War Games 25 Years Later

On July 29th, MGM will release a 25th Anniversary edition of War Games. This movie was an icon to geeks the world over. We longed to find an open line with our war dialers. Finding some unprotected computer system and taking a look around was the ultimate prize. By the way, a war dialer was a program that automatically dialed numbers and checked for...

A movie that I have been excited to see opens today. The Bourne Ultimatum, the 3rd and final chapter in the series, opens in theaters across the US today. I'm a huge fan of the trilogy, both the books and the movies. I realize the books and the movies are considerably different, but for some reason I don't mind it.

Catch 22 Worst LOST Episode ever!

I'll say it. Many of you are thinking it. The April 18th, 2007 episode of LOST, Catch 22, was the worst episode I've watched. It was pointless, meaningless, had no substance, had no value, didn't move the story along, introduced a new character (I thought we were past that) and just didn't capture my attention. It was boring. And I hated i...

See The Bourne Ultimatum trailer

I'm excited to see a trailer for the 3rd and final installment of the series, The Bourne Ultimatum. Can't wait for August 3rd, 200...

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

As is tradition with my family, we attended a movie, and for the past few years it has been a Harry Potty movie, and this year was the Goblet of Fire. Why, I'm not sure. I haven't read all the books, I'm in book 3, last few chapters. But my kids love it and they have read all the books. I know when I've read a book prior to the movie I have a certain level of expectation from the movie and I'm usually disappointed. Since I haven't read the Goblet of Fire yet, but I expected to see the same thing as the others. But it wasn't.You...
