Today I’m going to go back to do some video editing. I’ve already produced 2 movies (don’t get too excited if you aren’t a family member because they are just family movies). If you are interested, you can see them in my Gallery (see the top of the page then go to the video section [...]

Check out the new quotes
I’ve added something fun. I’m a bit of a Buffy fan so when I came across a WordPress Plugin that not only did quotes but allowed you to change the quotes and images that go along with the quotes BUT EVEN MORE had already done the work for Buffy I got very excited. So I [...]
New Videos
I’m officially a video producer and director – pretty cool! Ok, ok, they are only family movies but I finally got off my duff and started making the movies. The first 2 are up in our Gallery (see our Gallery via the tab at the top of the page, then navigate to Videos, then to [...]
Movie Reviews – Who to trust?
I love movies and even occasionally try to write a review (though I’ve been a bit lazy lately so I should get back to it). I have a home theater which allows me a pretty nice experience at home (when my family allows it) to watch movies. I collect movies I like a whole lot [...]
Harry Potter Mania!
Xander is finally getting excited about Harry Potter. The movie has been out for a week or so and he is really out for us to go see it this weekend. Kathy and I screened it last week (pretty entertaining though lots of bits left out). He’s not letting up so we’ll probably take care [...]
I got the “Wicked” CD today
I blogged about 6 months ago about seeing the musical “Wicked”. The musical is based on the book of the same name. The book was interesting but very dry. In fact it was dry enough that there were several times during the reading that I wasn’t sure that I could finish it. The musical, on [...]
TV – Harry Dresden
The SciFi Network original TV series Dresden Files about an actual wizard named Harry Dresden is based on a series of books (I’ve reviewed them here in my blog so look in the archives). I’ve been somewhat disappointed in the series to date. It’s been pretty flat. In general, I’m ok with adaptations being different [...]
TV – upcoming
I’m not one to usually get all that excited about new shows but one upcoming show has got my interest.? It’s a show that going to be on the SciFi channel called “The Dresden Files”. I’ve read a bunch of Jim Butcher’s books about Harry Dresden, the main character.? Harry is a wizard, you see, [...]
Movie Review: The Island
I’ve seen reviews of the movie The Island and they were not positive.? They tended towards mediocre at best.? It used to be that movies that got reviews like this would be movies that I would have no choice but to stay away from but with the advent of Netflix, I can watch movies that [...]
Play Review: Wicked
Kathy decided a few months ago that she wanted to take us to see a musical called Wicked. I said sure. It never occurred to me, at the time, to ask what it was about. As it got close though, Kathy told me what it was about and it turns out I knew all about [...]
Movie Review: Rent
Kathy and I just watch Rent via Netflix. WOW! I mean that in many ways both positive and negative. The music was fabulous from top to bottom. The music itself evoked immense emotion throughout every song. The lyrics were at times every day sort of dialog (ok, every day sort of dialog that inner city [...]
Movie Review – Pirates 2
Ok, I’m a little late in doing this review. I’m not quite understanding what Hollywood is trying to do with the movies they are putting out lately. I mean that I understand they are trying to do different things so they can get more people to the theaters but…these inordinately long films are not the [...]
TV Review – Eureka
I’m not actually done with watching the pilot yet (we’re about 2/3rds but we are heading to bead soon) but I thought I’d get a quick post out. Anyway, I think I’ve found another really interesting and truly odd show. The premise is that it’s about a town that has a bunch of scientists working [...]
Movie Review: Superman Returns
OK, I admit it. I am a comic book geek. For much of my life I collected comic books (and in fact still have a big collection) and am a big fan of super hero comic books and any movies made about them. In fact, Superman is my favorite. I love the notion of a [...]
Movie Review: Xmen 3
This latest in the series of X-men movies takes off where the last one left off. A quick reminder, the person who had put the Adamantium (the super duper hard metal) onto Wolverine’s skeleton had recreated Cerebro and was using a captured Xavier to try and kill all the mutants in the world. Of course, [...]
