Last week was a big two movie week for me, I snuck out and saw Wanted by myself, and we took Kaylin to see Wall-E, which I believe based on her constant talk about Wall-E since, is her all time favourite movie.
Wanted currently holds the title of second best comic movie (after Iron Man) of [...]

Movie Review: The Incredible Hulk

In: Media

Char and I went out to see the Incredible Hulk on Monday night, and while it’s definitely a better overall movie than the first film version of the Hulk was, this was still a fairly weak comic book adaptation.
Hulk is a pretty easy concept to get right, and the whole “man on the run” part [...]

Movie Review: Southland Tales

In: Media

Donnie Darko is one of my top ten favourite films of all time. Director Richard Kelly managed to tell a story that had several layers, plenty of intrigue, and just enough science to make the fiction believable. His director’s cut was a little ham fisted, with unnecessary exposition and extra bloat that makes [...]

Canadian MPP Jim Prentice is about to introduce a new copyright protection law into the House of Commons. This law is said to be more restrictive than the US DMCA law which has allowed the recording industry to sue itself into obscurity, and has let the MPAA put blinders on and decide that they [...]

George Lucas once again proves how lucky he was with the first three Star Wars movies, and Steven Spielberg proves how bi-polar he is with their latest collaboration Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
George Lucas was the man who once upon a time brought us American Graffiti. Steven Spielberg is the [...]

I call it…the monstrosity

In: About Me, Media

This is what I did this weekend.
Last weekend I came up with the plan, and my dad and I specced out the wood. I figured that I’d be looking at about $400.00 plus taxes. Looking around at the pre-fab packages, I figured I could do better than theirs for less money, and build [...]

Welcome to the dollhouse

In: Media

Joss Whedon is back on TV this January…and once again on Fox.  The show is called “Dollhouse“, and it looks kind like the typical Joss Whedon premise.
JJ Abrams has a new show called Fringe coming in the fall that looks pretty cool too.  With Lost and BattleStar Galactica only a season away from ending, I [...]

Stupid Hollywood excuses

In: Media

Last year when Halo 3 came out and sold more than $300 million dollars worth of copies in 7 days, Hollywood trades blamed it as the reason that Ben Stiller’s movie “The Heartbreak Kid” made less than $14 million opening weekend. Halo 3 drained gamers’ everywhere will to see the movie.
This week GTA IV [...]

Movie Review: Iron Man

In: Media

Iron Man, he’s a B level comic book super-hero.  He’s best known for being one of the founding Avengers, being rich beyond most people’s dreams, and for a groundbreaking storyline where he battled alchoholism.
John Favreau has never done an action movie before.  He’s the guy who brought us Swingers (which he wrote, but didn’t direct), [...]

Really Apple?

In: General, Media

Just when I think I can start trusting you, I go ahead and click your STUPID Apple Update icon, and click next.  I’m about to click next again to let you update iTunes to the latest version when I see another check box.
What’s this?
Install Safari web browser.
Really?  That’s your play?  You’re going to install your [...]
