Ponderings For 2008-06-29
Nice short post today to make up for the lack of them recently… For those that missed news of the big event, Bill Gates officially stepped down at Microsoft on Friday, ending a major era of computing. One little tidbit: I’m roughly as old as …

2008 Pilot Season Preview Part 1
It’s that time again. Time to start checking out the leaked copies of the new fall season TV series pilots. As always, many of these are original pilot cuts where cast members and scenes will be recast and reshot. These original pilots aren’t always completely …

Wanted (9/10)
It’s funny how some movies can get away with the ridiculous, almost by the simple act of embracing said insanity. From physical insanity like curving bullets to mythological insanity like the “Loom Of Fate” (a truly brilliant piece of make-believe), it’s hard to not be …

WALL-E (10/10)
Put simply, WALL-E is the reason I’m a movie fan. I’ve been a PIXAR fanboy for many years. In fact, I’ve been a fan of theirs longer than most others, because it predates Toy Story. I’ve been a follower of the technologies of computer animation …

Ponderings For 2008-06-22
RIP: George Carlin – may you be stuck on the roof for a great long while I’m going to go off on a topic at the moment which is a bit unusual for me – alternative music. I heard a song the other day that …

2007-2008 TV Season Wrap-Up Part 1
OK, so the 07-08 season is beginning to come to a close. The time frame for the end of the season is pretty vague this year, thanks to the big chunk of time eaten from most shows by the writers strike. I’m going to do …

Ponderings For 2008-06-16
RIP: Stan Winston. This one comes as a huge loss to the movie industry. Winston was a modern legend when it came to creature effects and animation, and later in all realms of visual effects. From his days with Jim Cameron working on Terminators and …

The Fall (10/10)
One of the best films of the year is one you haven’t even heard of. It’s also a very hard movie to try to explain to someone when recommending it (which I do, to anyone, without reservation). It’s actually kinda sad that a movie like …

The Incredible Hulk (5/10)
A movie full of sound and fury; signifying nothing. I’m gonna be one of the unpopular people who likes Ang Lee’s Hulk much more than this paint-by-numbers superhero action movie. This film gets a sideways thumb. Writing: Perhaps this movie can be saved by the …
