Work has been... a bit... of a nightmare lately. It's just so damn BUSY all the time, and some managerial decisions have left my department in a very compromised situation, resulting in the lot of us seasoned full-timers having to really knuckle down and grind through far more work then we are used to. Needless to say, I've been coming home from ( Read more... )

Tuesday night is movie night!

My choices this week came down to either the remake of Straw Dogs or the movie I ended up seeing. I remember my father showing me the original Straw Dogs back when I was way too young to fully understand how thematically dark that movie really was. Nevertheless, I remember it well enough to know that the remake looks ( Read more... )

Pickings were pretty slim for this week's movie. It came down to either Columbiana or a horror movie, just like last week. (And you'd think Zoe Saldana kicking Jason-Statham-levels of ass in skintight black outfits would stand a better chance. Guess not!)

I'm gonna be at Canada's Wonderland this coming Friday for a glorious day off.

Not really scary, but VERY refreshing to see a modernized vampire movie with old-school vampire rules!

This week, I sampled some ( Read more... )

Those of you who read my review on PA2 all those months ago may assume that I've gotten off of this particular train of cashing in off of a single horror movie's success with a string of crappy sequels, but honestly: I WANT to see this movie.

Thing is, I'm more then aware that this ( Read more... )

I was so incredibly pissed/frustrated/depressed after my shift at work today that I couldn't NOT head to the theater to cool off. Luckily, the show I caught was about the best conduit for that kind of mood I could have asked for:

It's rather heartening when my not-at-all-professional hobby that I mainly do for kicks ends up affording me unexpected gratuities. For example, I spent nearly five total hours last weekend and another four total hours this weekend grinding away at some frame by frame animation for a nifty little action scene Dr. Holocaust and I have been working ( Read more... )
