20 May 2008 @ 14:42Season Finale of House

Last night the second part of the Season 4 finale of “House” aired, and I have to say it was quite good. Most series will end the season with a hook that leaves you hanging until the next season, but this wasn’t the case with the season finale of “House”. It simply left the viewer [...]

20 May 2008 @ 11:058-core Mac Pro arrived

My refurbished 8-core 2.8GHz Mac Pro arrived a few days later than expected, but I’m typing this on it now. Everything is working well.

19 May 2008 @ 9:02John Adams

I’m interested in seeing the HBO Miniseries - John Adams, partly because Paul Giamatti plays the lead role of John Adams and partly because the effects look like they are really well done. John Adams also stars Laura Linney, David Morse, Rufus Sewell, Justin Theroux, and Sarah Polley. Buy John Adams on DVD: John Adams (HBO Miniseries) [...]

19 May 2008 @ 8:23The Forbidden Kingdom

I saw The Forbidden Kingdom last night. This is a very fun film starring both Jackie Chan and Jet Li. Let li plays both the Monkey King and the Silent Monk, while Jackie Chan plays Lu Yan (aka The Drunken Immortal) and Old Hop. If you are a fan of either of these actors, or [...]

I just watched this trailer for City of Ember, and I have to say it looks very good. The movie stars Tim Robbins and Bill Murray, so that in itself is promising.

16 May 2008 @ 15:55Short Circuit on Blu-ray

I must have watched Short Circuit a hundred times as a kid. I thought Number Five was so awesome. Plot summary: Number 5, one of a group of experimental military robots, undergoes a sudden transformation after being struck by lightning. He develops self-awareness, consciousness, and a fear of the reprogramming that awaits him back at the factory. [...]
