This movie was previously release in 1993. 13 years later, it has been released in 3-D format. I would have thought it was awesome but I think I would have enjoyed it better if I had more sleep before. In any case, the tale is pretty good for children if they are not scare of anything. I am sure that graphics was great. Anyway, I would recommend it. Yeah, I know it is short but I am still

I recently took a tango lesson with my friend. I did not do too well. In any case, when do you do well for your first time. In any case, I am sticking with it but I do need to get shoes for this. The instructor gave us a list of olaces to buy shoes. He also gave us a list of songs to listen to so we can match the beat.The one thing he wants us to do is practice.

As you previously read, I saw the Grudge 2. You might sense some bias from reading my theatre experience. However, I try to look at the movie at all angles. One thing I noted, the film is very disjointed. There is a very slow build with some missing person scare moments. There are three stories being told at the same time where two finally get linked. But it takes way too long to explain

After watching the Departed, I was walking with my friend. We were trying to weave our way around traffic, vehicle and people traffic.

Ok, you know what the definition of labor is. If you are a woman, it means giving birth. If you are a man or a woman, it should mean that you are working. Why do I bring this up?

For something simple, this dance thing is really hard. In any case, I was determine to dance tango. In this class, I learn how to walk and guide my partner to where I want to go. Of course I was a little uncoordinated and a little unbalanced. Considering this is my first time, I think I did pretty well.

I looked forward to this movie with somewhat high expectation. I also thought there would be more nudity but there was only two scene which made the film better. However, the film lack passion and there were moments where I just didn't care. The major plot is a freshman in college falls for a beautiful woman in the art circuit. However, she is in love with another artist. The freshman begins to

So I was going to learn how to tango but a lot of factors I did not count on. 1. My friend was stuck at the Lincoln Tunnel. She was pretty much delayed for about 30 minutes. 2. It's really hot here in NYC3. The AC is out. 4. Since my friend is late, so I have not eaten yet.But, hopefully, I can salvage this promising learning experience. She still wants to dance and I am hestitent because I

How did I do it? Easy. I went to the casino. Well, since the Deliruim show was at Atlantic City, I might as well, try my luck at the table. Before the show, I decided to get a card and try out my luck. I put down $100 and play heads up Texas Hold 'em against the dealer. I only played for 30 minutes because the show would have started. I end up leaving the table with 160. Not bad if I do say so

As expected, Cirque du Soleil shows are not your typical shows. However, the show is very atypical for even a Cirque show. The show actually starts as a concert. The musicans and singers completes about three to four songs and announces that there will be a 20 min intermission.

Never has a movie with high expectation meet them since probably X-Men. But Superman has. Bryan Singer continues his success in holding true to the mythology rather than rape it. However, I may have spoke too soon with one surprise scene that moviegoer may not know. In any case, the movie is spectacular. Lex and Superman is a very good combination of villain and hero.

Yeah, it was about third movie in about week. But I really wanted to see Cars. Cars is developed by Pixar in the computer animation. The movie is not at par with some of the other films. It was good (don't get me wrong) but comparing it to Toy Story, Bugs Life, Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo, and Incredibles, it is one of the bottom films out there.

Although I was looking forward to this film, Bryan Singer decline to direct the third film in favor of Superman Returns. So I deal with Brett Ratner and boy he does it in extreme comic fashion. He kills off three major characters and neutralizes two characters. It pretty much changes the universe. Though I would think it would survive the comic book universe, I am not sure if it would survive

I really did not want to see this film so I will try to take this as an objective view. If you like over the top acting then you will love this film. Jack Black has not shame in what he needs to do to get a laugh. The will do embarassing karoke, attempt to make it to the top in wrestling and try to impress a girl without ruining his vows. In any case, if you like Jack Black, you will definitely

This movie was actually decent. My only problem. Tom Cruise. The man is an idiot. I have to place Mr. Cruise on a 100% boycott because he does not respect anyone views but his own. In any case, the film was good. However, I believe that JJ Abrams brings his own flavor to the Mission Impossible myth. In any case, JJ Abrams uses his Alias experience to the fold of Mission Impossible. Of

Though the movie takes pop shots at the smoking industry, it shows the hypocrisy in what we do. We should be given choices. This movie is about choice. We should inform our kids so that they can make an inform decision. When we alter things to restrict our choice, human nature tells us to move the other way. Though I am not supporting the fact that you should encourage these actions, you

My friend Mark, the horror film fan, wanted to watch this film. When I described it to Dusty, she told me it reminder her of Tremors or Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Basically, it is campy fun horror. You should not take this too seriously like The Grudge or The Hills Have Eyes. Anyway, if you want some campy fun, you should see this movie. You want mindless fun. I recommend this movie.

If you like detective noir novels, you may like this film. I certainly enjoyed it. Think 1940's detective crime novels. But to add to the twist, you remove the genre but not the style. In its place, you place it in a modern high school, where you have levels a society from the popular and rich to the seedy crimeworld. In the end, everything falls into place in any attempts in solving the

I went to see two movies this past weekend. Stay Alive and the Hills Have Eyes. All I can say, both horror thrillers have the makings of a B movie of the poorest quality.

This movie was awesome. It was not action packed but the story telling in this movie is far superior than some of the movies that are currently out there for an action film. My only problem is that does it hold true to the book. I believe in spirit it would hold true but the story was updated to current times.

Spamalot ticket were well worth its price. Though it replicated a lot of the film, they added more bits to update the comedy. More elaborate scenes, added Monty Python jokes from other movies, offending more types of people. There was a brief scene of crowd participation. And with the original cast leaving by the end of November, you should attempt to see this play.They did cut out some

After watching It Takes a Thief, I am trying to be a nut on hoome security. If you noticed, they offer products but it is hard to find the stuff you need to secure your house.

I watched this movie with a friend of mine. Unfortunately, my friend is more exciting story rather than development of the story. This movie is indeed slow. A lot of the movie was slow down purposely to build tension. But, I think I would have collected Social Security at this pace. The movie is good but the director took too much time in developing the tension. The tension was there and I

Yeah, I have been busy. If anything I will give you the quick run down. - I still have not had my trip to the gentleman club.- I had my second Parade practice- There is a rush in my job to get things done.- I am currently in Warren NJ- Living Room is about 80% complete (sofa, end tables complete; projector mounted; sound system is 40% complete; no tv tables yet; coffee table needs to be built)-

I discover this show on my DirecTV commercial section. DirecTV occasionally places a trailer advertisement that may seem remotely interesting. Anyway, I came across this show and I thought it was a great idea. I must say, it is one of the few reality TV shows I watch. Victims still do it for the 15 minutes of fame but the show is educational as well in what to look for and what to do to

I discovered this show while figuring out what movies I wanted to see during the Free Starz weekend package. Brainiac demonstrates various wacky science experiments that we would not dream of doing because it was stupid, uneconomical, outrageous, or just plain offensive to the religious right. Like, does looking a women breast give you an equivalent intensive workout. Or in a life threatening

Recently, I was given two last minute invitations to parties that I could have attend this week but I did not. One, I was already home when I got the message about a party at the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Apparently, the girls were cute, free food and free billiards. The second was a wine party where for 25 dollars you sample up to 30 wines and free food. I would have love to go if I

It has been 4 years since that fateful day. People remember but they want to remember in their own way. Some do not want to be at the site. Some people do. Some people want a memorial for the lost ones who will never come back. Some people want to move on. It has been 4 years and no foundation has been pour for the Freedom tower. So many changes of plans for security, emotion consideration

Ok, my weekend was not as I hoped. First of all, there was this event that I was suppose to go on Saturday but I was kind of early. About 2 weeks early. Kind of embarassing. My friend and I salvaged the day by going to see Green Street Hooligans. I would not say it is a coming of age but more like an individual finding myself and building confidence to stick by his friends that he thought he

So Friday night is coming and I have a big weekend ahead of me. I still have two pieces of furniture to finish building (the sofa and the coffee table). My aunt wants me to finish the coffee table last but I really want to work on it now so I can see the condition of the table. I might do it tonight just so I can get it out of the way. I guess what I can do is get the rest of the useless

From a post that I forgot to put up on 8/31/2005The mayor of Biloxi would like to compare his disaster to that of the tsunami. Though I am all for PR to help in your cause. The hurricane of Katrina pales in comparison. The tsunami hit without warning and people on had about 2 hours maybe to evacuate. Weather forecasts tracked this storm for about 4 days before it made landfall. I am not

After watching Appleseed in the theatres with the amazing graphics and decent storytelling, I went on a buying spree to get ultra cool anime. Anime for those who do not know is short for Japanese animation. For whatever reason, anime is culturally different for whatever reason. They have terrible and great anime just like any other animation films. What makes anime unique is the presentation

Almost as funny as Wedding Crashers, this movie depicts exact cliches on a male geek's life. How one collects toys and keeps them in prsitine condition. Of course if he concentrated on dating as much as he does with toys, he would not be a virgin. However, the vagina pestesdal prevents him from pursuing any further. In any case, this movie would be equally funny as wedding crashers if the

Well, I have a living room set. I went to IKEA at the last minute (due to my brother indecisions) and got a couch (KLIPPAN) and coffee table and a two end tables. The coffee tables was not what I wanted because it would not match the end table color so I had to change it. This is disappointing becuase I really liked the Grande coffee table. Instead I got a LIATORP which was white. You have

Looks like the personal firewall arena is slow decreasing out of favor. Kerio is now getting out of the personal firewall business. Zone Alarm is not as dependable as it once was. Sygate is no longer free as it once was. Someone on the dslreports.com boards recommended Outpost Firewall. It looks nifty considering home use license for 5 users is 79.00 for 1 year support and 120 for 2 year

So last night, I went to a friend's birthday party. We went to a bar called the Irish Pub on 7th Avenue between 53rd and 54th street. We just drank to our heart content. Anyway, the discussion as we drank ranged from sports to Spamalot to pictures and eventually sex. Anyway...Apparently there is this obsession in my group of friends that I hang out with. They really want me to get laid. Kind

Last night I got in touch with two friends. One who I have not seen in about 6 months. Another I have not seen since GenCon. My 6 month catch up with my friend was mostly related to Salon and how I should return. It brought back bad memories. Afterwards, we takled about some of the other organizations we joined as well as religion, society, dating, etc. It was mental stimulating finding to

Well, the game I looking to create will be inline with the Shadowforce Archer line (currently defunct). However, I would like to run the Dark Inheritance game with that line. Unfortunately, I need help setting up at my house. I need a sofa, coffee table and TV dinner tables. Once I have that, I can start having guests at my place (maybe even have a Texas Hold'Em tournament) like having

I found a Spycraft game to join. Apparently, my friend (a recent addition to our room buddies for GenCon) told me about this and I hooked up through the actual Game Control. The game is set for the 1960's where the Cold War starts to gain steam and importance. They just ended the campaign and it looks like they are start a new campaign with new characters. This would be perfect for me. And

So my get-together with my friend was an enjoyable evening as I took her to Cento Vasca on 23rd Street and went to see Wicked afterwards. Wicked is based on a book written by (insert Author). It basically re-tells the story between the good witch and the wicked witch of the west. However, the good witch does not seem really that good and the wicked witch was not really that wicked. Anyway, it
