Magnificent Obsession is a classic movie of redemption. A playboy scion and med school drop out without a single redeeming characteristic despite his good looks gets into a boating accident after a bout of reckless racing. The medical equipment borrowed from a local doctor inadvertently backfires as the doctor suffers an attack while the equipment [...]
Planet Terror is a modern day remix of the typical zombie pic. Director Rodriguez takes a highly stylistic and studied approach to recreate the look and feel of an old B-movie. Unfortunately, the highlight of the film for me was the fake trailer to Machete that I watched again. It was so hilarious. A Mexican [...]
Yongfook has a heart-warming post about how great it is to develop web apps on Windows and how you’d be foolish to use Windows. As much as I’d like to join in on the gratuitous Windows bashing, I can only say that it’s not quite true unless you’re mainly a designer. That’s not to say [...]
Should software be free as in birds? free as in beer? or free as in speech? I don’t think anyone has the right answer aside from secretly straddling the gray zone between, "piracy is illegal" and "it should all be free". Daniel Jalkut had an interesting post on the topic of free software. It’s [...]
I’m truly shocked that Apple would stoop to such tactics as trying to sneak Safari into a standard iTunes update. It’s a disgrace to Apple’s treasured policy of allowing users complete freedom from hassle in installing only the software that they need. I honestly don’t recall the last time that Apple pushed any updates [...]
According to the latest reports, Japan’s largest cell phone carrier will be using Google’s Android OS for mobile devices which is in turn based on WebKit of all things. NTT DoCoMo Inc. will remove advanced functions and services from its cell phones’ operating software, such as the [...]
I really love my iPod touch. I feel like I’m getting a bit bored with the watch a movie on a train bit and kind of have the yearning to read a good book but then by Friday I’m a zombie and watching a movie is about all I’m good for. If and when the [...]
I basically saw Next because Steve said it was good. And it was. A bit shocking to read that it didn’t do too good in the box office. I think this one is more of a DVD type movie. Cage is a man that can see 2 minutes into his future. You might not think [...]

Jumper had a lot of promise but it was definitely one of those films where if you’ve seen the commercial, you pretty much saw the film, only you get to see all the cutting floor material in between that make it much less entertaining. The first five minutes was probably the most fun. The very [...]
Groundhog Day asks the question, what if your were trapped in today? Bill Murray plays one serious jerk of a weatherman that really doesn’t have any friends. He visits a small town with camera crew to cover the Ground Hog day festivities only to find that he’s trapped to relive the very same day [...]
