Quick Review: Cloverfield

January 26, 2008

I actually liked it a lot.
Not wanting to say to much, and feeling as if this review is coming a week too late, here’s my advice: If you saw the trailer and were interested even a little bit, Go see it. If you like disaster movies, Go see it. Don’t [...]

Oscar Watch: There Will Be Blood

January 26, 2008

I’m going to make it my goal to see all the Best Picture nominees before the Oscars this year, mainly because many of the movies are made by directors I actually respect. I’ll most likely miss Atonement, on the principles of it seems a bit like a “chick flick + arty film” equation, and [...]

Game On: No More Heroes in my Days of Ruin in the Endless Ocean

January 26, 2008

Obviously, I’m getting better at combining the titles….
Lot’s of goodness came out this week, so let’s take ‘em out one at a time:

I’ve been a fan of the Advance Wars series since the first Americanized game was released on the GBA. AW: Dual Strike was one of the first games I bought for the [...]

My Nintendo Friend Codes

January 23, 2008

aka “The Ultimate Geek Post” or “The Desperate Search for Friends: Part 6″.
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, you just gotta live with Nintendo Friend Codes. While I’ve got a few hear and there, I feel like I need more to truly experience the full potential of the many Wi-Fi games I own. Plus, [...]

Brand New Day: My spin on the new webs

January 11, 2008

In my opinion, it is really hard to build a complete and objective opinion on a comic series or new direction after reading only one issue. That would be similar to watching only the first 30 minutes of a movie and passing judgment on the overall movie; you’re just not taking in the overall [...]

Mr. Sandman, leave me the heck alone

January 4, 2008

I have always had a strange sleep schedule, but lately I’ve been having weird dreams to add to the oddity that is me.
For example, last night’s dream schedule:
4:30am: I awake after having a dream about, I kid you not, getting ready for bed.
7:00am: A wake up again after a very intense dream, where I am [...]

Comics View: Spider-Man-One More Day

January 3, 2008

I received a lot of emails over the last week asking how I feel about the change in Spider-Man status quo so I figured I’d respond.  First off, I haven’t read the actual issue yet, so this won’t be  based on the actual story as much as  my feeling about what is going on overall.  [...]

Quick Review: Juno

January 3, 2008

I’ll be honest: I sped through the other reviews to get to this one. Of the three movies I saw during the holiday week, this was the one that has stayed with me since.
If your one the interwebs, you know the story of the movie and that it’s the movie your supposed to [...]

Quick Review: Sweeney Todd

January 3, 2008

In a sentence: Worth it if you like musicals, dark humor, or a combination of both.
How’s that for quick?
