As you will read below, Warner fits in perfectly with the common interests we like to discuss here on The Wise Guise and we are excited to have him join the roster! “We don’t even clap the same when we living that champagne life. Sexier than a regular clap.” – Ne-Yo I …

Movie Review: The Five-Year Engagement

Posted on by Joseph Williams in Featured, Movie Reviews, Movies | 3 Comments

The Five-Year Engagement: *** stars out of 4 What makes Judd Apatow and his crew’s films so good is often what also keeps them from being better. It’s the result of a balancing act that makes me respect and enjoy Apatow’s films so much for what they attempt, and yet often leaves me feeling like the films bit off more than they could chew. It’s an unfair criticism, I admit. The man who brought us TV cult hits “Freaks and …

Posted on by Clayton Martin in Basketball, Featured, Sports | 1 Comment

“If right now I had to stake my life on one team making the NBA Finals it would be the Memphis Grizzlies.” -Bill Simmons As some of you know, I work in the non-profit world. For non-profit organizations to survive it is essential to have a solid case for support together to share with prospective donors. Every charity organization is trying to do good in an area of need and they are all competing for the same dollars from prospective …

Aha! I bet I had most of you wannabe film buffs thinking I was only suggesting things you’ve seen!

This guest post comes from Memphis, TN native Warner Russell (@uncle_warny). We are glad he joined us for a post even if we are totally going to judge him for the contents of his post. Enjoy!

Tuesday’s With Tony: Tony Steals The Show

Posted on by Colin Stovall in Basketball, Featured, Sports, Tuesday's With Tony, Weekly Posts | 1 Comment

Here’s a fun and easy transition for my night. I spent hours studying for and insurance test, then wrote a blog post about Tony Allen. That transition went about as well as this clever pun not inserted here, which was intended to be, but my brain hasn’t allowed the funny part to be turned on just yet. Yes, I know several of my readers have already clicked away by now. But for those of you still here, I thank you. …

TV Review: Veep

Posted on by Clayton Martin in Featured, Television, TV Reviews | 2 Comments

For back-to-back weeks HBO has unveiled new comedies. Both weeks the shows were driven by female lead characters. And both weeks the shows were very funny. Welcome to the post-Bridesmaids world. I for one like the trend as I actually think women have a higher capacity for new humor these days. Men have been making crude jokes on television for a long time. It’s hard to make improvements there. However women are having a comedic coming out party and I’m …

For the next several weeks, I’m in that terrible time known as law school final exams. While I’ve been blissfully denying any pressure until now, now is the time I have to catch up and prepare. So while I sadly have no time to mine the depths of the next Boy Meets World episode for Feeny wisdom, I can take a much-needed break from the library and find inspiration and motivation from YouTube. So I share with you, this very …

Welcome to the first Wise Guise Google Search Fun Bag. This post derives from the myriad of “google searches” that led people to our blog. So why not make a blog post about it? We don’t know who searched what or even what page it led them to, just that they googled the term and it led to a link to our site. We will either give our commentary or hypothetical scenario on why a particular phrase was searched. Hey, …
