THOR'S DAY RANT: Transformers 2...much!

THOR’S DAY RANT: Transformers 2…much!

Hollywood has got some balls.
I know, because myself, and my children, spent two hours looking at them.
I’m not speaking metaphorically here. I’m talking about actual testes, in robot form, proudly displayed and talked about throughout the entire Transformers sequel. A sequel billed and advertised — for example with Happy Meals and toys — as a [...]

Walt Disney: Can you hire a decent director???

Walt Disney: Can you hire a decent director???

I love dramatic reenactment — skits, plays and, of course, movies. My love most likely stems from the creative side of me. You see, when I watch a movie, I always want to see, hear, feel and smell what the writer and director are trying to convey. And, I want to be “in” the story. [...]

THE TRUTH ABOUT HDTV

THE TRUTH ABOUT HDTV

TV holds a very dear place in my heart. Growing up, I saw more of my TV than my parents. When I was stationed overseas, none of my family wrote me letters, but TV was there for me. When I get home from work, and I’ve had a bad day, I can always plop down [...]

In case you’re new to the caveman, manly movie year end [...]

Iron Man Trailer Part II

This one is wicked cool.
ENJOY!

Iron Man Movie

A guy flying around in a metal suit blowing stuff up, that’s what it looks like, but trailers can be deceiving. Everybody’s telling me the Iron Man movie is the hippest super hero flick since…since, well…apparently it’s the coolest thing ever. Unfortunately, the only thing I have time for is the trailer and it doesn’t [...]

The Forbidden Kingdom

Due out Friday, The Forbidden Kingdom promises to be a Kung Fu, fantasy, action adventure, epic all rolled into one. We’re all holding our breaths until Friday. Looks like fun.

Why children should avoid strange talking cars

A Review of Knight Rider-2008
Well, if it weren’t bad enough that we have to warn our children to avoid strangers, now we have to make sure they aren’t going to watch NBC’s latest offering of “Knight Rider.”
Yep, the classic cheese of a talking, black Trans Am piloted by pre-lifeguard David Hasselhof has been remade for [...]
