There are four things in my life that I refuse to start doing because I’m afraid that I might not ever stop doing them if I start, and I already have enough bad eating habits. But after I downloaded Pokémon GO to my cellular-tellular, it soon became obvious that there should have been five things on my personal list of forbidden fruit. … read more

I met Greg a few years ago while riding the dirt jumps in Park City. My initial impression of him was a guy who didn’t say much and shredded hard. Later that summer, he started talking to me and I found a good-humored, friendly guy behind the stoic veil. … read more

Morris from America – A24

I kicked myself for not checking out Morris from America at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Now that I have had the opportunity to see it, I understand why so many people were talking about it. It’s a poignant look at cultural differences, hip-hop and the relationship between fathers and sons.
