A long trek with Tolstoy

April 8, 2016 by Dave Knadler

I’ve spent the last couple of months reading “War and Peace.” Here’s my review: It’s pretty long. I started the book as sort of a lenten exercise. Instead of giving up something I loved, like wine and sloth, I decided to take on something laborious — not really realizing that this particular labor would […]

Holiday Bill is back

December 23, 2015 by Dave Knadler

By the way, if you haven’t seen “A Very Murray Christmas” yet on Netflix, we here at the Warehouse have given it four stars and demand that it be required holiday viewing for aging misanthropes everywhere. There’s something about Bill Murray’s face: Etched with disbelief at the way things have turned out, but with […]

Somethin’ from the oven

December 20, 2015 by Dave Knadler

I’ve come to hate reality TV, and by now I’m about half sick of cooking shows. So I’m trying to decide why I’m such a big fan of “The Great British Baking Show.” I’d say it was the British accents, for which I’m a sucker — but then Gordon Ramsay has one and his […]

Seinfeld cast in Monk's Cafe

Hulu finally got all the “Seinfeld” episodes. For the past week I’ve been watching a couple at a time, grazing through the seasons in hopes of finding one I may have missed. I’m starting to think I didn’t miss any — except for the notorious finale, which I still haven’t seen, lo, these 17 […]

Must-see mayhem

May 6, 2015 by Dave Knadler

HBO’s “Game of Thrones” is one of the few TV shows that is actually better than its source material. Have you seen it? It’s a festival of bare butts and broadswords, full frontal profanity and major characters dying horribly on a weekly basis. Gratuitous? Absolutely! And rollicking fun for the whole family! I watched […]

A vote for the Nazis

January 18, 2015 by Dave Knadler

man in the high castle scene

You may have heard that Amazon, in its bid to dominate even more of your life than Facebook, is now soliciting audience opinions on which shows it should develop. Right now there are about a dozen pilots, available here for free. To be honest, most of them look dreadful, but I did take a […]

Fun with vampires

September 27, 2014 by Dave Knadler

We all have our guilty pleasures, and one of mine at the moment is “The Strain,” the TV adaptation of the books by Guillermo del Toro. It’s all about vampires taking over New York City. It’s like “The Walking Dead,” except, you know, with vampires. And an evil presence orchestrating the whole thing. You […]
