Personally, I always thought of shit as more nasty… until today that is. With blood, we fear blood borne pathogens (tons of them), and with shit… well, we’re just born to think shit is nasty and stinky. To be honest, shit is actually not as deadly as blood ~ I mean, there are […]

I can’t believe Idiocracy got such a high rating from IMDb.com ~ it’s just unreal! I know it’s a parody of today’s society and what some of us are turning out to be… but damn ~ this is a film with acting so bad, it makes Dracula 3000 looks good!
The story behind Idiocracy is […]

On the early Monday morning, as I was heading into the shower to get ready for work, a house centipede crawled out near the bathroom door. Intrigued by it, as I’ve never seen one before, I immediately grabbed the large Hot & Sour soup container and captured it. I really didn’t know what […]

Late yesterday, as I was heading down to the basement with my TabletPC in laundry basket ~ a sudden misstep caused a tilt and the tablet go flying down the stairwell, bouncing a couple times and slamming into table leg and wall before coming to a dead stop. Horrified, I raced back up the […]

Earlier today, I watched Dr. G work on a patient with periodontal disease. It was a rather simple procedure where the patient’s gumline have ah, risen interproximally and it’s up to Dr. G to go in and cut that extra meat out! So… yeah, that was it. Anyway, this is about bed […]

The premise behind Knocked Up is quite simple and from just the title, you know it has to do with accidental baby making that leads to hardship… lots of hardship. I saw this movie with Thuy the same day as PotC 3, and I have to say this is the better movie even though […]

I’ve something to say to directors out there, something very important: If I cannot understand dialogs between major players of the movie, I will not like the movie. I could not, for the life of me, understand anything that came out of the mouth of Tia Dalma (the witch lady who spouted nonsense […]

I was doing laundry when I started this movie ~ and as I was fetching my last load being dried, I met Erika and Cole in the basement also doing their laundry. Right before I went back up, Cole asked what movie I was watching and I said, The Descent and gave it a […]

Earlier today, as I was riding the subway home from work, a poster ad caught my attention — “$1000/month” in big bold print splashed across the page. It was an ad for sperm donation. Yup, if you’re eligible, you can be making $1000 per month just by whacking off into a cup! […]

Directed by Kurt Wimmer, Ultraviolet is another fray into 1 vs hundreds as depicted by his previous film, Equilibrium. However, unlike Equilibrium, Ultraviolet lacked Cleric John Preston and his batman-like badassness, lacked a good plot, and lacked super awesome gun-kata fighting sequences. Ultraviolet is like a piss-poor movie made to … do… SOMETHING… […]

The Covenant reminded me of The Skulls… and bunch of other teenage flicks geared toward audiences who love teenage sitcoms/dramas/primetime soap. I can never really understand why people get so… *emo* about almost nothing.
So The Covenant is about witches from when the American Colonies were first forming. As extension to the witch hunt, […]

As a very open movie watcher, I’m receptive to all genre, including chick flicks. The last girl empowerment movie that I saw was … I think Sisterhood of Traveling Pants (or was it 9 lives?), I don’t know… but traveling pants made some kind of impression on me. Anyway, The Devil Wears Prada […]

When people speak of gangster movies, Goodfellas naturally comes up alongside of great ones like Godfather. It really offers an unique perspective into how gangsters become the way they are with Henry Hill narrating the whole story starting when he was just a boy looking to be somebody.
Goodfellas began with when Henry being a […]
