"Useless" facts
Posted : 1 year, 6 months ago on 15 May 2007 07:59
(A review of Useless Knowledge)As pointed out in my little profile thingy, I do love my useless facts and information. This book is separated into different sections of random knowledge, history, food, animals and the like. I would give it a little more pointage, but I have found that some of the "facts" are wrong... But that's okay, it makes you learn either way!  0 comments, Reply to this entry
Doin' things a spider can

(A review of Spider-Man 3)Don't worry, I'm not going to stick spoilers in my review while neglecting to say there are spoilers in my title (*hint, hint*) I do enjoy the Spidey series quite a bit, and Sam Raimi, and the random Bruce Campbell cameos. But I digress. I thought it was a really good time, action packed, nice tie-ins with Venom, blah, blah. To be honest, I've never been all that excited about Kirsten as MJ (I think Alicia Witt or Lauren Ambrose would have been good, Laura Prepon, while a redhead, would have made this movie awkward with Topher, would have been like some weird parallel universe thingy). Unfortunately, there was just something missing that the first 2 movies had, not sure what it is, but that's why I gave it a 9/10. To be sure, I like just about everything I watch, I don't pick things apart. I go to get lost in the movie and have a good time in its little fantasy world, and I did that with the movie, so c'mon, go and have an action packed adventure! 0 comments, Reply to this entry

(A review of Samurai Jack)Stylish, cool show that I think suffered from being too artsy to keep young kids attention. It had a dark and different color palette, not the usual bright and obnoxious type, interesting music, and a hero that was derived from honor. I'll admit I didn't catch too many episodes, but of the few I did, it made me want to watch more of them, and I still wonder if he ever made it back to his time to defeat Aku and prevent that future from happening... 0 comments, Reply to this entry

(A review of Johnny Bravo)Sorry, of the episodes I watched, the show was just kinda boring, not enough going on to keep my interest. The show didn't have enough to it to avoid repeating itself (sometimes ya just gotta take risks!) and I feel that they played it too safe. Oh well. P.S. I heard a rumor that The Rock is playing him in a live action version, that was a while ago though. Hm, that would be really lame. 0 comments, Reply to this entry

(A review of Futurama)It's probably a good thing that it only lasted a few seasons, things would have gotten really stale (some would say that it did in its short life). Below-average guy, frozen, thawed in the year 3000 and has wacky adventures with his friends. Wait, you all know this, you've watched it. Anyhoo, there are things on this show that I hope they have in the future, and the satire of what's to come, I'd say it's kinda accurate. Yes, it's in the vein of The Simpson's, but this show can be a little more bizarre and random, and I like that. 0 comments, Reply to this entry

(A review of Codename: Kids Next Door)Alright, I think this show is cool. Indeed, imho. A show about being a covert kid group that fights the powers of getting older and losing their kid-ness with really neat gadgets, vehicles and the like. Lots of parody in here of various movies and shows, I think it hits upon every kid wanting to be in a secret society and never wanting to grow up and entering the unknown. Fun, very silly, and lots of action, a good combo for my tastes. 0 comments, Reply to this entry

(A review of The Music Man)In my defense, I did see this as a stage production before the movie version. But now I'm so used to this one, I try to watch it here and there. Robert Preston is The Music Man, the traveling, swindling salesman, who "gets his foot caught in the door", and can't rip off an off-beat town after getting attached to the people. Great music and characters and Mrs. Partridge (Shirley Jones) as Marion the Librarian. One of my fav movies, having been a band geek and all. 1 comments, Reply to this entry

(A review of Starship Troopers)Okay, I saw this in the theater with a few friends and we certainly didn't expect to get much out of it. But, when we realized how graphic and violent, over the top and ridiculous it was, we had a good time. Yes, it is kinda stupid at times, but if you don't expect much in terms of scintillating dialog, just stay for the parts where they blow up the bugs and stuff. You don't have to think much while watching this one. 0 comments, Reply to this entry

(A review of The Fairly OddParents)This is my second favorite Nick show. Yes, I indeed watch many cartoons, I was planning to be an animator type guy in my younger days. This show I lump in with SB and the like, sure it's a "kid" show, but there's plenty for a slightly older crowd. Many of the non sequitur and pop culture/ movie references will go right by kids, that's why it's funny. It's gotten better as the years have gone by, they seem to have gotten their patter down. I think people miss out when they don't try out a cartoon show, try a few episodes, you may get a laugh. If not, well, fine. 0 comments, Reply to this entry

(A review of Mystery Science Theater 3000)The first time I saw this show I had no idea what it was, but proceeded to laugh through most of the show. These guys did what we all do when we watch a bad movie, make fun of it and put in our own dialog. They came out with some clever stuff, the first few seasons were the best though imho. Good stuff, they could make some more episodes with recent stinkers in the box office. 0 comments, Reply to this entry
