Socialite, from Realmac software, is a beautiful looking application. It takes the interface I loved in Twitterrific and makes it usable (considering that Twitterrific doesn’t even have timestamps on tweets). But Socialite pro-ports to be more than just a Twitter client interfacing with MyBook, FaceSpace et al. And the big [...]
The Wolfman is a movie that did a lot of things right but was an overall disappointment for my movie-going experience. The sets were gorgeous and with Anthony Hopkins starring, how could at least some of it not rise to greatness? And indeed some of it did; Mr. Hopkins [...]
I too was excited by the trailer for the movie Daybreakers to be only slightly disappointed. The creative sphere is bursting at the seems with vampire related paraphernalia with the 1st season of True Blood ringing through as quality material and the totally retarded Twilight series feeding those that prefer to be tickled [...]

I recently read a nice analogy for Australia’s game classification board:
Australia’s R18+ debate is a lot like NASCAR: it has just been going round and round in circles without a whole lot happening. Every now and again there is a collision when a controversial game looses traction as it rounds [...]
I’m pleased to say that amparose.com has finally arrived as more than just a single page. The proverbial carpenter has outfitted himself with palatial surroundings.
Still a few things that need some work / fixing but it will all fall into place quickly so please pop back in and see what [...]
Initial rant
There’s something about videogame movies. They never turn out too good. In my opinion, there are two major reasons for this.
Hollywood doesn’t trust the original story. This seems strange to me, as the good games all have good stories, which the fans love. The movie-making industry however seems to [...]
Who the f*&k spewed this thing onto film? I’m so unimpressed with this sequel that I’m not going to spend more than a few sentences telling you what I think. I think that “bong bash with the president” pretty much sums it up. There were plenty of [...]
