We at the Ze Cat offices love Chicago. LOVE the place. We have since we were kids, back in the 80s and 90s, when Ryne Sandberg was the best baseball player on the planet, Walter Payton was the best running back alive and Michael Jordan was the best basketball player of his time – maybe [...]

PT Anderson

by Greg W. Locke June 27, 2011

Yesterday was, as one of our friends and favorite readers pointed out, auteur Paul Thomas Anderson’s 41st birthday. To me, a 31-year-old cinephile who fell hard for PT’s first wide feature, 1997′s Boogie Nights, PT is one of the great artists of his time. In 1995, at the tender age of 25, he filmed his [...]

Top 50 Romantic Comedies

by Greg W. Locke June 21, 2011

In the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, back when cinema was very influenced by theater, romantic comedies were big business.

Our Top 30 Talented Beauties of 2011, Pt. 1

by Greg W. Locke June 1, 2011

For starters, it must be said that I feel very weird about this. Very weird. The idea dates back five or six years, when my then – and still – girlfriend told me to make a list of my celebrity crushes – ranked, natch. Innocent fun while having some drinks and hanging out, that’s all. [...]

Oscar’s Biggest BP Blunders

by Greg W. Locke May 8, 2011
