I finished up Golden Compass this morning. DAMN! Polar Bears can throw down! Other than that, meh, it was a little confusing. I found myself backing up a lot. I guess it's too much fantasy for me. I find that is often the case whenever I see someone try to merge fantasy with technology ( Read more... )

Today at work, it felt as if the ball kept getting dropped. Every hour, there was some sort of scheduling snafu that just put a damper on the rest of the hour. Plus I found out yesterday that, due to lack of tables, five hours are getting cut out of my schedule. I'm a bit frustrated that this is completely out of my control and due, in part, to ( Read more... )

I just got through watching "P2" and "There Will Be Blood." Both were big disappointments. P2 tells the story of a woman being tormented by a parking attendant in a parking garage on Christmas Eve. His behavior reminded me of a wanna be "Twue Dominate Master"; so caught up in his delusions that he doesn't see what's real anymore. Plus, I found ( Read more... )

Yesterday rocked in oh so many ways. I watched "Lions for Lambs" and "Music Within" and I loved them both. "Lions for Lambs" was not like "Rendition", which is what I was expecting. Instead it focused on why two characters joined the Army and how the person that inspired them to do so, felt about it. Had I watched this 10 years ago, I would ( Read more... )

I got another movie from Netflix last night and watched it this morning. "Fetish: Pain or Pleasure" was such a let down. Quoted from the envelope: "Feeling naughty? This titillating documentary unmasks the mysteries of bondage-domination and sadomasochism by demonstrating actual techniques for spanking, electrotorture, needle play and rope ( Read more... )

I finally joined Netflix. For the past year, I've been using the MVP program at Hollywood. With Netflix, I get one more movie out at a time for five bucks less per month. And I don't have to go down to the video store anymore. I walk by a mailbox six days a week, so that won't be any inconvenience at all. Though I will miss asking the clerks' ( Read more... )

No Country for Old Men - WTF? This movie was very confusing. It was as if they focused on getting the killing sequences right and didn't bother to worry about the plot. In a word, creepy ( Read more... )

I spent most of the day munching on the corned beef I made last night. It was soooo good, especially with horseradish and mustard. Yeah, not going vegetarian any time soon. This is the one meat I could never get tired of ( Read more... )

Last night I watched "Hitman" and this morning I watched "Stargate: the Ark of Truth" and "Awake." All of them rocked in their own way ( Read more... )

This week, I watched two interesting movies. The first was "Goya's Ghosts." It tells the story of an artist and a priest at the time of the Spanish Inquisition. The highlight for me was the torture scene. Seeing Natalie Portman's character being tortured really fed my demons... in a good way ( Read more... )
