Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Review No. 2) »
By Trevor A. I haven’t really seen an entire Indiana Jones movie before, so this was a first to me. I understood what it was really all about. And I thought the third movie was good because it showed the connection between Indy and his father. That and Sean Connery was in it and he’s [...]
Dyson DC-14 Animal Vacuum Cleaner (Purple) »
By Glen A. Dyson, along with Oreck, is a brand of vacuum I’ve always wanted to try. They’re spendier than others, which is one of the reasons why I haven’t. We’ve gone after the “cheaper” upright vacuums (cheaper being $200-$300), and usually after a couple of years, there’s an issue with them. We have a [...]
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull »
By Glen A. It’s been 19 years since Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the third and supposedly final Indiana Jones movie, came out. A lot has happened in the intervening years here in reality, and so has, we find out, in the life of Dr. Jones. Not only has 19 years passed there as [...]
The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (DVD) »
By Glen A. While there are plenty of so called kids movies I’d buy, The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep was my wife’s idea. I didn’t know anything about it, but apparently she did, and wanted to see it. Having been in theaters last Christmas and then to DVD in April, she found it [...]
Halo 3: Team Swat is for Spasmoids »
By Glen A. A couple months ago, Team Swat started appearing as an option on Xbox Live for Halo 3. I love Swat, and so does a friend of mine. Remembering the good times spent in Swat with Halo 2, we decided to check it out. So did more than 100,000 other people. Each weekend [...]
Mario Kart (Wii) »
By Trevor A. Mario is back in his ride and he’s brought a new way to drive it: the WiiMote Steering Wheel. It’s quite a different experience. You are given the choice between the WiiMote itself, or attaching the steering wheel to the controller. I prefer using the steering wheel, as you have more room [...]
Go Speed Racer, Go! (Review No. 2) »
By Trevor A. Who doesn’t know Speed Racer? Since the late 1960s, children around the world have been growing up with him. The show was called Mach Go Go Go in Japan, but Americans know the cartoon better as Speed Racer, a cartoon about automobile racing, family, and corny dialogue. A lot of that is [...]
Speed Racer–The critics don’t know what they’re talking about »
By Glen A. When I learned the Wachowski Brothers (think the Matrix trilogy) were helming a live action version of the popular 60s japanese cartoon, Speed Racer, I couldn’t wait to see it. I know I didn’t see every episode of Speed Racer when I was a child, but I did enjoy the program a [...]
Iron Man (Review No. 2) »
By Trevor A. I always teased my brother about Iron Man, since that’s his favorite superhero character, being a cheapskate and using technology to create a suit for him to become a superhero. I never really paid much attention to any of the cartoons or the comic books of Iron Man, mostly because I thought [...]
Update #4: 4GB iPhone »
By Glen A. I’ve been noticing some kind of idiosyncrasy with the battery life on my 4GB iPhone. One thing I learned quickly, thanks to the posts of others in a couple forums I read, was not to charge it overnight. Something happens to the battery if you do that a lot. So, I’ve been [...]
Iron Man–blasting into a theater near you »
By Glen A. I am a Marvel comic book fan from at least 1980. Not sure if this is unusual or not, but I didn’t really get into comic books until I was 14. The books I read were X-Men, Spider-man, Fantastic Four, and amid some others, Iron Man. The ability to essentially put on [...]
