Columbiana: 3 of 5 Horns

I am extremely tired and was very devoid of flicks this weekend.  I worked late on Friday, worked on Saturday, lady  then went straight to my boy Jackson’s 2nd birthday party at “Fun Run.”  Come Sunday, I had time for one flickaroo, and I went with Columbiana.
I think Zoe [...]

Stocks are Funny »

I am president of a stock club – in effect that means that I make sure that the flow of conversation doesn’t stay too long on a single topic in our club meetings. Beyond that I really don’t possess any powers to speak of, sort of like the President of the United States. Once per [...]

Pacific »

I am a big proponent of reality television, and I don’t mean that crap genre that idiots refer to when pointing a camera at just any inbred hill billy. I am referring to anything that is either a documentary or is at the least based on reality – as in something important that really occurred. Recently I [...]

Fright Night 3-D and Final Destination 5 3-D »

My power is back and so am I!  I didn’t have a chance to see Conan this weekend, but I fear that the critics and the audiences have spoken.  What a bizarre weekend at the box office…
1 The Help $20,018,659
2 Rise of the Planet of the Apes $16,119,502
3 Spy Kids: All the Time [...]

Senran Kagura »

It has been mentioned before on Blinkinblogs some of the odd fascinations of the Japanese culture – a culture I actually admire for many aspects. The weirdest fascination for me is how women are viewed in Japanese media – creepy school girls. (I expect Kenfu to say something about this article as he actually lives [...]

The Help »

I ended up sending roving reporter, Dani California, into the fray to see The Help. While my intentions were to get her review posted over the weekend, well, you know what they say about the best intentions being fraught with disappointment.
The Reel Rhiness herself is planning a post as well, discussing the differences between the [...]

30 Minutes or Less (or the estimated amount of running time you may actually find funny) »

Friday fun day was in effect and when the work bell rang, I slid down my dino’s tail, and headed for the movies.  Although I enjoyed Chipotle, rather than a Brontosaurus burger, my tummy was happy none the less.
I was invited by The Kid in the Helmet to catch the midnight screening of 30 Minutes [...]

Mama’s Day »

Here in Thailand it’s the Queen’s birthday, no liquor sales, no bars open, probably a parade, they’re big on parades here and go all out. The bar next door to my apartment is getting three brand new girls today and can’t open, getting a new pool table too. The Mama san has offered me my [...]

Stranger Than Fiction….30 Minutes or Less »

So I wrote about most of my moviegoing last Friday, and I am itching to post.  This weekend was quite hairy, as a Microburst brought down two trees into my yard…one on my truck and one on my shed.  The latter of the two burst into flames as the downed power lines [...]

Let us play… »

Who is full of crap?
To play this game we must look back on the last ten or so years – in fact we must start from the date that George Bush Junior was voted into office. Let us begin by looking at where the USA economy was at that time. Bill Clinton had just finished [...]

The Change Up, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, FWB »

The Change Up: 4.5 Horns
Rise of the Planet of the Apes: 4 Horns
Friends with Benefits: 4 Horns
Doubleheader Friday was in effect today and it was a hell of a day at sea!

This week also saw the first set photo of Selena Kyle in full Catwoman gear, that’s Anne Hathoway, one of my personal favorites.  Chris [...]

Top Ten Baddies »

Given the state of the union lately I felt it might be nice to go a different direction with things. While perusing youtube I came across this 10 minute film show casing, what the film maker believes, the top ten movie villains of all time. What people don’t seem to realize is that a villain [...]

No Death by Rogue Sun in 2012 »

Nemesis has gotten swept up with the Planet X hypothesis, which holds that an as-yet-undetected planet will wreak havoc on Earth — and both those hypotheses have fed into worries about a 2012 apocalypse supposedly foretold by the ancient Maya calendarThere are loads of theories around how we are all supposed to die in 2012 – mostly [...]

Debt Ceiling – All you need to know »

Look – this debt ceiling stuff – the crap that has been plaguing the news, television, internet etc for months – it is supposed to be coming to a close today. We’ll see. That said after being bombarded with an endless politically laden diatribe delivered by those who I am fairly certain could be verbally [...]

Fon called, then Tham, but I want Som »

I have had a little communication problem here, not too bad though. I asked a man where the mall was and he talked a moment with a woman nearby who informed me that the man didn’t date other men….. When I moved from my last apartment I told the desk girl I needed my deposit [...]
