Helvetica (Blu-ray) Review

I recently had the pleasure to watch the movie Helvetica in Blu-ray. The movie is a documentary on the life, history, use, and opinions surrounding the font of the same name.
I’m a font snob, so I loved it. If you can tell the difference between Arial and Helvetica, if you hold strong opinions […]

Reign is Raining Talent

 
 
We all remember where we were on 9/11.  We remember what we were doing, where we were going, and especially how we felt watch our nation under attack.  However, there are so many that remember that day for other reasons.  That was the day that they lost their husbands, wives, children, sisters, brothers, and best […]

The Golden Compass Is Great But Not Quite Golden

 
 
Yes everyone is so excited for Nicole Kidman right now with the birth of her baby girl so as a fun tribute I decided to rent “Golden Compass”.  I’m not really sure what I was expecting but I am pretty sure that I didn’t get it.
 
If you’re not familiar; the basic premise is that there […]

Digital audio buying tips

I am currently in the market to buy a new home audio system, which presents a few problems for me.
In the past, I’ve been of the opinion that your audio equipment should be completely separate from your video equipment: the additional splitters used in the all-in-one home theater systems could cause noise and signal delay […]

Do You Know Juno?

 
Okay so I am like to only person on the planet that just saw “Juno”.  I know I am so behind the times but there you have it and I will say that after seeing it I am missing some of the hype.  Yes it was good and yes I enjoyed it, but it was […]

The Other Boleyn Girl is Anything But Ordinary

 
Most people who took European history in either high school or college should somewhat remember the story of Anne Boleyn and the Queen of England but I don’t think anyone past the professor knew much more about her or her family.  Yet “The Other Boleyn Girl” takes you into not just the life of Anne […]

Shoot ‘Em Up (Blu-ray)

You know what I hate? A movie that doesn’t know it’s place in the scheme of things. A movie that tries to be the perfect movie for everyone.
I ventured into another very male-centric movie today: Shoot ‘Em Up on Blu-ray. And this movie understands exactly what kind of movie it is: this […]

Untraceable is Worth Tracking Down

 
Like most of us I spend way too much time on the internet.  Between internet communities, gambling and games, and videos you could conceivable spend an entire day on the computer.  But I would like to think that if most of us got an invitation to a website called “killwithme.com” we would stay away.  Yet […]

The Pirates Are Back and This Time They’re Really Good

 
Okay I know that I am going to piss off a few people when I say that I wasn’t a big fan of the first two “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies.  There I said it and I hope those that did love them can forgive me and read on.  Yes, I know most people think […]

PS3 Streaming Video: Mediatomb

Many of us HD junkies no doubt own a PlayStation 3 already: it’s one of the cheapest and best Blu-ray players on the market.
What many of us don’t know or fail to forget is that the PS3 also can play streaming content (video, audio, and pictures) from any Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) server on […]
