I’ve never joined a social-networking site until “D&D: Tiny Adventures”

I’ve never been one to get into these “social-network website” things.  Every time someone asks to add me to their friends list, I say I don’t have an account, and I get a look of confusion.  I have a ton of respect for the social-web thing, I think it’s a great platform and still has [...]

Mouse Guard: Fall 1152 (quick review)

A quick review of

Mouse Guard: Fall 1152

[Amazon][I got mine from Comic Quest]

The official description:

Mouse Guard is comic book written and illustrated by David Petersen. Each mini-series is six issues long and published by Archaia Studios Press as well as a collected hardcover edition [sic]. Villard will be publishing the softcover edition of Mouse [...]

Iron Man (movie review)

Iron Man is all over the place!  It’s already the 2nd best opening for a non-sequel (Spider-Man still at #1) and the 10th largest all-time opening!  But is the movie any good?  I’m very pleased to say it is!

I’m not all that up-to-date with the comics, so I came into the movie with less background [...]

Ender’s Game (book review)

I’ve never been a sci-fi reader. Sure, I’ve read some here and there, but most of my sci-fi exposure has been with movies and TV, not books. A quick look at my humble library confirmed it… I had no sci-fi books (I do remember having the Admiral Thrawn trilogy at my old home).

I decided to [...]

CloverHurl

I came into the movie knowing it’s gonna be a handycam film like Blair Witch. It wasn’t enough to prevent me from feeling like I just came ashore after taking a less than gentle tugboat ride in the sea.

For those who don’t know yet, Cloverfield is a monster movie. The movie [...]

Transformers: The Movie (2007)

It’s 01:18, I just got home from watching the 2.5 hr robot-fest that is Transformers.

Simply put, it might very well be the greatest movie of the year!

I haven’t watched anything that put me at a loss for words in a very long time.  I haven’t enjoyed a movie this much since 300.  The movie is [...]

"Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords" Demo Review

“Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords” is basically a RPG (role-playing game). You pick a class, equip your character with stuff, take on quests, fight baddies, level-up, assign points to your stats, etc. Combat, however, is executed by playing a Bejeweled type puzzle.

Your level and equipment determine your HP (hit-points), and your class [...]

Letters from Iwo Jima redux

I watched “Letters from Iwo Jima” again, this time with my dad (I thought that my dad would appreciate this more than “300″). I was expecting that I wouldn’t be as moved the second time around, but it turns out I was just as moved as the first time I watched. Now, however, [...]

In Pursuit of 300

It’s funny that I started the weekend with a very heavy movie about the difficulties in life, and then ended it with a movie filled with death.

“In Pursuit of Happiness” stars Will Smith as a dad down on his luck and is putting everything on the line on a 20-1 chance of getting a stock [...]

Letters From Iwo Jima

“Letters from Iwo Jima” is the other side of “Flags of Our Fathers“, both movies by Clint Eastwood. “Flags of Our Fathers” is based on a book regarding the battle at Iwo Jima from the point of view of the Iwo Jima flag raisers. “Letters from Iwo Jima” depicts the same battle, but [...]
