Captin Jack stole my sleep
If you have had your head up your ass for the past few months, you may not know that Pirates of the Caribbean – The End of the World, came out. (The reviews are not kind, but I liked it). I’m only going to go as far as to say that I need to see [...]
Use it!
Camino 2.0 So I installed Camino as my default browser for my laptop and I must say – it’s faster than both Safari and Firefox and not nearly as buggy as the Beta version. So I’ve set it as my default and I am going to give it a run-through. But, so far, so good. [...]
From these fingers flow….
I don’t know if everyone else gets them, but David and I get the Sunday blues. To combat such madness, we went for a ride. It wasn’t the ride we intended on the West Orange Trail, but it worked none the less. The wind pushed heavily against us on the Econ Trail, forcing us (that [...]
The Third Movie – Harry Potter
D finshed the book this afternoon, and we watched the movie tonight. After finishing it, we both sat back, disappointed. I understand that book adaptations are difficult. I understand that there are so many moments that are sacred to the reader. But there were moments in the movie that made no sense unless you had [...]
Lighting a fire
Friday night – 8:30 p.m. – bring booze and a snack – we are watching Constantine and eating fondue. It makes sense, really it does. Hell. Fire. Fondue! So, come one, come all. We watched Frida last night. I caught bits of it on one of the indie film channels, but I wanted to see [...]
I give it an A
Batman Begins left me all happy and juicy. I really enjoyed this film, not because it was better than the other Batman-monstrosities that came before, but because it was a good film on its own. When I left the theatre, I felt something for Bruce Wayne, something beyond the wide-eyed wonder that he would normally [...]
Reviews
Natacha Atlas Last night I bought her Best of. D pointed out that she was on the Kingdom of Heaven soundtrack, and after looking her up, I realized I had heard her on several other things. I like this album quite a lot. Her voice floating over arabic-inspired beats is quite calming. And it possesses [...]
Star Wars and other stuff
I didn’t write at all this weekend, although I had tons of time off. I have to say, I could get very used to the three day work weeks. It felt great getting up on Thursday, strolling to Panera for an eggie souffle thingy, and taking our time. So, what did I do? Lots of [...]
Kingdom of Heaven
Satisfaction, that is what I felt leaving the theatre after watching this movie. I wish I could tell you that each frame, each moment of my attention was a slave to the film, but I can’t. Why? Well, you see, there’s always the asshole. This time they came in a pair, in the form of [...]
Urban Flats and Sin City
Saturday we made plans with Vanya, Frankie and Nick to see Sin City. But first, we needed to eat… Urban Flats is a new little joint that seems filled with promise, but that air of possibility chokes with the mistakes made. The place is concrete, bare, cold floors only warmed by the light of the [...]
Blade 3
Understand, I am a fan of the Blade movies. I thought the opening of the original was brilliant, the music perfect. Although the ending cheezed out (in a huge way), the idea remained solid. The second brought an intimacy to Blade and Whistler’s relationship, which I find terribly interesting. The vampires were nummy, plus Ron [...]
