Star Wars in the Real World
What do you get when you take real photography and add elements from Star Wars to it? Well, you get that badass looking AT-AT shot for one. I’m not much of a fan of doctoring your photography, but some of these shots came out quite nicely.

Stella’s Day Could Also be “If Yoda Were a Better Dog”
Here’s a touching video about a well behaved little dog named Stella, beautifully shot with a Canon 5D MkII. I find this video particularly interesting because the titular dog, Stella, looks exactly like Jason’s dog, Yoda. I guess looks can be deceiving.
In all fairness to Yoda, he’s a great dog, and he does act this [...]
Iron Man 2 Trailer
So now that the Iron Man 2 trailer is out there and (in my opinion) kicking some ass, I thought I’d post the Iron Man 2 Teaser Poster that came out a few weeks ago. I know, I’m way behind with this, but you’ll forget all about it when I post the trailer in a [...]
Warner’s DVD2Blu Trade-in Program
While I appreciated Warner’s Red2Blu trade-in program (send them the sleeves to your old HD-DVDs, you keep the movie, and for $5 they send you a Blu-ray), their new DVD2Blu program just doesn’t seem like as good of a deal. First of all, they charge $7.95-$9.95 for your replacement and secondly, you have to send [...]
Netflix Not a “NEW” DVD Rental Company…
I’ve been a Netflix user almost from the very start. My account is about six or seven years old now (with some brief pauses in service) and I’m here to tell you that I’m about done with it all.
For some time, it’s been my understanding with Netflix that if I want to get a new relase movie on DVD or Blu-Ray, I need to strategically send the current disc I have back to the warehouse to coincide with the date of the new release. Usually if I send the movie in on a Saturday, they’ll get it by Monday and send me the new movie that is scheduled to release the next day on Tuesday. However, for well over 2 months now I have habitually been sending old, unwatched titles they’ve sent me back on these days (just like I always used to) only to get a movie that was number 5 or 6 down on my Que instead of the new release I wanted.
“Funny People” Movie Review
In “Funny People”, popular director Judd Apatow begins his movie by reminding us just how truly hysterical and inspired Sandler once was. Using old home video he shot when he and Sandler were roommates years ago, we are treated to the “old school” Sandler who used to make people laugh so hard they would get the hiccups. Unfortunately, this is the high point of the movie.
“Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” Movie Review
As a dedicated fan of both this movie franchise and the books they are based on, I must admit that watching Harry go to school, interact with the same people and do homework again has become a bit blasé. With the material that the filmmakers had to work with and the rare foreknowledge of how this tale will end (given that the final book has been out for a few years now), I really think they dropped the ball here. They do stray a few times from the original source material, but the results are a mixed bag. Key scenes that were written in the book to explain Voldemort’s origins and set up the finale were curiously omitted while original scenes that really did nothing to further the plot along were added in. In fact, a couple of the new things that this movie added in are contradictory to what will have to happen in the next movie!
“Bruno” Movie Review (a bit late, I know…)
This movie does have it’s funny moments to be sure, but after a while they become a little repetitive and predictable. The plot really slows to a near halt in the last 20 minutes and from there you’re just waiting for it to be over.
Sacha Baron Cohen has proven himself to be a virtual wunderkind when it comes to comedy. This movie felt flat, rushed and undeserving of his talent. Here’s hoping that he learned enough from this film to make a more deserving follow up.
You’re Doing it Right
Dressing up for Comic Con is no simple task. Most get it very, very wrong. Here’s one guy who got it very right (if you don’t like this one, here’s a different one that might get you going).
