1. Zombieland Review

    I never liked any zombie movies until now, especially serious zombie movies. The only non-comedic zombie I would rate higher than a three is 28 days later but that’s only because its more of a horror movie than a zombie flick.

    The other two zombie movies I enjoyed Shaun of the Dead and the Evil Dead, both totally different, were good/great. ( Of course, I haven’t seen Evil Dead since I was a kid and even then I think I saw the sequels first, either way I thought they were … Read More »

     
  2. The Time Traveler’s Wife

    Short and sweet: the story is amazing and I bet the book is way better than the movie. The only thing that kept me intrigued was thinking about time traveling and how awesome the plot/story was. … Read More »

     
  3. Logitech MX Revolution Review

    I’ve used MX Revolutions for what seems like ages now and I still haven’t found a better mouse. The Magic Mouse with Magic Preferences makes it very close. After my Magic Mouse review, which I’m still committing a few more weeks to, I may just go back to the classic revolution mouse.

    My only complaint is the charging. I tend to always forget to charge it every night and having it stop working in the middle of the day is awful. This really shouldn’t happen with battery technology these days, I … Read More »

     
  4. Funny People Review

    Funny People is a funny movie. There are some of the greatest comedians in this movie and because the movie’s plot allows for real actors to portray themselves ( stand-up, ect. ) its perfect to cram them in without being distracting or messy.

    If you’ve seen a preview you know Sandler is terminally ill and you can guess he starts soul searching and finds a girl; well, don’t get disappointed there’s definitely more to it and without spoiling anything I loved how it unfolded.

    Even if you don’t like Sandler’s style of comedy, … Read More »

     
  5. Surrogates (2009) Review

    The premise of the movie is simple: everyone uses a robot to live out their daily life. I have mixed feelings about this movie; I really liked the plot but I couldn’t enjoy the story the movie presented.

    The robotic acting was a little overboard at times, it seemed like the actors just didn’t know how to express at certain times and actions and reactions were not consistent. This ended up being distracting and contributed to me not liking the movie as much as I’d would have liked.

    After watching this movie, my … Read More »

     
  6. Lost Season 6 Premiere

    I have a ton of theories, all of which I may never post about but the season premiere for the last season of Lost was great.

    Oh all right. My main “theory” is, although it is pretty obvious and the most reasonable, the bomb did prevent “the incident” from happening and Daniel Fariday’s theory of a cataclysmic event altering space time allowed for an alternate timeline.

    The people we see on the plane and land in LAX are of the new alternate timeline caused by the bomb, the bomb prevented Dharma from … Read More »

     
  7. 3-minute Review – Magic Mouse

    I want to like this “Magic” Mouse but I can’t get the tracking speed right and the scrolling is out of control when I’m using it on another machine through synergy. I’m using MagicPrefs but still!

    I’ll post a review after I play work with it more. … Read More »

     
  8. The Invention of Lying

    I had some really different expectations for The Invention of Lying, not only did I expect for it to be a bombardment of laughs ( it wasn’t ), I didn’t expect for it to be thought provoking.

    I’m a big fan of Gervais, a recent fan because I’m loving the The Ricky Gervais Guide to… series in audiobook. And since I’m a fan, I thought the movie would have exploited the concept/plot a little more and made Mark go wild that take advantage of the situation. Instead, the taking advantage … Read More »

     
  9. Logitech Squeezebox Radio

    I’ve had my Logitech Squeezebox Radio for a few weeks now and I completely love the thing, it makes listening so much easier.

    The functionality of the system is great. Right now I have a few Pandora channels preset so I can just walk up to it and with one touch start listening to some tunes. I also have presets for some albums that are streamed from my music library on my MacPro.

    The integration with iTunes and the mac is so-so, it looks at your iTunes … Read More »

     
  10. Avatar 3D

    Over the holidays I went to see Avatar three times, you would think the film would rub off and it would get boring knowing the story but I can get totally immersed into this film. The 3D hype is real, the film is beautiful and the acting is great.

    Notes: after doing some research on IMAX and Real3D I chose Real3D even though Boise had an awesome IMAX theatre. Supposedly Real3D does a better job on ghosting in 3D; I also don’t care too much about the sound being loud enough for my ears to bleed ( like IMAX has ). … Read More »
