Awesome. Involved, dark and light contrasting on many levels. Acting was fantastic. Effects phenominal. The flying Batmobile was extremely cool. Ann Hathaway was smoking hot as Catwoman. The geek factor was awsome. I've never seen a better blend of Geek with Goth, anywhere. Even Bane was pretty good. The main twist was well-hidden. 9/10.
It was also fun wearing my brand-new Dark Knight Rises t-shirt to the show.

Baliwood wonders will never cease. Two women and a man end up roommates. Lots of dancing and steamy-but-casual implied sex. Then his Mom comes on a surprise visit from India, (It's set in London mostly) and the REAL hilarity and drama begin. LOVE the music and dancing, lots of beautiful people, incredibly funny, but with a serious side. There's also a great part at the beach. No guns, no bombs, romance, and the best kiss-teaser yet. 9/10.

I love weekends.

Totally the best Spiderman movie by far. I wish they had led with this movie. The story is more true to the comics, the effects are better, the acting is better, it just rocks. They REALLY stepped up their game. 10/10.

An old Vaudeville theater sliced and diced into four smallish screens, old, but serviceable, with great prices, great popcorn, and all those movies that are hard to find in other theaters. Plus, they sell movie marquee posters cheap after the films are gone. A total treasure!

Safety Not Guaranteed: Romance, Spy Flick, Magazine Reporter Story, Time Travel/Sci-Fi, Teen Party Flick, Psycho-Thriller...this movie has everything but the kitchen sink, and on a low budget. The acting was incredibly good, especially from the primary leads. This movie is SOOOOOO GOOOOOD!! This is one of the best films I've seen this year, an absolute must-see, especially for the Geek crowd. 10/10, and I am not kidding at all.

Witness mildly crazy. There were a fair amount of hilarious moments, but less good music than usual. Tyler was less animated as Madea than usual. I liked it, but I didn't love it as I usually do. The "droning school teacher" was excellent as a fumbling executive, really did a great job. 5/10.
I'm left wondering if Tyler's heart was really in it this time.

I got this last night after watching the movie "People Like Us."
It says "Others look up to you."
I am six-feet, six-inches tall.

Heart-warming, lots of fun moments, some suspenseful ones, good acting, especially the female lead, yet also mostly predictable. If you want a feel-good flick, go. 6/10.

Steve Carell did a phenomenal job here, and Keira was in one of her better roles and actually lived up to it. They actually have a really nice simmering chemistry. There is an intense angst throughout, and the humor is used lightly enough not to render this idiotic. A love story, with a bittersweet edge, poignant, with some interesting and surprising twists. Definitely worth the time if you have a romantic heart. 8/10 in the genre.

One Bucket-Disk (invented by Yours Truly) set: (4) aluminum tent stakes @ $0.79 each, (2) Home Depot bucets @ $3.00 each, one Disk Golf fairway driver @ $10-21.00 depending on brand & style.
Set up buckets with openings facing each other 25 feet apart. Stake bucket handles so goals don't move.
Stand behind your bucket and toss at the other bucket. Teams take turns, 1 throw each. First 20 duckets wins. Disk must be more than halfway in the bucket to count a ducket.
Teams toss at one bucket to see who goes first. Closest to bicket OR most duckets goes first.
Lose two duckets for your team if you hit another player, or physically get in front of your bucket while the other team is throwing. (Off-sides rule; throwing team must declare a throw starting and do a 5-count to let other players clear the target bucket.)
Advanced rules: Get a 2nd disk. The off-turn team may attempt to throw a block at the throwing team's disk AFTER it has left the thrower's hand. Next person up on the off-turn team is also the blocking disk thrower. Lose a ducket for your team if you throw your block before the disk leaves the thrower's hand.
Let fly!

Cool. Very ugly, nasty vamps. Awesome Axe-Kwon-Do. Great camera work on the "vintage look". Best served with popcorn and true blood as close to midnight as possible. Lots of action, but a cool plot in a lot of ways as well. A bit "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon meets The Matrix meets Underworld meets National Treasure meets Wild, Wild West meets history buff nerdvana." 7/10.

After an HOUR of trying to find the charging voltage specs for my HTC Amaze on Google under numerous search terms, (WTF??!) Ifound that they were printed right on the back of the factory AC charger that came with my phone.
Set your solar phone charger to 5 VDC, and let there be light.
Now, I feel stupid for not lookingvthere first, but HTC and solar charger manufacturers should feel downright idioric for not having a universal list of phone charging power specs easily-found on internet search in this age of green power users on bicycles.
I love my Amaze, but it's a lot like a jet fighter: fast, agile, and capable, but really sucks the go-go juice. Now I can go all light-bright on it.

*Must See Flick* Things take some extremely interesting twisted turns in early-1800's medicine and psychiatry, with wonderfully-warm and glass-shattering results. This is one you don't want to miss, oh my!
Dan
Fun. Kinda Goth. She's still Bella-ish. Damn good cinematography & CGI. Great Celtic legend, interesting spin on the story. Go.
6.5/10.

Camp of Vamp, a goblet of crimson fun, with...fish?
Go for the fun, the music, the Alice Cooper cameo, but leave your cerebellum out of it, and you'll enjoy yourself. The gals are really pretty, and Johnny D threw himself all-in, too.
Tri-stellar.
Dan
Awesome flick. We both loved it! Soundtrack is really good, too. (Dark Shadows had a really great soundtrack too) I think this is the best yet. Really great Spiderman trailer in previews as well.
Enjoy!
Dan
