Source Code (2011)

A nice variation on the travel back in time plot.  I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect after seeing the trailers.  There are a few surprises along the way, that we can’t discuss without spoiling it for you.  It’s not just a simple action movie, there is an emotional ride as well.  It’s worth seeing,… Read More »

Priest (2011)

Another variation on the old vampire storey. This one takes place in the futures after vampire apocalypse, and a twisted version of the Roman Catholic church runs society, not unlike medieval times. Actually nothing that memorable to share about this one, other than it’s okay as vampire flicks go, but the ending really sucks.  You… Read More »

Take Me Home Tonight (2011)

This is a fun teenager style movie with an 80’s theme.  Well done and light hearted.  It has the typical teenager party movie plot; lead teenage boy is kinda geeky, can;t get a girl, lead teenage girl is very hot, can have anyone she wants, geek chases girl, can’t get girl, then get’s girl after… Read More »

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)

I enjoyed this remake more than I expected.  It was entertaining, the CGI effects of making Chris Evans a skinny short little guy were excellent and totally believable, and it has Chris Evans – who is simply hot! The only thing I didn’t really care for was that it’s in 3D.  For me the 3D… Read More »

Self Balancing Platform

I finally got around to building my Self Balancing Platform, otherwise known as a home made Segway. I documented the completed project in my first YouTube video. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngMJcxeB7og&w=640&h=390]

The Jiminy Space Flights

So I’m watching an actual NASA podcast video the other day, and the NASA hired narrator refers to the Gemini space flights as Jiminy, pronounces it like the cartoon cricket’s name.  Can you believe it?  How incredibly sad is that?!  First it’s sad for a NASA employee not to know how to pronounce it correctly,… Read More »

DivX Muvee Reveal Review

  A few days ago I received an email from the DivX organization with their usual software discount promo, half price like it seems to be every 6 weeks.  But I noticed a new item, the Muvee Reveal easy video editing software.   I’ve used several different video editing suites that can be bought for… Read More »

Yogi Bear (2010)

Yogi must be rolling over in his grave.  Assuming Yogi Bear died by now.  I mean how old do bears live for?  My review is from a adult perspective, but we adults like a lot of animated movies these days.  But this Yogi remake is bad.  Really freakin bad.  Boring as all hell, and slow,… Read More »

S.W.A.T.: Firefight (2011)

This “movie” was shot in what feels like a TV movie or even a TV series style.  With moments where you expect to be suddenly watching a commercial break.  The title of this one tells you eveything you need to know about this story.  It’s about S.W.A.T. team characters and a little action.  That’s it.… Read More »

The Green Hornet (2011)

The general concept of this movie is obviously to be a remake of the old TV series.  Other than that it’s not much like the original.  The main character may have the same name, but he isn’t the serious, good looking, tough guy I remember from the original series.  He’s a average looking, dumb ass… Read More »
