And the Amish Were None the Wiser
As most of you may know, last Thursday (August 14th, 2003), we had ourselves a little blackout. And when I say little I of course mean the entire north east of North America. For those of you in the dark about what went on (boo!), about 11% of the USA/Canadian power grid died out. No…
Read MoreTears of the Sun
Tears of the Sun was a rather abysmal disappointment to all the hype which surrounded it. Action-wise, it of course delivered (although nowhere near the level of Black Hawk Down). The story line pit Navy S.E.A.L. Bruce Willis against your typical bleeding heart doctor, who he’s supposed to be extracting, and a bunch of Islamic…
Read MoreMost Extreme Elimination Challenge (MXC)
The Synopsis: Take one of the oddest and more renowned Japanese games shows direct off the plane and give it the “What’s Up Tiger Lilly Treatment.” For those who are not to sure on what this means… shame on you! Simply take foreign language footage (Takeshi’s Castle in the case of MXC), toss out the…
Read MoreFear and Loathing In Las Vegas (the movie)
Ok, since I’m reviewing the same story done almost exactly the same way only in two different formats (book and movie), I’m going to make this review short. The movie covers just a bit more than half of the book, ending in the later middle of the original story line of the book. As I…
Read MoreFear and Loathing in Las Vegas (the book)
Quite possibly one of the best literary accomplishments by the “Grand Master of Gonzo Journalism,” Fear and Loathing is the saga of the quest for the “American Dream” by one man and his Samoan lawyer. It begins with one Raul Duke on the road to Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race in Las Vegas…
Read MoreJosie and the Pussycats (the movie)
What can I tell you other than, “Wow?” Suddenly, Martin Lawrence is a comic mastermind and Big Momma’s House is pure comedic gold. Gold I tell you! Gold I say!!! Yes, such is the state of this pathetic atrocity thrust upon the film viewing public. Inserted somewhere in the midst of mindless banter, cheesy pep…

Read MoreEclectic Dreams – 04/30/03
It has been a while since I’ve had a dream that I can remember well. Many are mundane and not worthy of discussion. This one however I feel just has to be written down. Plus it makes a good post filler.I’ll try to get as detailed as I can, but its been a few hours…
Read MoreJust a Random Stab At Fox
Tell the truth now, is there ever a bad time to berate the Fox corporation? I think not. This photo-shenanigan was one I did a while back (around the Man vs. Beast and Firefly Cancellation rants) but just never got to posting it here. But it speaks sooth now as it did back then –…
