TomTom GPS Re-purposing into Media Player

by

One of the fun things about electronics is that sometimes they can be used in ways not thought of by the designer, like the old Commodore 64 which many years later was used as a server. Another would be using a VCR to record a computer program in a series of black and white flashes and using it in place of a dataset recorder. (Another C-64 thing). But who would have ever thought that that … Read more

Jurassic World Review

by

It’s been fourteen years since the last Jurassic Park movie came out and twenty since the original. While the original Jurassic Park will always be a classic and revolutionary in so many ways, The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III definitely left a bad taste in my mouth, as well as the majority of the Jurassic Park fan base. The Lost World: Jurassic Park was completely forgettable and, with the exception of Jeff … Read more

Review of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

by

“You are only quite a little fellow in a wide world, after all.” These words, spoken with such warmth by Gandalf (Ian McKellen) to his burglar, sum up the movie and the trilogy perfectly. For this isn’t quite a movie about Bilbo (Martin Freeman) and his unexpected journey as much as it is just him being a small cog in an extremely large machine. Bilbo is very much a little fellow in this story that … Read more

How To Create Your Own Subtitles for Video Files

by

Hey there, if you’re reading this you probably know what we are going to do today, but just a quick recap; we’re going to write the subtitles for a movie or a video. Remember, this is going to generate a separate subtitle file, the video file (.mp4 , .avi etc) is going to stay intact and safe. However this method also has a disadvantage, if you have a physical DVD, without subtitles, then you’re out … Read more

by

Last night I took my lovely wife out on a date, and we decided to watch the new movie “Lucy”. I have not read anyone else’s take on the movie yet but here is mine. First of all I love the two main characters in the movie. Morgan Freeman plays a professor that shares with us what might happen if we as humans were able to use more than 10% of our brains. Scarlett Johansson plays … Read more

I was such a fan of the original How to Train Your Dragon movie and my kids enjoy watching the series though it doesn’t capture the quality of the film.

I recently had the chance to take my wife out on a long overdue date night. We went to the drive in to see a double feature. This first movie up was The Lone Ranger. I am going to spend a few minutes with you and share my thoughts on the film. I want to start by saying that no matter what anyone else says, you the viewer need to make and form your own … Read more
