Wanted

sboss — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 03:57:08 +0000

Wanted was a good action flick if you turned your brain off at the door. Bullets not flying straight? yeah right!

The action and the special effects were great in the movie. Like the Matrix, great? nope but still good. Plot and storyline was kinda thin. But I dont think anyone went to that movie to see plot/storyline. If you have a HDtv or some sort of Bigscreen, wait for the DVD.

Harold and Kumar escape

Or did they escape?

Harold and Kumar movie was pretty campy. But it was what we expected. It was just a clone of the first. I did enjoy it but was it worth the $10? probably not. But I enjoyed the time at the movies this weekend. I do think the funniest part of the movie was when they were getting high with “W“.

Iron Man

Ok I have been really really slow at going to see this movie. With all the hype and all I should have been there much earlier.

But with work and all I just havent had the time to get to see it. Boy I was wrong. I should have gone to see it sooner. It was a great flick. It was a superhero/comic movie without being campy. I liked the plotline, the characters and I never once said “what the hell??“. Iron Man is probably the best comic/superhero based movie I have seen in a very long time. I think it was done better than the spiderman movies.

Street Kings

A movie with Keanu Reeves is never high on my list. He is rarely a good actor. Steet Kings is a different story.

I liked the movie. I really liked it. Is it in my top 10? nope but it was still good. KR did a good job. Along with several other big stars. Well worth the $10 for the movie.

Serenity part II?

sboss — Sat, 06 Oct 2007 17:50:54 +0000

There is a rumor about a second Serenity movie. Say it isnt so! It would too fucking great if they did!

Alan Tudyk (aka Wash) is the one that is quoted about the second movie. It is strange that someone that was knocked out of the first movie is excited about the second. He is dead! like can not come back dead. Now will the movie be direct to DVD or to the theaters? I hope the later but I am skeptical.

RIAA won their first case.. this sucks!

sboss — Sat, 06 Oct 2007 17:50:34 +0000

the RIAA won their first case for fileshare… what crap!

There is a ton of articles out there discussing this case. This one discusses why the RIAA won. This one discusses the case. This one discusses it from a more technical side. This one talks about the defendants attack on the RIAA. This one talks about how the judge bars the president from testifying. And here is abc’s response/article.

EDIT: added’ abc’s article.

Kevin Smith rocks!

sboss — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 12:56:51 +0000

Kevin Smith was doing a Q&A session at ComicCon and someone was an idiot.

And no it wasnt Kevin Smith. Some idiot walks up to the mike and asks a dumb-ass question especially where he was and whom he was speaking to. Kevin Smith it great at the Q&A sessions since he thinks very quickly on his feet and has a great sense of humor and will not only reply to your comments but destroy you in the process. You have to see the article to see the video (no direct links to the video, sorry!)

Harry Potter is dead…

sboss — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 12:12:49 +0000

If you read this shirt that I found on this article you know how the series ends for Harry Potter.

Harry dies then comes back to marry a fellow mage (witch?). Blah blah blah. I wished he stayed dead in the book so there is no chance of another one. Yeah I do hate the series. I am one of the few. And no I have not read the book, just read the t-shirt that give me the details.
