Star Blazers - Space Battleship Yamato: Rebirth

Well, who here has ever heard of the Argo (Yamato)? If you were a child who watched cartoons in the 70’s and 80’s, then you know what I am talking about. Anime had its television beginning in America with Speed Racer in the 60’s. It was soon followed by the likes of Star Blazers, Battle [...]

Living your dream(s) through your children

Life sucks. That truth, along with death and taxes, are inevitable and the mainstay of any pessimist. Any real optimist will tell you that bad things happen to everyone and things will get better. I don’t believe things get better for good. I believe that we all go through times of good and bad. Unfortunately, [...]

TRON Legacy - Cyber freaks and tech geeks unite!

I never thought I would see the day, that there would be a really good remake or reboot of a classic movie (or series) that was good or just plain makes sense enough to spend the money on. The Friday the 13th series has made an attempt, along with Holloween and the Chainsaw Massacre. All [...]

Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, reviewed

Rated PG for some mild rude humor and peril, 1hr. 34min.

The family and I just got back from seeing this movie in 3-D. Blue Sky just keeps getting it right with the Ice Age franchise! When other filming houses are pumping out toilet humor and swearing-lite flicks, it is a joy to see a movie [...]

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

PG13 for intense sequences of sci-fi action violence, language, some crude and sexual material, and brief drug material. 1hr. 30min.

Don’t waste your money. Any fan of the cartoon series should be angry and ashamed of this horrible piece of celluloid garbage. If you thought the first movie was bad, then you’re gonna hate this one. [...]

Wong Fei-Hung and Iron Monkey.

Rated: PG-13 for Martial Arts Action/Violence and brief Sexuality. 1hr. 25min.
I had the pleasure of watching Iron Monkey for the first time last night. I have once again been reminded why I love everything the amazing Yeun Woo-ping touches (i.e. Matrix, Crouching Tiger, Forbidden Kingdom, etc). The thing I respect most of the genre, is [...]

To Boldy Go Where No Star Trek Has Gone Before?

Rated: PG-13, sci-fi action and violence, and brief sexual content. 2hr. 6min.

I am a Trekkie from way back. The different tv series’ have always been a favorite for me. I love TOS, enjoyed much of TNG, liked the deeper stories of Voyager, appreciated elements of what Enterprise was supposed to bring (at least in the [...]

Penguins 2009 Stanley Cup Dreams and Rock ‘n Roll

Well, game 3 was anything but stellar from the black-n-gold. Visiting the city of sibling rivalry (commonly referred to as brotherly love) has put a damper on the Pens’ thoughts of finishing this series early. Game 4 will really tell the tale of how much the loss has damaged the frosty exteriors of Crosby, Malkin [...]

Pixar Short, Presto

I love Pixar. They are true masters of animation and comedy. If you are having a bad day, then please watch this little short. If you’ve never seen it before, try not to laugh to loudly (especially if you are at work). This short was the theatrical opening for Wall-E, another great Pixar movie, and [...]

The Tale of Despereaux Movie Review

G - 1hr. 40min.

The kids loved this movie. I really enjoyed it too. There is a warning to parents that the theaters continue to play inappropriate previews for the age group that kids movies are intended for. This is either an oversight or possibly a planned infiltration of the innocence of today’s innocents.
After the barrage [...]
