Where have all the webheads gone?
I considered writing a review of Spiderman 2 but quickly decided against it. I'm sure that many other people will be giving their own opinions and analyses of this most excellent sequel, but all I want to say is, "Where have all the webheads gone?" True to my form, I purchased tickets hours in...

Vienna Teng live in concert
This is rather a tardy posting when compared to the others, because usually I try to review something within a day or two, if not hours, of seeing it, but in Vienna's case, I actually saw her in concert a week and a half ago. It was on a Tuesday night, whatever date that was, at the Montgomery...

Review: The Day After Tomorrow
Amazing! It's the sleeper hit of the summer. With a surprisingly complex plot and deep character relationships, this movie defies all preconceptions and shows that even modern playwrights can produce work that would do Shakespeare proud. The only area in which it sags is in the special effects as...

Review: Shrek 2
OK. I admit it. I didn't see Shrek 2 on opening night. Four days later, on opening weekend, I finally made my way to the theater to see it. After a dinner of sushi and sake (Yum!), I saved five seats in my row for friends. I've seen this too many times. One person tries to save too many seats, and...

Dubbed Anime vs. Subbed Anime
Where do you stand on this issue? There was a time when I was more fully engrossed, and perhaps more snobby about my anime, when I would have bet my teeth that I would never support the dubbing of anime. After all, Western voices actors could not possibly sound as...well, 'anime-ish' as their...

Super Size Me
This movie opened two weeks ago, and of course I saw it two weeks ago, but as I am only now getting active on BN, oops Blogit, I am compelled to share my thoughts on it. I had initially gone to see it with very low expectations. Documentary....whee.....for a guy who lives on Troy, Gladiator, Matrix,...

Coupling
Did anyone else catch the premiere of Coupling tonight? A controversial sitcom, it boasts obvious sexual innuendoes constantly throughout its 30 minute run. It aired on NBC tonight after the Will & Grace season premiere, and what caught my eye most was the gorgeous Rena Sofer. She first appeared in...

The Justice League of America
I LOVE this cartoon. Well, I wouldn't call it just a cartoon. It's animated drama for the discerning comic fan. Just look at the roster: Superman Batman Flash Martian Manhunter Green Lantern (Jon Stewart) Wonder Woman Hawk Girl First there was Batman, then there was Superman, and then they created a...

Pirates of the Caribbean
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me! Now I see what all of the hype is about, and truly, I can see why the ladies are so taken with Mr. Johnny Depp. He is a scoundrel and rapscallion possessed of the charm of the worst bad boy with a heart of gold. Pirates of the Caribbean is a keg of fun! I can...

S.W.A.T.
This movie is pretty cool. Except for a few very large issues with believability, the writing is excellent. If you can stomach the premise, then you will enjoy the rest of the movie. However, who can believe that the possible reward of $100 million dollars would cause every gang member and organized...
