Pappy Boyington Field (DVD Review)
by: ChrisYogerst
We all know that Hollywood gets excited about patriotic stories in the same way most of us get excited about going to the dentist to get a cavity filled. Therefore, it helps to look outside of tinsel town to find a story about a real American hero.
First time filmmaker Kevin Gonzalez set out to shed [...]

Not My (Captain) America!
On February 11, 2010 at 9:42 am
Captain America, arguably, is the most patriotic of comic book superheroes. He’s also, historically, the most political. Created in 1941, as a regular Joe (well, actually, Steve) the character tried to enlist in the Army, got rejected, and was so determined to fight the Nazis he signed up to become the supersoldier we know him [...]

The Blind Side: Inspiring, Illuminating and Instructive
On at 5:30 am
As someone with a strong aversion to liberal orthodoxy — no matter how subtle — masquerading as entertainment in major motion pictures, I can count on my hand the number of yearly visits I make to the movie theater. Contrary to popular media opinion, even politically astute conservatives enjoy a little escapism every now and [...]
“Dear John” (Film Review)
On February 10, 2010 at 6:00 am
** (out of 4 stars)
Starring: Channing Tatum, Amanda Seyfried
Director: Lasse Hallström
Rating: PG-13 (for some sensuality and violence)
“Dear John” is nothing to write home about. It is the latest movie based on a Nicholas Sparks novel, but it just doesn’t have the cast or emotional pull of “The Notebook.” Still, it is an okay film if [...]
A Look at the Super Blah Ads
On February 9, 2010 at 9:19 am
For two years running, the game has been more exciting than the ads. Good for football, not so good for those of us who watch for the ads.
As a hardworking humorist (check out my web site, The Endive (Cha-ching!)) who has worked in advertising, I don’t have much patience for a company who blows a [...]
A Posh View
On at 8:12 am
To say that Victoria Beckham is trying on a less spicy career compared to The Spice Girls is debatable. Her new gig on the View promises to be just as palatable.
After the most successful Spice Girl did a guest spot as a judge on American Idol, Victoria Beckham is foraying into the arena of talk. [...]
LADY ANTEBELLUM – “Need You Now” (Music Review)
On at 7:57 am
*** ½ (out of 4)
Label: Capitol Nashville
The first “must have” country music album of 2010 has been released. It is “Need You Now” by Lady Antebellum.
But if you don’t consider yourself a country music fan you will probably enjoy it just as well. There’s something for almost anyone to like in this album; sentiment as [...]
They Are The World? Really? On What Planet?
On February 8, 2010 at 9:14 am
If “they” are the world, please stop the world and let me get off. Yes, I understand that it’s all for a good cause, but there are some other things about this self-important orgy that simply have to be said.
This week, 80 music celebrities (and a few bonafide musical artists) gathered at the same Hollywood [...]
Moving Beyond The Mafia
On at 7:57 am
Author’s Note: I originally wrote this piece about a year ago, but with all of the controversy surrounding the new series, Jersey Shore, it seemed like a timely addition to the conversation. In full disclosure, I’ve never actually seen MTV’s reality television series, although I’ve read many differing critiques.
Surprise! Most Americans of Italian descent speak [...]

Parcbench Welcomes Bobby F-ing Steele!
On February 5, 2010 at 2:55 pm
Hi… I’m Bobby Steele… or, as my critics like to call me “Bobby F***ING Steele”. I’ve been invited to write for Parcbench, and I intend to share with you my personal experiences, as well as opinions on many aspects of life – as seen through the eyes of a SURVIVOR.
Most people only know me as [...]
