I was excited to get back out to the theater for family movie afternoon. We bought matinee tickets to How to Train Your Dragon, 2 adults and 1 child. Total $21.00. Kind of expensive, but we don't go to the movies very often, so I had a budget of $40 for the… Continue reading
Watching the Detectives is a weird movie, and it might not necessarily be a good movie. But damn if I didn't enjoy the heck out of it, just for the lovable Lucy Liu. Liu plays a somewhat stalkerish crazy-ass but adorable girlfriend who torments new… Continue reading
I finally broke down and watched Twilight this week. Yes, has it been almost 2 years since its release? I gotta say, this movie held my interest for the 2 hours it ran.. but just barely. Not much happens in this film at all. But as I watched Twilight I… Continue reading
So I caught Fighting on one of the movie channels this week and thought it was surprisingly good. While the movie may have been lighter on the "fighting" than I wanted, there were 3 ½ really good fights. Every fight utilized the environment of each… Continue reading
I have owned a Mac for 6 years. It was a tube E (educational) iMac. Because of that, after 6 years, the tube was having issues. If it entered sleep mode, it wouldn't wake up. If I tried to switch from one account user to another, I'd get a blue screen of… Continue reading
Where the Wild Things Are was rated PG. I was wondering whether to let my 4-year-old son watch it, didn't know if he would sit through a live-action movie, and wasn't quite sure why it was PG. But ultimately, my wife and I felt that our little monster might… Continue reading
So today I'm trying to wrap my head around moving my little entertainment stand out of the living room, while me and the mrs. will be having carpet installed on Friday. The good news, with the advent of the flat screen TV, huge entertainment centers are a… Continue reading
Go by your local grocery store or Walmart today, and I just bet you will meet your Pusherman. Now I say this after finishing off a box of caramel delites, but don't you agree your local girl scout is taking all the cash out of your wallet? Everybody has their… Continue reading
The world is in short supply of true badasses of the television and silver screen. The 80's was chock full of them, but nowadays I find very few that meet my standards. I honestly only held Horatio Caine of CSI: Miami and Michael Weston of Burn Notice as the… Continue reading
In my spare time when my son is preoccupied, I pull out my handy dandy Nintendo DS. That's how I game. All Nintendo Ds games.. most of them are J-RPGs, all the time. I'm 35 years old. Usually that's not that big a deal, but in November I went to the Gamestop… Continue reading
Back in the 90's when I played Street Fighter II, my friends would so-du-ken the shit out of me with Ken and Ryu, as I played with Chun-Li and her spinning bird kick. She is one of my favorite characters from the Capcom series. So when I had the opportunity… Continue reading
Last week the internet had a lovefest with Nicolas Cage as Everyone. It's funny because I had just watched two of his movies in a row: Bangkok Dangerous and National Treasure 2. It seems most people either love or hate Nicolas Cage, and I'm in the camp that… Continue reading
