Battle: Los Angeles (2011)

I was rather disappointed with Battle Los Angeles.  I was expecting a lot more substance.  It has a distinct low budget feel.  You don’t learn to care for any of the characters.  In fact I ended up routing for the aliens by the end.  They used the old jerky camera technique to make it feel… Read More »

The Mechanic (2011)

Not too much to say about this flick.  It’s a decent watch of a very typical and general style hit man scenario.  Holds your attention, has some action that keeps you watching.  Nothing overly memorable about this entire movie, just a good time killer for action fans.  And you’ll have forgotten you saw it 3… Read More »

Drive Angry 3D (2011)

I watched the 2D version of this 3D yawner.  So I can’t speak to the quality of the 3D.  I can tell you that there are many events that cause items to be flung directly at the screen.  It makes you feel like you are watching the 2D version of any 1950’s or 1960’s 3D… Read More »

The Switch (2010)

It’s your typical Jennifer Aniston movie; kinda cute, kinda funny, an okay watch, nothing fantastic, slightly emotional at times, yadda, yadda. A very pretty single woman wants a child but can’t find the right man.  Ya that happens all the time.  Pretty single women are always having trouble finding men to make them a baby,… Read More »

I Am Number Four (2011)

It’s pretty good.  Has a bit of a low budget feel to it, but well done considering.  Typical alien movie, guy from another planet, finds out he’s being chased by the space baddies, he learns to use his super powers at the last minute and kicks ass in the end.  He’s cute, falls for some… Read More »

Apple Pulls ‘Gay-Cure’ App Following Controversy

Apple has removed a controversial iPhone app from its app store by a religious group determined to “cure” homosexuality, but only after 146,000 outraged people signed a petition. I’ve followed many stories about people and companies that have had various problems getting their app published to the Apple online store.  I was honestly surprised that… Read More »

The Tourist (2010)

The Tourist is a light hearted spy action movie, with a weak plot and mediocre action scenes.  Overall it’s a well made commercial movie.  But the only thing that carries it through is the charisma of Jolie and Depp, as well the European scenery.  It’s reasonably entertaining, but you’re left thinking you expected better. 7/10

Love and Other Drugs (2010)

It has romance, comedy and even some drama.  This is a storey about love, learning and life, and two people discovering these things together. Some people will feel this movie more than others.  The rest of you will simply find it entertaining. 9/10

Faster (2010)

Dwayne plays an ex-con getting revenge against other criminals that killed his brother.  There’s also a hot but slightly mentally disturbed hitman involved in this plot. That’s the whole movie.  Not in a nutshell, that’s as deep as it gets.  It’s blah.  Has some okay action.  But it’s dull, even though it’s somewhat graphic and… Read More »

Google Giving Final Death Blow to Gizmo5

The few of us that are left (I assume not many) as paying customers on Gizmo5, received this email from Google…I mean Gizmo5…in the past day.  They are finally killing it off entirely, in my opinion.  I think Gizmo5 was the slickest VoIP provider around.  Easy to set up, add to voip phones, Asterisk servers,… Read More »
