Monster House, A Review

We took Balthazar to see “Monster House” this past weekend. He really enjoys watching movies, so when there’s something appropriate on for his attention span, we love to take him. This time was a little different. He’s been watching the previews on TV and specifically requested “Monster House.” We were so impressed that he made… Continue reading Monster House, A Review

Serenity, The Movie

My wife and I watched Serenity Saturday evening. We both really enjoyed the movie. We’ve both seen the first and only season in its entirety, and were saddened to see it cancelled. Despite this, the fans rallied and helped to get a movie made from the TV show. The original cast starred in the film… Continue reading Serenity, The Movie

Free Chapel Presents The Story of Christmas

My wife, a good friend of ours, and I were hired to perform for Free Chapel’s production of The Christmas Story in Gainesville this past weekend. The show was probably astounding, though I’ve haven’t seen it yet. It works out that way for those of us that are actually in the play. Getting it together… Continue reading Free Chapel Presents The Story of Christmas

Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire

**MINOR SPOILER COMING** We saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire this weekend over the holiday. It’s the first movie we’ve seen in quite some time. I’m glad we did, too. It was really an enjoyable movie and certainly grown up from the original. The movies, like the books, are doing well to keep… Continue reading Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire

The Apprentice: Trump vs. Vader

Looks like I’ll be watching “The Apprentice” tonight! A special Star Wars edition will be shown – I noticed in the previews that Chewbacca is sent packing…and his little pink suitcase too! Very funny, though I can’t say that I agree with Chewbacca’s release. Check out the trailer here and watch the show tonight. **UPDATE:… Continue reading The Apprentice: Trump vs. Vader

They also have WETA doing their digital work and weapons/armor. I’m thrilled that they’ve made such great moves towards the success of this film. Because I know… Continue reading In Gaming News

R. Kelly’s Urban Opera

Amy pulled me in this evening to witness R. Kelly’s latest masterpiece, the Urban Opera: Trapped in the Closet. I don’t know much about R. Kelly, but I know enough now that I won’t be listening to anything further from him. Then again, the comedic entertainment factor of his opera was great enough that I… Continue reading R. Kelly’s Urban Opera

No Surprise to the Scientologists

village voice \ Disinformation \ Mystery Scientology Theater The ominous tagline in early trailers for the alien invasion blockbuster War of the Worlds was "They’re Already Here" – but any learned Scientologist could have told you that long ago. As you may have heard, WOTW star Tom Cruise is a 20-year veteran of the Church… Continue reading No Surprise to the Scientologists

Hayao Miyazaki Films

So far, I’m very impressed with Miyazaki’s work. Admittedly, I’ve only seen “Spirited Away,” but I purchased the DVD and have seen it multiple times. I’ve seen previews and read reviews about the other films, which I would like one day to see. Miyazaki has finished another film, “Howl’s Moving Castle.” It releases to select… Continue reading Hayao Miyazaki Films

Atlanta Photo Stroll 5

That’s “V” for you Romans. This stroll took place in Roswell around the Old Roswell Mill area. I think everyone had a good time, though there may have been a poison ivy victim. The place was crawling with various identifiable types of poison ivy. I have (so far) managed to avoid all contact with it,… Continue reading Atlanta Photo Stroll 5
