Movie Review: Sex and the City

I finally did it. After making four separate plans, Leah and I went to see Sex and the City today at 11:30. It was the first show on a Sunday and there were only four people in the theater total. This made it easy as my bladder kept needing release in the middle of the movie. I would have been so... Sign in to see full entry.

Movie Review: V is for Vendetta

I finally saw V is for Vendetta tonight. I’m really getting use out of those channels I ordered last night. Go me, at least it’s not a wasted expense. V is a movie set in a horrifyingly totalitarian Britain after the United States has totally collapsed into anarchy. Everything is illegal there,... Sign in to see full entry.

Movie Review: Children of Men

I've wanted to watch this movie for forever. I was actually planning to go see it in the theater, but by the time I was no longer poor, it had left the theater. Last night I saw it, it was coming on Cinemax, and on a totally spur-of-the-moment thing, especially for someone who's about to be $600 in... Sign in to see full entry.

Commentary: We Need to Stop Mountain Top Removal in Appalachia

I was letting my assistant use my computer to view her homework assignment which was to watch these videos on mountain top removal. As I’m a bit of an environmentalist myself, I watched too. I was horrified to learn that mountain top removal actually meant mountain top removal. I didn’t know you... Sign in to see full entry.

Movie Review: Cars

I just saw the movie Cars. I know it came out a long time ago, but I really liked it and since I have a DVR I could record it and save it for when I needed a break (namely today). I started out watching the movie as I always do typing away in front of my computer, but then I began to get tired and... Sign in to see full entry.

Movie Review: Horton Hears a Who...

Horton Hears a Who is a cute take on the Doctor Seuss book of the same name, and I was happy to be watching it (although certain parts of it didn’t make sense). What, for example, is a Journey song doing in a kid’s movie? Watch, and see what I mean. It stayed true to the book which made me really... Sign in to see full entry.

movie review: Doomsday

Doomsday is basically a big budget action blow-up flick that tries to be politically aware by including references to military dictatorship and government conspiracies which are all hot topics at the moment. The main character of the story is Eden Sinclair, a major in the Department of Domestic... Sign in to see full entry.

News: Global Warming and the All American Burger

Every American eats on average 3 cheese burgers per week. That might be gross, as it is in my opinion. There are about 300,000,000 million Americans. Acording to scientist Jamais Cascio, of the Instite for the Future, who appeared in a global warming special called Six Degrees Could Change the World... Sign in to see full entry.

Commentary: Two Funny Things

I’m busy watching a dog show and the announcer just said something funny. He was critiquing people who own Rottweilers too look tough. He said “If you need to own a Rottweiler to look macho; I have news for you. You’re not macho!” A few days ago, I was watching a one man show about his friendship... Sign in to see full entry.

News: State of the Union

Yesterday I finally watched the State of the Union address. One of the things that really horrified me was Bush's desire to restart our nation's nuclear power program. Not that I'm in favor of faith based schools, or privitizing Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, but the nuclear power thing... Sign in to see full entry.
