Scott Pilgrim, Volume 6

Monday, July 19th, 2010

Previously (okay, more than a year ago), I had written about this little Canadian comic graphic novel series about a 23 year old who is learning about love, rockin’ out as the bass player in the band Sex Bob-Omb! and just generally hanging out with his friends. I haven’t heard if anyone decided to give [...]

Survivor: Blindside

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

I’ll try to keep the spoilers to a minimum here, so if you haven’t seen tonight’s episode yet, don’t worry.
As a long (long, long) time fan, having just watched Survivor: Samoa tonight, I can say with great certainty and enthusiasm that this season is awesome. If you haven’t watched the show in years, or maybe [...]

Big Bang Bust?

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

I watched this week’s episode of The Big Bang Theory tonight and, although it was episode six of the season, it was only the second good episode (in my opinion; the first being the one where Raj was going to be deported). What happened to this show? It used to be ‘must see, tv’ for [...]

And The Oscar Goes To… Who?

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

I’m going to try and keep this very short: I haven’t seen any of the movies that were nominated for a major Oscar/Academy Award this year. What’s up with that? Just to be clear, this is a list of movies that I have not (yet) seen:

Changling
Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Doubt
Frost/Nixon
Frozen River
Milk
Rachel Getting Married
The Reader
Slumdog Millionaire
The [...]

Week of Silence

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

During this, NaBloPoMo, I certainly didn’t expect to go a week without posting! Unfortunately, that seems to have been the case. I never intended on commenting on a missed day here or there this month, but a week without posting is a bit too much to ignore.
These last two weeks have been great for me [...]

Iron Man was Awesome

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

On opening night, I was there. Iron Man. It rocked, it was awesome, it was so much more than ‘just another superhero’ movie.
I didn’t know a lot about Iron Man (read: I’d skimmed the Wikipedia entry) before I went into the theatre last Friday night. In a super-tiny nutshell, Tony Stark (aka “Iron Man”) worked [...]

Star Wars Trilogy

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

As advertised, Spike (tv channel) has been showing all six of the Star Wars movies over the past two weekends. I can’t say that I watched all or even most of them, but I did catch a surprising amount of footage while they were on. I was reminded of a few things:

the newer, prequel [...]
