Nail on the Head for Zelda Series »

I used to play the Legend of Zelda series, Hyrul, whatever you want to refer to it as. I always found the story line confusing enough to just not care about it any more, opting instead to be good at killing stuff. I was always further confused by the fact that the main character was [...]

Quest for 1000 and THE HANGOVER PART II Review »

The quest for 1000 marches on!  The official tally, including last evening’s outing, stands at 995.  My plan for the next few weeks is pretty simple. 
I will discuss my man-date with my Wolfpack below, but between today and my 1000th film, the road is pretty clear. 
I am guessing that Kung-Fu Panda (996) will be in [...]

2011 Memorial Day Movie Preview BOX OFFICE CHALLENGE »

There are only two new releases worth mentioning this weekend.  They will most likely be #1 and #2, but it is a crapshoot as to which will be which!
Will the R-rated HANGOVER 2 and the return of the WOLFPACK be enough to keep the FURIOUS FIVE and the chosen one, PO, from taking the weekend?  [...]

Dets.me – Birth of a Social Platform »

So a friend of mine is building out this new social networking system that is rather uber in concept – dets.me (a play on the term That’s Me). I am a member of both Facebook and Twitter (I rarely if ever log into Twitter as I find it more annoying that useful) and have always [...]

Weekend Box Office Recap: Pirates, Bridesmaids, and Thor OH MY! »

The BOX OFFICE CHALLENGE was met with its lowest entries to date…three.  Now that is of course, counting me in the mix and also not counting Thraxxus, who flatters me yet again by offering as his picks, a resounding of mine.  Oh Thraxxus, you silly goose.
The weekend gave us pretty much exactly what we expected.  [...]

10 minutes after the rapture – man falls short of prediction »

Devoting more than a few minutes to this topic would serve no purpose other than espouse one’s own opinion of the matter. 10 minutes after the rapture the world remained unchanged. But what if it hadn’t? What if at 10 minutes after the rapture news reports began broadcasting the disappearance of hundreds of thousands of [...]

REVIEWS: Bridesmaids and Everything Must Go »

The BOX OFFICE CHALLENGE is coming soon, but I wanted to give everyone a chance to read the RRR (Reel Rhino Review) for both Everything Must Go and Bridesmaids, before the weekend got too close.  With Pirates 4 being the only new release this week, I think folks are going to be wondering what else [...]

CDC Preparedness: Zombie Apocalypse »

Well we here at Blinkinblogs have long been chatting it up about ZA, and now finally it seems our infamous pharma-pimps over at the CDC have awoken to what will surely be the greatest threat to humanity in history – Zombie Apocalypse!
It is a blog and lets face it the emergency preparedness list of supplies [...]

Alterna-Horror Special: Hobo, Super, Rubber, Ahhh! Zombies, Dylan Dog »

So over the last two weeks, I have taken in some alternative cinema.  The term alternative can mean many things, but for arguments sake, let’s just say it is something ranging from just outside of the mainstream to full on, bat-turd crazy.
I am a horror buff of sorts.  I mean I don’t seek out the [...]

T-Rex = Significant “Cool Points” Coefficient »

To the general public, the T-Rex is the poster boy of paleontology (ergo, carries significant points as being cool which lends itself to education). Therefore, I wanted to share with you some recent discoveries as well as the research interests of the discoverer. My personal fascination with gait modelling research is included within…
Paleontologist Manning [...]

Politicians are People Too »

In just the last few days there have been a few announcements of Politicians doing things that are not so good:

The head of the IMF, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, was accused of RAPING a hotel cleaning lady in New York. This same man was the top selection for presidential hopefuls in France. Ooops.
Arnold Schwarzenegger announced that he [...]

Let that settle in…4.
