The Incredible Hulk
Pretend for a moment that Ang Lee’s oft-hated HULK never happened, this is a great way to revive a franchise. Full of humor, nods to past Hulk comics and TV series and packing a lot of “hulk SMASH” action. It doesn’t quite reach greatness, but it’s a damn fun movie that continues to build the Marvel universe. 3 Radmachers

Steve Carell is great, as usual, in this 60’s TV series remake that can’t decide whether to be a high action superspy thriller or a comedy. Both parts do work well tho, and it is definitely breezy fun. 2.5 Radmachers

Pixar continues to prove that they don’t make cartoon movies for kids, but great films that just happen to be animated. The love story between two robots in the future is touching, hilarious and the best Pixar film yet. It is not just a great animated movie, but a fantastic science fiction story with post-apocalyptic and ecological undertones. 4 Radmachers

Thanks to Pat for correcting my spelling of Radmachers name. So here is his drunken snuffed up quote for the site: “Hay hjays!! I love reading hjays, that Iron Man review was great, but you gotta spell Radmacher’s name right it is not Rad-E-macher!! Where did that snuff girl go??”
OK so I listen to a lot of tech Pod Casts, but I finally found a comedy Pod Cast that I can enjoy. Wait, can this even be called comedy? Is it even funny? Remind me why I listen to it again? Well you can check it out for yourself and get back to me.
Holy fuck!!! This is a great person I really don’t give a shit who they are. It only took one quick look at their photostream and BAM!!! You can be my contact too.
Yesterday I was happy to make it out to the Science Museum to check out the Star Wars - Where Science Meets Imagination Exhibit. I was also very happy that they let me take pictures. The Omnitheater Special Effects presentation wasn’t really worth the money. I couldn’t help but feel that it was just a re-cut of a bunch of Star Wars / Special Effects documentaries that I had already seen. The exibit was well worth it though. Of course it made me want to re-watch all of the movies. Guess I won’t get as much done today as I wanted.
OK so I did promise AFB that I would tone down my software/tech postings because “no body wants to read that shit”. Well today I am going to make an exception because I think everyone should take part in Download Day. So spread the word and make sure you download your copy of Firefox 3 today.
Here are the first pics holy fuck i am one fat bastard!! Things got off to a very drunk start and as you can see we grilled a whole shit load of mea!! Cell phone receptions is minimal here at best. The weather is holding up and I am about to take the walk down to were the WiFi signal is an post this.
There is so much more, but I gotta run now because J3 is alone with my mother and that could get me into even more trouble than I am already in.
OK ya this post is late as hell, sorry. I just need to get it out of my drafts folder before I start the Family Vay Cay posts. It is a crime that everyone involved with this comp has not seen the Lady Fuj’s rockin’ guitar hero style moves.
Well the first official Couples Competition is over and you can view 1/3 of the pics here.
It’s been 19 years since the last Indy movie, but Harrison Ford slips right back into costume like he never left. Taking place in 1957 during the height of the Cold War, Indiana Jones is in a race to find the Crystal Skull before the Russians do. Indiana is joined by Ray Winstone (Beowulf) as Mac, an old friend; Shia LaBeouf is Mutt Williams, a Jimmy Dean wannabe; and old flame Marion Ravenwood, played by Karen Allen (who has aged very well). Chasing Indy and his gang is Cate Blanchett as Irina Spalko, a Ruskie villain.
I went to the midnight screening with all the die hard fans, and we were not disappointed. This is an old school Indy movie that doesn’t try to be revolutionary or change up what worked in the past. It’s starts of with a bang, with one over-the-top action sequence after another, all done with snappy one-liners, supernatural events, and composer John Williams familiar (but still stirring) score. If I were to compare this to the older films, I liked it a lot more then Temple of Doom; but not quite as much as Raiders or Last Crusade. The movie wanders a little bit in the middle, and
some of the plot twists you will see coming from a mile away. Nonetheless, this is fine popcorn entertainment and well worth your time. Good too see you back Dr. Jones!
