear readers. Yes, I bought a house, and yes I got…
As a child of the eighties I had the great misfortune to have missed out on grindhouse cinema. Sitting in a theatre all day, watching raw and wriggling film seems like an excellent way to spend your time, but alas I will never get to have that experience. If only there were movies out there…
How does that old song go? The road is long, with many a winding turn, that leads us to who knows where, who knows where. A common theme in rock music, but one that only the worthy get to call their own. Luckily for us, this week’s review zeroes on one of those legends. The…
Not every story told follows the same narrative path as what preceded it. I mention this because Christopher Nolan has been directing movies since 1989 but it wasn’t until 2008’s The Dark Knight that we began to expect a certain tone from his films. Dunkirk (2017) Cast: Fionn Whitehead, Barry Keoghan, Mark Rylance, Tom Hardy,…
I love it when music gets you questioning the core of things. If an album can instantaneously shift my thoughts elsewhere, I know that it is moving, effective, and worth my attention. But yet, when it comes from a source that isn’t expected. N.E.R.D. – No_One Ever Really Dies released December 15, 2017 ******** 8/10…
Almost two years ago, I wrote a post entitled The Secret Genius (Attitude is Everything). It was a Wisdom Wednesday topic I wanted to broach about the importance of both vision AND application in becoming the “you” that you want to be in life. And yes, factors of genetics, ambition, effort, personality and environment are…
What do you do with a drunken sailor? What do you do with a drunken sailor? What do you do with a drunken sailor, early on the morning? You kick him to the curb and tell him to sober up. Geez. It’s not that difficult people. Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) Cast: Colin Firth, Julianne…
I’ve been humbled once again. I bought a record on a whim, made some initial judgments based on the cover art and what I heard as I listened for the first time to a lean thirty seven minutes of modern country music, except that’s not what this is, at all. It’s an escape plan marked…
I just came back from a fantastic date at the theatre – Star Wars Episode VIII was on the menu today; it was an early Christmas gift from my fiancee. Sweet deal right? As you may know by now, I love movies, and this was an ideal way for Mysticque and I to spend some…
If you can believe it, I have been quite busy these past few months, dear readers. I’m sure you’ve noticed this fact, given that timotheories effectively shut down in the month of August and didn’t return back to form until December, a solid four months later. This is largely due to two key reasons –…
