Location : Greenwood, IN

came to this store on my very fist visit to Indianapolis in June of 2003, and have been a regular customer since. Although the employees and crowd can be the anti hygiene kind of crowd, everyone there is still very helpful and they usually have anything you need in stock or will gladly order it for you if they don’t.

Comic Store : Dee Puppy Comics

Rothe Blog Comic Dee Puppy

Location : Indianapolis, IN
Dee Puppy was a comic book store that I visited once a couple of months after we moved to Indianapolis. I figured that it would be one of usual causalities when exploring a new place. The store was a dump, with boxes everywhere blocking most importantly, anyone from getting to the new comics.

I had no intentions of ever going back there, figuring that whoever ran the store didn’t care enough about their business to make an effort …

Guarding Tess (1994)

Rothe Blog Guarding TessThree Stars

We wanted to see this movie after playing Scene It. I think I had seen it before, but it was a long time ago. I expected a comedy, it was closer to a drama really than a rip roaring funny movie.

Starring Nicolas Cage and Shirley MacLaine, Cage is a secret service agent who feels he has the worst job in the government security arena, guarding a old, hateful woman, the widow of a president,

The Longest Yard (2005)

Walking Tall (2004)

Walking TallThree and a Half Stars

Starring The Rock, Johnny Knocksville, and Neal McDonough this is a remake of an older movie. The idea is that The Rock was in the armed service for eight years, and when he comes back, he finds his home town overrun with gambling, drugs, and prostitution. The law is in on it, so he decides to take the law into his own hands and set things right.

I like The Rock. He isn’t

Kingdom of Heaven (2005)

Starring Orlando Bloom, Liam Neelson, and Eva Green, I was kind of lost through most of this movie.

Set around 1100-1200 A.C. during the Crusades, Bloom is the bastard son of Neelson with the right to his wealth and noblesman lifestyle, which also involves protecting the king to his death. Looking for answers to faith, which is the underlying base in every aspect of this movie. The king, and the Christians, own and live in
