  • 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: 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: 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. So what can men do…

  • Movie Review – Ponyo

    First, a story. I had been exposed to Anime only sparingly as a kid, mostly Voltron, Tranzor-Z (Boob missiles!) and later, Ronin Warriors. I enjoyed them, but nothing really made me go out and seek more. Oh, and I caught the super-hyped showing of Akira on the Sci-Fi channel, which didn’t help. My Miyazaki fandom…

  • Very Important Question!

    [poll id=”13″] I’ve been thinking about this, as my son slowly but surely gets exposed to Star Wars thanks to kids at school (and the very fun Lego Star Wars game we have). While I’m probably not showing him these any time soon, this is the sort of thing a geeky dad think about. So…

  • Lucas is Meddlesome

    Jeffrey Katzenberg, speaking to ComingSoon.net, revealed that Darth Lucas is ‘investing in technology’ to turn the Star Wars movies 3D. My favorite bit: Katzenberg remarked in the interview that Lucas “isn’t going to put a product out, I think, that isn’t anything other than first rate.” Yeah, EP1 was first rate, all right. UGH.

  • Hulk SMASH

    I went to see The Incredible Hulk over the weekend (twice, in fact). I enjoyed it quite a bit, although Iron Man is still my movie of the year so far. I only read Hulk comics when I got ’em in the multipacks I bought, but I enjoyed what I read of Peter David’s run.…

  • Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

    I went to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull last night. I thought it was pretty good, say B- or C+ grade-wise. I enjoyed it, and don’t feel as if it was a waste of money, which is good considering how much it costs to go to a movie nowadays. There…
