Movie review : Avatar
—
A word about 3D I get motion sick fairly easily. So I was a bit apprehensive going in to see this in 3D. I usually avoid 3D screens, and on the occasions that I have experienced them, it was bad. Usually, 3D movies show a few scenes here and there in 3D, but the majority…

Would you like to be a volunteer translator for RunPee?
—
The new RunPee.com is almost ready. The big upgrade to the new design is that it will support multiple languages. There are two main parts that need to be translated: the interface and the individual PeeTimes. Since the only language I know is English – and I’m not even that good at it – I’m…

Movie review : Invictus

Invictus Buy the soundtrack for Invictus Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon.com You won’t find anything wrong with the story, or the acting nor the directing. That’s because Invictus is the product of the best in the business. And who else could possibly play Nelson Mandela besides Morgan Freeman? I’m not even sure this movie…

Movie review : Everybody’s Fine

Everybody’s Fine Buy the soundtrack for Everybody’s Fine Purchase at Amazon.com Another ho-hum movie. Nothing much to say about it, either good or bad. This is a watered down performance from Robert De Niro. Times used to be that De Niro in a movie meant something. But de Niro playing an old man/father is something…

Movie review : Brothers

Brothers [ Spoilers ahead ] This really pisses me off. The previews made the story up to be about an affair between a wife and her husband’s brother while the husband is off fighting in Afghanistan. But there wasn’t an affair. It was nothing but a kiss? Just a kiss? The real drama came from…

Up In The Air Buy the soundtrack for Up In The Air Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon.com A very enjoyable movie. Plenty of laughs and the story doesn’t trod down Predictability Lane. It’s a little difficult to associate with the characters since they lead rather unconventional lives. But the issues they face are similar…

Ninja Assassin Buy the soundtrack for Ninja Assassin Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon.com [ No Spoilers ] The previews billed this as the greatest ninja movie ever.

Movie Review – The Blind Side
The Blind Side is without question the best role I’ve seen Sandra Bullock perform, and she was certainly up to the task. Most of the roles I have seen her in are of the quirky woman variety – Miss Congeniality, All About Steve, Speed, etc. – or the woman in love character: see every other…
