“Friends shouldn’t let friends write movies.” That was my wife’s opinion of the movie, and I can’t disagree. I wouldn’t say it was a bad. In fact, I’d say I enjoyed it overall. It’s just exceedingly silly, perhaps too much so at times (the sasquatch scene comes to mind… don’t ask). Here’s the best scene [...]
My wife and I rarely go out of our way to get to the theatre thanks to our two-year-old. Since the last installment of Pirates of the Caribbean, however, we’ve been aching to see how the story ends, so we made the time to catch At World’s End on opening weekend. My review of At [...]
I am admittedly a recent fan of NBC’s Heroes. It’s one of those shows that I always knew would appeal to me but never went out of my way to watch. I finally caught my first episode two weeks ago and loved it, as expected. Thankfully there was a marathon last Saturday, so I got [...]
I heard this song on the radio the other day and knew right away that it would be a favorite. I’m really excited to hear the rest of the songs on Minutes to Midnight now; if they’re half as good as “What I’ve Done,” it’s bound to be as good as, if not better than, [...]
Whenever I hear this song, I think back to my high school days. I was in a pretty intensive pre-college program and my personal motto had become, “More weight.” This was an allusion to Giles Corey, a man who got crushed to death during the Salem Witch Trials. It’s pretty bad when your schoolwork is [...]
My wife and I have been huge fans of Japanese anime for years now. Our fascination started in our teens with shows like Dragonball Z, Gundam Wing, and Rurouni Kenshin. Thanks to the good people over at Cartoon Network (tip of the hat to Toonami in particular), we were later exposed to Fullmetal Alchemist, Yu [...]
Well, after about three months (he would say more) my dear husband finally convinced me to blog again. He asked this morning, “Wasn’t there a video you wanted to blog about a while ago… I can’t remember… Yeah, that’s the one.” He knows how to push my buttons. The video is the one you hear [...]
I first heard Disturbed’s Land of Confusion this morning and I was completely blown away. I’ve always liked Down with the Sickness and a few of their other hits. Still, I never realized they had such a strong political voice. Heck, the original song by Genesis pales in comparison. Yes, I realize they have the [...]
The other day, I got dressed for work and entered the living room to find my son dancing around to Suddenly I See. I use the term “dancing” loosely, of course, since it was more like giggling and hopping in circles; you know, the sort of freeform joyful expression of which only a toddler is [...]
My wife hates this song, and I’ve never been a huge Weird Al Yankovic fan, but I just couldn’t help but feel like it’s talking about me. I actually did a lyric-by-lyric comparison to see just how white and nerdy I am. After tallying up my comments below, I’d say 9 of the lyrics describe [...]
