AUGH! This is annoying.
“Stargate” movies delayed
The direct-to-home-theater “Stargate” movies are coming–but it’s going to take a bit longer than expected.
20th Century Fox told Gateworld that the first movie, “Stargate: The Ark of Truth” has been pushed back until early 2008 and that the next film “Stargate: Continuum” will also be delayed. Tentative release dates are now March and October of next year, respectively.

By Jeff, on June 27th, 2007 The coolest thing about The Illusionist is that every trick he does is something that can be performed practically. The movie does use a little CGI because of production constraints and for a little extra ‘oomph,’ but each trick is firmly based in reality (as stated in the commentary), which is even more amazing when you see the tricks performed.
That’s not a knock on the story, by the way. It’s a very good, engaging, . . . → Read More: Review: The Illusionist

I love this. Great Microsoft parody.

By Jeff, on June 26th, 2007 A little girl is brutally murdered on the day of Jack Nicholson’s retirement. The cops pin it on someone convenient, but Jack doesn’t buy it. He’s made a promise to the girl’s mother that he will find the killer. To him, that promise is binding. And thus begins his descent from respected cop to obsessed crazy person.
This movie was made extremely well, and it would probably be a great study in a film class. . . . → Read More: Review: The Pledge
By Jeff, on June 22nd, 2007 The Fantastic Four is all about teamwork and family, when you boil it down. Or at least it should be. Both the original movie and the current sequel, unfortunately, can’t seem to get that right. In the first movie, it was an extremely important part of the story so when it was done poorly it sank the movie. In Rise of the Silver Surfer, they are supposed to be good at working as a team . . . → Read More: Review: Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
By Jeff, on June 19th, 2007 In my last post, I mentioned a definition of e-Learning I wrote a few years ago. For the record, this is what I said:
How do you define e-learning? What are some examples?
My definition would be: Learning opportunities in which the learner/instructor interaction is facilitated through technology.
I would divide it into three catagories:
Self-paced Synchronous Asynchronous
Self-paced courses are probably the first ones that come to mind for most people. These could include . . . → Read More: Defining e-Learning

Michael Allen is a very smart guy, and a leader in the world of e-learning. He knows the world of training and has spent a lot of time telling us how to use technology well to create successful knowledge transfer and the ever-elusive behavior change. I respect his opinions greatly.
That said, while he is making valid points in his article, he seems to focus on podcasts as stand-alone training, for the . . . → Read More: Michael Allen’s Podcast Challenge
By Jeff, on June 13th, 2007 Hey, guess what… this review will be completely devoid of jokes about having seen this movie before. Just wanted to get that off my chest.
Off the top of my head I can’t think of any movie I’ve seen Denzel Washington in that I didn’t like. This movie is no exception. It’s got it all—Sci-fi, Sci-fact, love story, action, and even a couple funny moments. And for a movie that has the potential to involve . . . → Read More: Review: Deja Vu
By Jeff, on June 12th, 2007 Okay, after my last post I got sucked into the world of lightsabers on YouTube and ran across these two series:
Three in the Afternoon (and the upcoming sequel, Six in the Morning) is a funny take on what you might really do if someone dropped off some real lightsabers on your doorstep.
Ryan vs. Dorkman (and RVD2) is full-on action. Not a word of dialogue and none is needed. The original was an entry . . . → Read More: More Jedi Fighting
By Jeff, on June 11th, 2007 Wizard Entertainment
The “New York Jedi” are making a stop at the “Wizard World” convention in Philadelphia this coming weekend. They’ll even train people on sword choreography! Sounds like a fun time. That’s almost enough to get me to drive out there and get my geek on.
