According to io9.com, Hollywood is out to take a dump on another of my favorite childhood memories. This time, their target is Bill and Ted. The remake dares to take out and modify some of the most key components of the original films, such as the phone booth (being replaced with something “a little more…
My Thoughts on Blue-Ray and the PS3 So Far
As I’ve written before, I recently purchased a Sony Playstation 3 with my income tax refund. I must say, it’s completely awesome. It’s everything I expected it to be, and I only wish there were more hours of the day for me to play with it. I purchased several downloadable games including PAIN, Everyday Shooter…
Like Johnny Cash, All Black
This past week of my life went by pretty slowly, and enjoyably. The university I work for (and several of my friends still attend) was on Spring Break last week. I still had to work, but it was considerably easier with the students gone. It really felt like I was on my own Spring Break,…
The Raging Tech on Vantage Point
Last night some friends and I took opportunity to go to the local theatre and see the film Vantage Point, a film told in five perspectives about the supposed attempted assassination of the President of the United States of America while at a summit in Spain. The film stars Dennis Quaid, Forest Whitaker, Matthew Fox,…
The Road to Not-Sickville
I’ve been sick with a head cold since the night before my birthday last week, but I think it’s subsiding. I feel less and less like death every day. But apparently my cold hopped hosts and has taken out half my team at work. Even with major system malfunctions, smart planning and some intervention by…
Oscar Season is Upon Us
The Agence France-Presse reports that the Academy Awards nominees have been made, and near the top of the list are two dark-themed movies, No Country for Old Men and epic oil-industry thriller There Will Be Blood. One of my favorite actresses, Cate Blanchett is up for two awards nominations in the categories of Best Actress…
Point Blank Critic Reviews Cloverfield
There was a lot of hype, but did Cloverfield live up to the expectations of movie-goers? You can’t always judge based on box office numbers. I think the primary problem with most people’s movie-viewing experiences is based on their expectations going into the movie. It’s not always the quality of the film, but whether or…
Where Are They Now: Bio-Dome
I’m sitting here watching Bio-Dome starring Paulie Shore and Stephen Baldwin (and even more notably, Kylie Minogue), and I can’t help but wonder: what ever happened to Paulie Shore and Stephen Baldwin? I mean, I understand that people wouldn’t care enough to check in on them from time to time. I don’t know that I…
Snowed In? Slack Out with Your Mac Out
With wintry weather upon us, a lot of people are unable to even leave their houses today. We’re fortunate enough to have light snowfall today and the roads aren’t bad. My roommate picked up Family Guy: Blue Harvest and my Netflix movies came in: Mystery Science Theater 3000 – the episode where they watch Mitchell…
The Point Blank Critic
My friend just recently decided to start his own review blog called The Point Blank Critic. He’s really into trying new kinds of beer, Apple (Mac) computers and products, music, movies, video games, and technology in general. He also happens to be a pretty good cook, and one of my best friends. These last two…
