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 bought MoneyBook for iPhone yesterday after reviewing the competition under Finance. Most of the others were not as pretty as this app, an important criteria for any application used regularly on any platform.

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 [...]
What the hellboy? Hmm.
When a movie opens with a bedtime story about how someone can challenge the ruler of the Empire for control of the Golden Army, you know exactly how that movie is going to end.
When a movie opens with a bedtime story that is eerily similar to that told [...]
So for me it took a while to write this review as I had to have some time to become more objective. This movie was the realisation of a fantasy that I had while watching a documentary on human trafficking a couple of years back – made me really really [...]
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 [...]
