I have always been a fan of stop motion animations and particularly the dark macabre films of Tim Burton such as The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride. Coraline which is adapted from the book by Neil Gaiman is done in the same film style as these films and is brought to us by director Henry Selick, the same man who directed The Nightmare Before Christmas. Coraline is a visually stunning and unique film that … Read more
As a Tommy Lee Jones fan I decided to rent this movie and see what it is all about, the movie follows the detective Dave Robicheaux played by “Tommy Lee Jones” as he investigates recent killings of “working girls’ in Louisiana. The movie is based on the book In the Electric Mist with Confederate Dead and after watching the film and then reading some other reviews on it, I realize the film does leave out … Read more
As a fan of independent films and art films, we rented Kirikou and the Sorceress which is an animation about an African folktale done by a french director (Michel Ocelot). I watched the English version of the film without subtitles and my whole family watched the film including my five and two year old sons. The film has a wonderfully unique story and moral, and is truly ethnic in nature. The animation is of course … Read more
In scouring the net I found more funny IT related humor, some of these are a blast, while others are from a few years ago. I remember seeing the computer terminology one as a bathroom toilet on a T-shirt one time and thinking it was very funny. Justin GerminoI have been obsessed with computers, tech, gadgets and games since the early 1980’s having grown up on the Commodore 64 and Amiga computers. By day I … Read more
Funny computer comics and jokes for people who appreciate IT humor. I found these IT related comics across the web.
I went into the movie completely blind of reviews and even anyones reaction to it. I set my expectations low and didn’t know if it would feel like a Star Trek movie, or would it disappoint the fans with the new direction of the universe. I will have to say, I was pleasantly blown away by how enjoyable the movie was. Most movies that deal with time travel either don’t end well or have tons … Read more
“You don’t chase a shapeshifter” – Sylar “He’s A Better You Than You” – Sylar to Danko at the Garden of Eden club. What can I say about this episode except that it is one of the best of this entire season and follows up last weeks episode very well. The introduction of a new hero on the lamb from the agents who has the ability to shapeshift throws a loop and adds a nice … Read more
Leave it to the geniuses at Pixar for coming up with an amazingly original story and translating it to a fully rendered 3D film, Up is a story about a widowed old man who decides to fill his promise to his departed wife to explore the mountains of South America. When developers threaten to move him into an assisted living facility he decides to embark on an adventure by tying balloons to his house. He … Read more
Watch Heroes Cold Snap Here Tomorrow Full Review of Cold Snap: What a fantastic episode I must say, this was by far one of the best episodes of the Season which has several unique twists, the first being that Matt Parkman’s baby has the power to activate things including the powers in other human beings. Such clever and light hearted scenes with Hiro and Ando trying to figure out what to do with the baby … Read more
Review of Heroes Volume 4 Episode 6 – Shades of Gray Watch Heroes Shades of Gray Now if you missed it: Full Review: Shades of Gray opened up last night with the kitchen scene where Eric Doyle surprised Claire asking for her help to escape capture. At first his frustration at her rejection caused him to consider manipulating Sandra and Claire but he decided to leave instead claiming he wasn’t going to be that person … Read more
You can watch the episode again here streaming: Review: I was much more engaged with this weeks episode of Heroes than in previous ones and I will say that even Claire trying to help Alex escape capture was more enjoyable than I thought. To see the two of them at the bottom of the pool exchanging air as they evaded their captors was a nice touch. Sylar scenes were toned down and show just how … Read more
One of my favorite movies of all time is Legend which was released in 1985. This movie is a fantasy story long before the Lord of the Rings trilogy and holds up well over the years, it stars Tim Curry as “Darkness” a creature who worships the night and wants nothing more than to purge light and good from the world. Tom Cruise plays “Jack” a forest child who was raised by elves and forest … Read more
Watch the episode if you missed it or want to see it again, I am also streaming the video live here: Review: This episode had several key highlights for me and most of them involved Sylar and his new found friend. Sylar gradually is showing his empathic side and that he isn’t all bad by rescuing the boy from being captured by the government agents. My favorite scene was when Luke tells Sylar he is … Read more
Normally I don’t do to many reviews of people who contact me asking for a free plug for their sites, but when Lost Zombies contacted me I checked them out and was astounded at the level of effort and style put into this website and whole community. Lost Zombies is an online portal for all things Zombie and is under the premise that Zombie outbreaks are real and a massive one is eminent. It allows … Read more
First off I have to tell you I am a big fan of Ron Perlman and his portrayal of Hellboy from the first film, and a huge fan of Guillermo del Toro the director. I loved Pan’s Labyrinth and this movies creatures and set designs remind me of his previous film in many ways. This movie has it all and starts off fantastic with a flashback to Hellboy’s early childhood years where his father reads … Read more
Watch full streaming episode: Several people have asked me not to use Hulu or find another video that displays outside of the United States, but I could find no legal video streams to support this. I don’t use youtube because it isn’t legal to play full episodes on youtube, I find a valid legal video source and I can’t find any that stream from the US to outside the US. So I still use Hulu … Read more
At first I didn’t think I would be able to watch this episode while I was traveling at CA World, but was fortunate enough to learn that in Las Vegas Heroes comes on at 9pm instead of 8pm in Arizona so I was back at the Hotel by 8:30 and able to catch the show. Updated to include the streaming episode: The episode starts off with a long recap, followed by Ando trying to save … Read more
I was excited to see tonight’s episode after having to wait almost two weeks. Heroes Season 3 Episode 8 Villains did not disappoint. I will review the episode and add my commentary sparsed throughout, rather than be a minute by minute play by play, I think it helps the flow of the review better. After an opening narration talking about what makes some people choose the path of good and others choose the path of … Read more
Watch the Full Episode Here: We start off with Hiro and Ando discussing what path to take regarding the villains where it is revealed that Arthur will become the most powerful man in the world. Hiro is still cautions and does not want to go back in time based on what happened the last time he went back in time. We see Flashbacks to Nathan, Peter and Arthur from Peters dreams, and then he awakes … Read more
HULK SMASH I must say it was a very good movie, much better than “Hulk” from a few years back. Edward Norton does a very good job as Bruce Banner, and William Hurt plays General Ross. This movie basically ignores the previous movie and treats it as if it never existed. Now I did like some aspects of the previous film, such as the fact that Hulk became random sizes based on the strength of … Read more
