A gorgeous OS that continue a dribbling decent into lowest common denominator for Apple. So far my first impressions of Lion have been fairly mixed – very excited but bombarded with issues straight up including sudden panic from Chrome and Safari not working or connecting to sites. Disabling extensions, restarting [...]
Let me just say that I love the X-Files. I had the pleasure of going through high school in the mid-late 90s, and growing up with the X-Files hype. Damn, I love that show. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson WERE Mulder and Scully, and it was a shining example of [...]
Holy frijole, Batman! First things first. I have not written a film review since Phil and I were in Grade 11 English class, tasked with reviewing “The Negotiator”. I got a decent mark on that one, so I feel at least somewhat justified in posting my opinions online. Second, I [...]
another filthy assault on my childhood Firstly, what a stupid title. Sounds like a kiddie computer game you’d find neglected in the bargain bin. I had hopes for this film, hopes and dreams that were unashamedly crushed when… WARNING: spoilers follow (aside from the movie itself) … what I had [...]
more than blood: misanthropy, maulings, oil, greed, insanity… Hey look it’s that Last of the Mohican’s guy and he rocks in this sumptuous slice of human self-induced misery.

A delicious morsel of musical tragedy Tim Burton + Johnny Depp + musical + live action = a good show. Possibly a logical next step for Tim Burton, his dark style and muted palette couldn’t of suited this story better. Johnny Depp delivers his usual highly entertaining performance and it [...]
Clichés, watered down and fed to you as if you haven’t seen them before – a Frankenstein of a movie without the drama, quirks, originality and vision. So I’m 12 minutes and 49 seconds into the movie and I’m really pissed off as I witness Dawson-look-alike set up the inevitable [...]
~ Guys, take your girl to this movie for brownie points and you might be surprised to find yourself enjoying it as well. In the tradition of The Notebook this movie ends up as a real tear-jerker, though (for the boys) there is Keirer Knightly sopping wet in a silky [...]
