What is it about?

Who’s in it?

Steve Kaplan – Danny Stein

William H. Macy – Ernie Stein

Cheryl Hines – Beth Stein

Favorite Scene:

After moving into his new apartment after the divorce, Ernie Stein has Danny go into the other room and begins a sound test check system to see if you can hear noises through the walls.

Favorite Quote:

"We can't choose our memories. The best ones just happen. So what's the point of trying to create the perfect moment when the perfect moment is right now?"

Review:

Bart Got a Room is a clever, hilarious, and unique independent film. As seen with most independent films, Bart Got a Room is not high on special effects, deep scenery, and post-production, however makes up for it in dialogue, body language, and humor.

It is a film that is very funny depending on your humor, as it is filled with random occurrences, clever lines, and a plot that makes the viewer feel for Danny Stein and his problem of no date for the prom. Steve Kaplan does a fine job in portraying the down on his luck, Danny Stein, but William H. Macy as the recently divorced, wacky, yet very cool father steals every scene he is in.

Overall, Bart Got a Room is a decent movie that is interesting, however is nothing great to write home about. A movie that is just over an hour (79 minutes) that is sure to entertain with some humor, and in the end deliver a great message about life.

Grade: 2/5

Impact Wrestling Emergence 2022 Review: "...Just Solid - So Freakin' Solid."

It probably won't come as a shock to anyone who follows this blog that I will say the following statement: Impact Wrestling may just be the most consistently entertaining and fresh - very important adjective here! - wrestling product that I've engaged with over the past two years. It's just always there, as solid as it can be. No real highs, or lows that push me away as a fan - just good, consistent, thorough, solid pro wrestling enjoyment. Now, make no mistake about it, over the past summer, I found myself a whopping thirteen weeks behind this solid product in favor of the still new (and intriguing) AEW product and my on-again-off-again hope in the WWE due to nostalgia. However, trusty-work-from-home days have allowed me to binge watch (and work, of course) and it certainly opened my eyes to a new experience when it came to wrestling. Removal from the episodic style habit, and the feel of episodes bridging together seamlessly. Also, remove from the internet culture of we

Bound For Glory 2020 Review - If A Tree Falls And No One Hears It...

Television in 2020 has been weird. Check that. It's super weird. In a year marred by pandemics, death, catastrophe, and overwhelming heartbreak, the viewing habits of everything in entertainment has changed - wrestling included. Ratings are down. No one respects appointment television - and heck, there is even less need for the idea of watching content through said television. Where am I going with this on a Wrestling pay-per-view review? Come on, get to the point, bro! I haven't been shy in communicating my severe disappointment in professional wrestling (namely WWE) during this pandemic ( Pro Wrestling in COVID Times ). When many entertainment options were off the table, most notably that of sports, pro wrestling had an extreme opportunity to give fans something different, and even capture casual fans. Unfortunately, they didn't. And a large part of my growing disinterest with pro wrestling has been because of the WWE, and to a much lesser extent, AEW.

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 5/7/17

3 Up 1. Captured Girls Return - The evil that is the gross, disgusting, group that is Boko Haram released 82 of the 300-plus they kidnapped over a year ago. Many are still missing, but giving these girls a chance at life away from the clutches of this group deserves the plus this week. 2. Dear White People - I got around to checking out this show on Netflix and boy was I happy to do so. DWP is VERY thought provoking, truthful, honest, authentic, and yes, very funny. And it's a great show, visually. Can't wait for season two. 3. LeBron James - Because most of us are just waiting for the eventual Cavs/Warriors NBA Finals, we're losing sight of really how awesome LeBron James is. The dude really is the difference maker in this league. It's quite astonishing to think about. The Cavs are rolling, and he's just toying with opponents. 3 Down 1. Trumpcare - Look, I'm not going into this full on. But it just seems to me that this administration is

Would You Rather: Questions 81-90

81. Would you rather be 4'5" or 7'7"? I would prefer to be 7'7". On this weird spectrum, I'm already used to being taller than the average person. I can deal with the extreme height. It'll be nice to play some pick up basketball. 82. Would you rather be tall and fat, or short and well built? Tall and fat. I can always lose the weight. Plus, short and jacked dudes often have to fight the stigma of being jerks on first appearance. 83. Would you rather be poor and work at a job you love, or rich and a job you hate? Poor and work at a job you love. Take it from someone who has their dream job, the sense of purpose and peace of mind is indeed worth much.
