Film Reviews30 Aug 2006 09:48 pm

This page is dedicated to assorted ramblings about film. The pieces may or may not actually review the films that they discuss. They are in no way meant to recommend that you see the film, nor am I going to try to steer you away from something that you really want to see. The films I write about are just as likely to be something I saw on television at three in the morning as they are to be new releases. They may offend some, and they may be poorly written; they may even be incomprehensible to those of you that don’t know me, personally. I may indeed give away surprise endings and, if pressed to do so, I may write about a film that I haven’t seen. That being said, shall we proceed?

Congratulations to Scott Prior who recovered from a tough weekend of mechanical failures and obstacle avoidance issues to take the title at the 2006 Seneca Grand Prix.

Scott has progressed behind the wheel quite a bit this season culminating in back-to-back victories at the third and forth events of the series.
