Olympus E-P1
One thing that occurred to me while I was at Thomson Medical Center the other week waiting for Hannah to pop was how much easier it was to take pictures on the move while balancing the HD digicam using the
Appaloosa
Appaloosa (2008) – on rental. One of the movie genres that I miss watching a lot is the American Western. There hasn’t been very many of these over the years, but the ones which had appeared have been mostly good
The Sims 3
Since picking up the PS3 a year and a half ago, I have been playing a lot less PC games than I used to. I think it’s several things: for starters, console games look amazingly good on a Plasma TV,
Bride Wars
Bride Wars (2009) – on rental. I’ll just save us time and cut right to the end: this comedic film is utterly stupid and just not funny. Which is more the pity, because the leads are two of Hollywood’s favorite
Pride and Glory
Pride and Glory (2008) – on rental. There aren’t a lot of recent multi-generational cop dramas in entertainment, and even less so when in movies with their shorter running lengths. With their necessarily larger cast of characters, plots and subplots
Restaurant Empire 2
Of all the games I’ve played over the last 26 years, there’s been a couple that I still load up every now and then for a go. One is Zeus: Master of Olympus, a city-building simulation that was published 8
Fav Films – Fantasy, Super-Heroes & Sci-Fi
My three picks for Fantasy, Super-Heroes & Sci-Fi are Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002), The Matrix (1999) and The Dark Knight (2008). This was a very hard genre to pick favorites from, but I settled with these
Terminator Salvation
Terminator Salvation (2009). If I had to use one word to describe the new Terminator movie, it’d be this: disappointing. McG’s continuation of the Terminator franchise has created a loud and noisy movie that’s more thunder than lightning. This film
Doubt
Doubt (2008). When scrolling through the list of newly arrived DVD rentals on the Homepal service, I look out for the cast in it and typically will pick up titles because of an actor. I picked up Doubt without knowing
Fav Films – War & Conflict
After doing a bunch of reviews, I realized I haven’t started a Fav Film list yet. So, here we go – and identifying only films that were released in the last 20 years, a series of my favorite picks from
Kip’s Lights
I’ve blogged about wedding music last year, and in the pair of posts noted that one of my choices for Ling’s Processional was “I’ll Always Go Back to that Church”, better known as “Kip’s Lights”, from The English Patient by
Outlander
Outlander (2009). Matt was remarking the other morning that I don’t have much time left to watch loud and noisy movies at home – Ling will make doubly sure of that when Hannah arrives in a fortnight LOL. I saw
