Dome Pondering Movie Review: Girl Most Likely (2012)


What is it about? 

A woman comes to grips with realizing that her big break in the playwright industry has faded, and must learn to make make the transition. 

Who is in it? 

Kristen Wiig - Imogene

Annette Bening - Zelda

Matt Dillon - George 


Favorite Scene: 

After dining out the location of their father, Imogene, Lee, and Ralph head to New York City to meet him. What ends up happening on their trip is rather hilarious. 

Favorite Quote: 

Imogene: I'm going to go lay down for two minutes, excuse me.
[Leaves table]

Virginia: It's so sad - how long has she had her drinking problem?

Ralph: Like, two days.

Review: 

I stumbled upon this movie searching for something to put on the other monitor as I completed some work that I brought home from the office. Surely enough, Amazon Prime gave me this wonderful choice which actually surprised me. Quite frankly, much of the options are often very, very bad. Again, Girl Most Likely was not so much. 

Girl Most Likely was very funny, and as always, the character of Imogene was perfect for Kristen Wiig to take on, who does the down-on-her-luck deal so well (see: Bridesmaids). 

The characters are what drives this film, and it's worth the watch just because of that. The plot is a bit weird, but the characters themselves keep you invested with wit and some zaniness that's very entertaining. 

All in all, it's a decent watch, and surely above the other options on Amazon Prime. 

Grade: 2/5

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!"
