The Critical Couch Potato: May 2013
http://criticalcouchpotato.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
The Critical Couch Potato. May 20, 2013. Available for Home Viewing: Reacher. Tom Cruise works as the eponymous hero, Jack Reacher, unless you've read the books. This is all pretty much consistent with Cruise's portrayal. The glaring differences, and I will cite the two I saw immediately are important. More than once he's staked out and single handedly ripped off a drug dealer's stash of cash. He is confident, yet not outwardly snarky or cocky. He simply doesn't do nonsense. Reacher's real asset though i...

Family: Dr. Steve's Change of Life
http://dcbentleyfamilystories.blogspot.com/2012/08/dr-steves-change-of-life.html
My family is unique, as is everyone's. We're not the cruelest, most vicious, odd or bizarre family you know, but we do have a lot of stories. Some interesting, some sad, some funny, some even tragic. Thursday, August 23, 2012. Dr Steve's Change of Life. Steve (standing), My lovely sister. My older brother, Steve, said he wanted me to write a blog about him. Actually he wanted me to write about his recent change in life and the day to day challenges it presents. The why’s and wherefores will not be ...

http://criticalcouchpotato.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
The Critical Couch Potato. Jul 5, 2012. On DVD Now: The Artist. Directed by Michel Hazanavicius. Produced by Thomas Langmann. Written by Michel Hazanavicius. Starring Jean Dujardin, Bérénice Bejo. Music by Ludovic Bource. Leaning out on the prow-like structure of anything, has the same effect. Another award-heavy movie, filmed in black and white, “Raging Bull” I actually went to see with some friends, but ended up walking out of it a third of the way in due to 'raging boredom'. I suspected as much. What ...

The Critical Couch Potato: April 2012
http://criticalcouchpotato.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
The Critical Couch Potato. Apr 4, 2012. On DVD Now: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. John le Carré can spin a whale of a cold war spy story. Take The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. For example, it doesn’t get much better. In his writing, le Carré fills the page with excellent prose, efficient, minimal dialog and he paints a dreary scene beautifully. He populates the story with a broad cast of characters, most of them minor, but none wasted. FLR-9 Antenna array, Misawa AB Japan. With the death of the old dep...

The Critical Couch Potato: Peter Pan LIVE!
http://criticalcouchpotato.blogspot.com/2014/12/peter-pan-live.html
The Critical Couch Potato. Dec 7, 2014. As it turned out, we watched it pretty much live, for background noise, as we spent the entire evening assembling a new TV stand/cabinet that we bought for our family Christmas present. It will replace the two Ikea tables the flat screen currently straddles. So while we sorted and laid out all the pieces and started the complex sub-assembly of doors and shelves, 'Peter. The second thing that I noticed was the music itself. All the songs sounded like they were c...

Family: Three grandmothers, Part II
http://dcbentleyfamilystories.blogspot.com/2013/04/three-grandmothers-part-ii.html
My family is unique, as is everyone's. We're not the cruelest, most vicious, odd or bizarre family you know, but we do have a lot of stories. Some interesting, some sad, some funny, some even tragic. Wednesday, April 24, 2013. Three grandmothers, Part II. When not qualified any further in my immediate family, means my maternal grandmother Mattie Rufus Dyer. She raised chickens for eggs and meat and would butcher them herself with an axe. Yes I recall the headless poultry flopping around in the snow.
