Look, let’s just get right to it. If the movie is nearly as good as this trailer makes it out to be, it’s going to be awesome… I was let down a bit by the last entry in the series, but this one (well, these two, technically) looks like it’s gonna deliver. There’s gotta be an epic battle at the school… look at all the dead (I assume) bodies scattered around Voldemort and Harry . . . → Read More: Deathly Hallows trailer released New season, new Doctor, new show runner, new companions… lots of change this year. How’d it turn out? (as with the reviews of previous years, I’m going to try to keep this spoiler free) First, a bit of history… 2009 saw the end of David Tennant’s incredibly popular run as the Doctor with a series of specials rather than a true season. Russell T Davies, the man who brought the show back in 2005, left . . . → Read More: Review: Doctor Who 2010 Look at that fifth set!! Holy cow… this is just insane… What kind of a monster athlete do you have to be to play a single set of tennis for 491 minutes?! That’s over 8 hours of play in just one set… almost 3 times longer than the other 4 sets combined! The whole match was played over a series of 3 days at Wimbledon. 70-68?! Seriously? Looks like I picked the wrong year . . . → Read More: Longest tennis match in Grand Slam history! After a troubled history with Disney, 20th Century Fox has picked up the Narnia series and is moving forward. This December we’ll be treated to the next installment in the series, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. The first trailer has just been released… Chronicles Of Narnia 3 It looks good to me, but I don’t remember many of the details of this story. My favorite was always the first book in the series, . . . → Read More: Back to Narnia with a new trailer, and a 2010 movie update My daughters and I are enjoying my new Hadrian’s Walk Buff. They love the balaclava mode. I’m partial to the pirate configuration, myself. Unfortunately an eye patch is not included, but even so I think it makes me measurably cooler to be around. My wife, however, falls into fits of barely controlled chuckling whenever she sees me in it. Something is going to have to give. I leave it to you, the good people of the internet, . . . → Read More: Buff/Not So Buff Gone are the heady, playful days of American Ninja, and Ninja III: The Domination. These days, Ninja movies are more serious business, focusing on the real historical Ninjas, like the ones who saved Norway in 1984… Norwegian Ninja is the true story of how Commander Arne Treholt and his Ninja Force saved Norway during the Cold War. The story takes place in the time right before Treholt’s arrest on espionage charges in 1984, and reveals . . . → Read More: Ninjas in history My second guest shot on the Midnight Movie Club was posted this week, reviewing the film “Return To Me” (with a stellar cast led by David Duchovny and Minnie Driver – in the movie, not the podcast). If the stats are accurate, many of you missed this film when it came out in 2000 (though the odds are apparently better if you were in an airplane around then). That’s a shame because it’s a great . . . → Read More: Return to MidMo and other short subjects Back in January, there was a major disaster in the world. Perhaps you heard about it? There was lots of media coverage. This isn’t a trick question. I’m talking about the earthquake in Haiti. Lots of attention was paid to the disaster, and lots of money was paid to charities and other support groups trying to help. And that’s great. People were helping other people, as they should. In February, I was talking to a . . . → Read More: Walking the talk Today we’re having an installation of “What to do, What not to do” for percussionists. What to do Back in college I had the privilege of seeing a percussion group called Nexus perform. It was one of two moments in those years that I just had this goofy grin stuck on my face because the awesomeness just blew me away (the other was when the drummer from the Navy Jazz Band did his drum solo… . . . → Read More: Percussionists: Object lesson for today Earlier this year I had the windows in my house replaced. This cost more money than I had on hand, so I took the loan offered through the company who sold me the windows. Aside from an 11% interest rate, there were terms that would give me time to get a better loan at a lower rate, at which point I was going to pay off the original loan. So, life happened and time went . . . → Read More: Saving money thru the power of cluelessness |
