Silverado is one of my favorite westerns. It’s fun, exciting, has a good story, and features at least seven of my favorite big name actors (Kevin Kline, Scott Glenn, Danny Glover, Kevin Costner, Brian Dennehy, John Cleese, and Jeff Goldblum). The bad guys are bad, and the good guys are good—even the ones who used to be bad guys. I even like the music. Kevin Costner plays one of the most fun, energetic roles I’ve . . . → Read More: Review: Silverado My friend and I first saw this movie in the mid-eighties on the recommendation of a video store clerk. That was probably the best tip we ever got from a video store clerk (and we got a lot of them… we had a lot of free time on our hands). Now, about 20 years later, much of the detail of the movie had faded from memory. I couldn’t remember more than a couple of scenes, . . . → Read More: Review: Sleuth SCI FI Wire | The News Service of the SCI FI Channel SCI FI Channel’s award-winning series Battlestar Galactica will move to a new timeslot starting Jan. 21, 2007: Sundays at 10 p.m. ET/PT, following the premiere of the new original series The Dresden Files at 9 p.m. When I first heard this, I thought it was a bonehead move. Suits moving things around for no good reason, and dismantling a good thing. After all, . . . → Read More: Battlestar Galactica moves to Sundays Here’s something to keep in mind… If you’re ever cooking a frozen dinner in the oven, don’t reach in and pull it out without oven mitts on. The plastic container gets hot, too. Not that I know anyone who’s done that lately. It just … uh… popped into my head. Yeah. That’s the ticket… [tags]stupidity, safety, Jon Lovitz[/tags] There were good and bad points to this [tag]movie[/tag]. First the good: the [tag]special effects[/tag] were really top-notch. Excellent work. And in the end, they were somewhat successful in getting me to empathize with Kong – so I give some credit to the directing, too. And the bad: everything else. Seriously, this was a really pretty movie. Great visuals. And like I said, I kinda was rooting for Kong despite knowing he buys it in . . . → Read More: Review: King Kong Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Last Outpost – TV Squad [tag]Wil Wheaton[/tag] has taken to doing reviews of old [tag]Star Trek: The Next Generation[/tag] episodes. He’s only done a few so far, all from the first season, but they are very funny. A ton of pop-culture references make it even more fun to read. While speaking as someone who played arguably the most hated hero character in sci-fi until [tag]Jar-Jar[/tag], he manages to skewer . . . → Read More: Wil Wheaton reviews the show that made everyone hate him Dove I’m probably way behind the times on pointing this out, but I just found this link and needed to post it. It’s a one-minute movie showing the [tag]transformation[/tag] of a model from pre-make-up to head-shot-on-a-billboard, and is the best example I’ve seen of displaying how distorted our view of [tag]beauty[/tag] (and reality) have become. The resemblance of the finished product (and I use that term purposefully) to the real woman is almost unrecognizable. It . . . → Read More: The disfiguration of beauty Wired News: Orson Scott Card Builds an Empire The above link is an interview with multi-award winning [tag]science-fiction[/tag] author [tag]Orson Scott Card[/tag] on plans for his Empire franchise. [tag]Empire[/tag] was conceived from the beginning as a multi-media endeavor, with the story told in different ways through a novel, comic books, film, and [tag]video games[/tag]. By the end of the interview, he has made some comments about video games and how he doesn’t play them anymore . . . → Read More: The Multi-media Empire of Orson Scott Card (or How To Save the Video Game Industry) Pennsylvania Gas Prices – Find Cheap Gas Prices in Pennsylvania Now this is a useful site (assuming you live in PA, anyway). Not only can you find the lowest (and highest) gas prices in your area, as reported by site visitors, you can also plot prices per location over time, map the locations, get a comparison with national averages, and see a “Gas Heat Map” of the US that maps relative prices across the country. . . . → Read More: Pennsylvania Gas Prices – Find Cheap Gas Prices in Pennsylvania Well, Blockbuster has been sucking me dry on this movie for a long time (it’s been sitting around my house for way too long). I finally got a chance to watch it. Inside Man is a good [tag]heist[/tag] flick. All the elements are there, in plain sight, for you to figure everything out. I consider it a personal failure that I didn’t come up with the actual escape plan before it was revealed. I’m usually . . . → Read More: Review: Inside Man |
