Review:

Horrible Bosses is a surprising film. Surprisingly funny. The film during it's release and from its trailer, had that feeling of just another crash written, Hangover-styled, vulgar-filled attempt at comedy. However, while the film does include some of those traits which doesn't completely ruin the film, Horrible Bosses is a very funny film.

Where the film really shines is the chemistry between Jason Batemen, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis. Their ability to play off of one another seems natural, and creates an honestly funny movie. Add in supporting roles from Jennifer Anniston, Colin Farrel, and the always great, Kevin Spacey.

By no means is Horrible Bosses a contender for an Oscar, but if you have 98 minutes and looking for a good laugh, this film will not disappoint.

Grade: 3/5

WWE Wrestlemania XL Review: "I absolutely loved this Wrestlemania"

It's easy to get caught up and become a prisoner of the moment. Especially in today's world where the latest moment is ostracized, super-analyzed, and hyperbolized - it's very much the clickbait, social media, microwave society we live in. Yet, even after acknowledging that (as well as my Tribal Chief, of course), I still come to this feeling that Wrestlemania XL is one of the best Wrestlemania's, ever. Yes, ever! I don't need Triple H's metrics and benchmarks to influence me. No, no, no! In terms of hype, storylines, payoffs, match quality, and just overall fun - this entire weekend was amazing. I'm slightly skewed in my preference as well. This was my son's first Wrestlemania as a pro wrestling fan. Having him at my side cheering on his favorites, getting caught up in the drama, and even crying at the end of the night because his Tribal Chief lost to "that no good Cody" added to the overall appreciation of the event. So yeah, I have some

DP Review of the Alternate Knicks Orange Jersey

One of the good aspects about having a blog and being truthful and honest about it, is the hindsight thought process it provides. DP devotees already know how much I love my New York Knicks, and how excited I was about their new jerseys last year. It was a new look that was desperately needed ( DP Review On Knicks New Uniforms ). In reviewing those jerseys last year, I had the following comments in regards to then-rumors regarding the addition of an alternative orange jersey for the Knicks and overall NBA changes to the Christmas Day special jerseys: "As long as we do not add an "alternative jersey" (I read rumors of an orange one - woof!) (and the league-wide Spanish jerseys are fine). And please, please - PLEASE - let's finally do away with the awful green jerseys we feel the need to wear on Christmas and St. Patrick's day! Pretty please!"
