  Star Trek — Can’t wait!

  02.06.09 | Permalink | Comment?

  Although I think Hollywood is dying a slow, painful (and well deserved) death, I love seeing all these modernized versions of older movies coming out, i.e., James Bond, Batman, and now Star Trek. Coincidentally, my daughter (11) has been showing more and more interest in the Star Trek franchise. She’s even been watching all the [...]

  Finally, something worth watching on Joost. Check it out. I should probably tell you that I haven’t logged into Joost in quite some time, so this might be old news, but it’s great news nonetheless. Now all they need to add is Thundercats, Mask, TMNT, Silverhawks, Star Blazers, G.I. Joe, and Voltron — and I’ll [...]

  The top five greatest women in sci-fi

  If I had more space, the title would have read, “The top five greatest female characters in a live action science fiction movie and / or television series.” But that’s just obnoxious. — Okay, here we go…

  Seven of Nine
  “We are the Borg.” - My personal favorite. She is also what prompted me to create this [...]

  It’s time to geek out a bit! I have compiled the following list which represents the 5 greatest sci-fi ships of all time. A bold endeavor I know, but I’m up to the task. Here they are in no particular order.

  Millenium Falcon

  Let’s get the obvious out of the way first. If you’re a geek, the [...]

  Google, the new Napster

  I saw this little trick on Digg this morning. It actually sorta, kinda works.
  Cut and paste the following text into Google:
  {-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(wma|mp3) “DIGG”}
  Replace the word “DIGG” with the name of your favorite band and voila, a listing of open indexes containing downloadable music files. Of course [...]

  With Amazon’s Unbox service, you can purchase (or rent) movies and TV shows online and have them downloaded directly to your computer. Services like this will be the final blow to companies like Netflix and Blockbuster, not to mention the last surviving video store chains hanging on by a thread. These types of companies will [...]

  Superman Returns: 9 out of 10

  06.29.06 | Permalink | Comment?

  I just walked into my house after spending the last two and a half hours watching Superman Returns, and I still have goose bumps. A couple of weeks ago I went to see X-Man 3 assuming it was going to be the be-all, end-all of super hero movies. It wasn’t, not even close. Tonight [...]

  99 most desirable women of 2006

  06.22.06 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  Askmen.com released their list of the top 99 most desirable women of 2006. These ladies were hand picked by the askmen.com staff and readers. It’s actually a very interesting, and occasionally surprising, list. What’s nice about it too, is that you get to see where a particular actress/model ranked last year compared to this [...]

  I love Cars: 9.5 out of 10

  06.11.06 | Permalink | Comment?

  I saw Cars last night with my daughter, and I’d have to say, I think it may be my favorite Pixar film yet. That’s not an easy statement to make, considering Pixar’s arsenal of top notch movies (Toy Story 1 & 2, A Bugs Life, Monster’s Inc., The Incredibles, Finding Nemo). I also suspect that [...]
