Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008)
An amusing animated family tale with the occasional chuckle. It keeps your attention. 7/10
Thunderbird RSS Feed Not Displaying Inline Images
By default, Thunderbird has “Feed Message Body” set to “Summary”. However, it will not display some feeds with images as intended based on the formatting of the webpage code. Some feeds will display “correctly” while others will not. My solution is to change the default settings in the menu and in config so you can… Read More »
One of the Last Canadian Version Nexus Ones Sold Direct by Google
I recently received my second Google/HTC Nexus One. The first one I bought on eBay, and was not 3G compatible with Canadian carriers. But it was one of the first ones sold in the US when they became available in January of 2010. I couldn’t have timed the purchase of my second Nexus One… Read More »
TigerDirect.ca Review
What kind of company NOT to buy from…. I recently placed a small order for a few items from TigerDirect.ca, after not dealing with them for a few years. I paid extra to have my order shipped Express, and after not receiving my items in a reasonable time, contacted the courier, who promptly said, “Yes… Read More »
The Lost Tribe (2009)
Lame, low budget and full of inconsistencies. Five people get marooned on an uncharted island that is inhabited by a dozen mutant cavemen with superhuman strength. They seem to speak a language that sounds like Latin, can jump a hundred feet in the air, and leap at least the same distance at a time, like to eat… Read More »
IMAX: Hubble 3D (2010)
It’s a documentary, it’s big, it’s space, it’s 3D, it’s Imax. If you like anything to do with outer-space, and you enjoy 3D, you will love this. Excellent videography and computer animation in 3D. 10/10 (all things considered)
Battle for Terra (2007)
A CGI animated story with a familiar general plot. The last remains of the people from a dead and ravaged Earth (the US military of course, who else would it be) are in quest for a new planet to Terra-form. They find a planet inhabited by a peaceful race, and decide to wipe the peaceful people out… Read More »
Fame (2009)
An obvious remake to the original movie and TV series by the same name. But in my opinion, lacking the energy and heart of the original. It’s a good remake, not terrible, but certainly not great. It’s watch-able if this floats your boat. But I wouldn’t care to see it again at any point. If… Read More »
Delgo (2008)
A CGI Computer Generated animated film. An epic fantasy tale of an old predictable storey line. Two kids from the opposite sides of the track fall in love and their people go to war over this. And of course the villains take advantage of the situation. This version takes place in a fantasy world where our lovers are… Read More »
Percy Jackson & the Olympians – The Lightning Thief (2010)
The name alone nearly put me off from seeing this one. It simply is not an attractive name for a movie. The title makes you feel you’ll be watching a series of linked episodes from a bad TV series that made it to DVD. But I was pleasantly surprised that this flick was far better that what… Read More »
