I feel 10 years old.

Because when I woke up today my first thought was this:

"G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra opens in two weeks ( Read more... )

It is really unlike me to go 4 to 5 days without any kind of update. But these are strange times all around. A lot of my longtime LJ amigos are updating less. Another seems to have fallen off the face of the planet (and I miss her and I'm actually worried, so I wish she would give me a sign ( Read more... )

We saw Star Trek yesterday and I'll base my mini-review and what I saw through the eyes of my 9 year-old and 12 year-old sons.

Our two boys had no idea who Captain James T. Kirk is, who Spock is, who William Shatner is (aside from the commercials he does), who Leonard Nimoy is, etc. They do know who Captain Jean-Luc Picard is because I had to give ( Read more... )

I just got back from seeing Iron Man. And, wow, did it ever kick monster ass ( Read more... )

There's a new Rambo movie?!

Jesus, Sly, why not just make a sequel to Cobra while you're at it or, please, provide us with a second installment to answer all the unanswered questions from Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot!

Tango & Cash 2Eh... maybe not ( Read more... )

When I was a kid -- growing up in the Reagan 80's -- I was a total G.I. Joe freak. I had an arsenal of them. I wanted every character and when I'd get a new action figure I'd even carefully cut their bio card off the back of the package so I could read up on their history, rank, real name, code name, specialties, and their weapon(s) of choice ( Read more... )
