Top Music for 2011 – According to Chris

Last year, for the first time, I posted the Top tracks I had listened to in 2010.  This year I am going to give you a bit more.  This year I am listing the top individual tracks from 2011 and the top artists from 2011. Lets get things started with Individual tracks.  I figured the [...]

A Hidden Gem named “Hugo”

It was weird that I went to see Hugo with no preconceived notions.  Not because I hadn’t heard about it – although any information about it was very scarce.  It was because I heard about it over a year ago and totally forgot.  I walked in just thinking it was a cool period piece with [...]

Seeing a man named Sherlock about a horse

Everyone knows that the sequels are usually not as good as the original… right?  Most of the time that is true.  This time however, the second incarnation is actually better.  Sure, the critics and fans panned Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and many wrote at off a pale imitation of the last film.  I [...]

The mystery of the “Oh Henry!” bar is over

I posted this to facebook just a few minutes ago: Dawn and I had never tasted an, “Oh Henry!” bar so we decided it was high time we did. Meh… tastes like a cheap version of Snickers. Shortly thereafter, someone commented asking if I had ever tried a Zero bar?  My response was, “Never – [...]
