  • Sprint Hero on Android 2.1 – One Year Later

    In case it’s useful to you, I thought I’d go over how the Hero I bought just about a year ago has held up.  I know it hasn’t been on 2.1 for that whole time, but I upgraded a few weeks early with a custom rom (on stock now), so close enough. Overall, I’m extremely…

  • Dragon Age: Origins, Awakening, and the DLCs

    Dragon Age: Origins, Awakening, and the DLCs

    I don’t think I ever officially review DA:O in this space (but I love it), but I thought that now that all the DLCs are out and the game is basically done, I’d take another look at the ‘story based’ addons.  SPOILERS ABOUND. First, in case you can’t tell, I love the game.  Otherwise, I…

  • Go Ahead And Thank Me

    I saw part of Cats and Dogs 3D, but I’m not going to subject you to any review of it.  I’d rather not think that much about it.  Chris O’Donnell had best hope NCIS:LA stays on the air or he’ll be stuck making these animal movies (probably with Brendan Fraser).  That’s a fate I wouldn’t…

  • Movie Review – Despicable Me

    I took Thomas and Mattie to see Despicable Me on Saturday, and we all enjoyed it quite a bit.  Well, Mattie was more interested in popcorn and changing seats, but that’s why we go to the kid-friendly showing in the morning. ;) The story is about Gru, a super-villain comfortable in his solitary life until…

  • Movie Review: The Last Airbender – An Outsider’s View

    I took my son to a birthday party this weekend, and as part of that, he got to see The Last Airbender.  I waffled and hemmed and hawed, but figured I’d ride shotgun with him in case it got too scary (he’s a sensitive soul).  Now, I’ve probably only seen about 10 minutes total of…

  • Movie Review: Toy Story 3

    What?  Oh hi, didn’t see you there…huh?  No, I have something in my eye *sniff* that’s all.  It’s a movie about toys for crying out loud!  Uh, crying is a bad choice of words… The whole family went to see Toy Story 3 this weekend, and of course we all loved it.  Plenty of action,…

  • Movie Review: The A-Team

    I went and saw The A-Team last night, and I have to say I enjoyed myself.  It was exactly what I expected, nothing more, nothing less.  It had plenty of nods to the series, while modernizing it and making it different enough that you didn’t feel like you’d seen it all before.  Glad I went. …

  • Seeing Art

    If you are like me, and you read Roger Ebert’s excellent Twitter feed and blog, you know he sometimes gets on a subject and won’t let go.  Recently, one such topic has been how video games can’t be art.  Now, video games are pretty close to my heart (as close as movies are to Mr.…

  • Movie Review: Iron Man 2

    Saw this Friday morning, which is a great way to spend a day off, by the way.  Very much enjoyed it, a worthy successor to the first, but not without a few minor flaws that keep it from being ‘better’.  But really, who cares?  It was still GREAT. Spoilers to follow…consider yourself warned!

  • Movie Review: The Book of Eli

    I saw The Book of Eli on Sunday (edit:  now on DVD and Blu-ray), and enjoyed it. However, I wasn’t planning on reviewing it officially until I read this story, that requires an FJM-style takedown. I will have a go at that after the jump, as there will be MASSIVE SPOILERS.

  • Time Warner Raising Rates…Fight Back!

    Many of you have probably heard by now, TWC is raising rates, as much as 12% depending on what you have. You can point straight at crap like the recent Fox nearly being pulled due to pricing negotiations running right up to the deadline, and (locally) the Channel 4 craziness. tron legacy, HD, full movie,…
