The Way Of The Shirey: REVIEWS

http://wayoftheshirey.blogspot.com/2008/12/reviews.html

Wednesday, December 10, 2008. I realize I’ve been slacking on the reviews, much to the shock and dismay of many of you. With the burning fire that was the election, getting out of active duty, finding out that my hell spawn is on its way to earth, and searching for a job, my writing time has been hindered. However, if I intend to make a living with my creative abilities then it would seem imperative that I take it upon myself to sharpen those tools. Directed by: Joel and Ethan Coen. It’s very much ...

The Way Of The Shirey: September 2008

http://wayoftheshirey.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html

Friday, September 19, 2008. A TALL TALE 2: EVEN TALLER. Let’s talk about continental breakfasts for a second. Usually, they are pretty scant; muffins, fruit, cereal, milk, yogurt.you know, the shit you normally eat at home for breakfast. Nothing fancy or sexy. So, to my chagrin, the Hampton Inn not ONLY. Has a strip club next door, but a kick ass continental breakfast to boot. Doughnuts, biscuits and gravy, eggs, sausage, bagels, and all the usual shit. Perhaps, I just need to get out more. Everyone is s...

The Way Of The Shirey: Movie Reviews and Oscar Commentary

http://wayoftheshirey.blogspot.com/2009/01/movie-reviews-and-oscar-commentary.html

Thursday, January 29, 2009. Movie Reviews and Oscar Commentary. OSCAR-BAITER or, why you should avoid the Oscars and see these movies instead. Ie awards season begins, many people are inundated with the pressure to see the films that are all the rave, all th. Ype, and all the buzz. Most average moviegoers never make it to more than one or two of these films, usually because they come to the realization that they don’. Oh, Hollywood, you can suck it. I shit talk the Oscars, the Golden Globes. Or, they&#82...

The Way Of The Shirey: April 2008

http://wayoftheshirey.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 20, 2008. Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead. Written and Directed by: Lloyd Kaufman. If you’ve never been exposed to the wonderful world of Troma, then this review will probably lose you very quickly and you’ll be wondering why the hell you have ever listened to any of my movie recommendations. Hopefully though, this will push you to experiment a little bit with your Netflix queue and give Troma a shot. Don’t worry, I’ll hold your hand through the process. It was only when she overhea...

The Way Of The Shirey: August 2008

http://wayoftheshirey.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Sunday, August 24, 2008. Many people don’t know this, but prior to joining the Army, my plan was to pack up my shit and take the high road to Hollywood. It was a final destination as far as my career choices go (although you wouldn’t know it since I’m so far removed at this point). However, I took a different path and so averted a “what might have been” scenario in the world of movie stars and freaks on a leash. So, naturally, the day was inevitable. This is a big thing for me, believe it or not. Time wi...

The Way Of The Shirey

http://wayoftheshirey.blogspot.com/2009/01/pineapple-express-reviewed-by-paul.html

Friday, January 09, 2009. Reviewed by: Paul Shirey. Seth Rogen, James Franco, Danny McBride, Gary Cole, Craig Robinson, Amber Heard, and Rosie Perez. DVD: 3.5 stars. WHAT’S IT ABOUT? Seth Rogen plays a dead-end stoner who witnesses a murder and pulls his dealer, played by James Franco, into the mix and on the run from a vindictive drug boss. IS IT A GOOD MOVIE? For you. It’s got the improv style comedy that’s been steamrolling through movies like this since Anchorman. Before it, Pineapple Express. With m...

The Way Of The Shirey: December 2007

http://wayoftheshirey.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html

Wednesday, December 19, 2007. As I explained in my earlier blog, I am going to continue to chronicle my exploits from the deployment here (and eventually, the totality of it all, as well as the previous five years of my military life, will be put together in a book). Today, it is especially important, not just for me, but for many. Today is the anniversary of a soldier’s death. That soldier is SSG Jacob McMillan. What struck me most about Mac was his professionalism. Mac looked like that heroic soldi...

The Way Of The Shirey: March 2008

http://wayoftheshirey.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

Sunday, March 30, 2008. Directed by: Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don’t Cry). Starring: Ryan Phillipe, Channing Tatum, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Timothy Olyphant. I was vehemently opposed to seeing this film once I heard of it and gave it the bad mouth treatment to all that would listen. The problem lies solely in the fact that since the war in Iraq, Hollywood has done nothing but get it wrong. I’ve shared my own perspectives to an extent on this site, but still haven’t delved into the worst of it. It is an eye-ope...
