I’ve been travelling so much that I’ve had lots I wanted to post a note on, but never had a chance. So here’s what I can remember, in 10-second review format:
V for Vendetta: Surprisingly good. I thought it would suck based on the trailer, but I was totally, totally sucked in. Great political commentary. Decent […]
Well, I gave my first impressions of the 360 (which continues to just shine and shine to me, especially demos and the Arcade) earlier this month. Thought I’d spend some time with the first exclusive game I’d bought, Perfect Dark Zero.
Now, I loved Perfect Dark on the N64. I also loved GoldenEye. But Perfect Dark […]
Shannon and I went to see The Brothers Grimm together on Saturday. Neither of us was very impressed.
I went into the movie, having only seen the canned trailer.
In a lot of ways, the movie reminds me of when I saw Van Helsing. Van Helsing was really a tribute movie in a way: it took […]
Having now finished the upgrade to Wordpress 1.5, all I can say is Kudos to the wordpress team. Previously I was running version 1.2, which is 3 versions back. I hadn’t upgraded yet largely because there hadn’t been any reason to. 1.2 was working fine, everything was going nicely, no big deal.
Lately I’d gotten sick […]
Microsoft’s new “Google Maps killer” was released this morning: MSN Virtual Earth.
TDavid wrote a review while the site was up for performance testing which is quite good.
All in all, I’m going to try and cover some of the high points, some of the low points, and some of the reasons I believe this is a […]
My friend Jake and I went to see Fantastic Four this weekend.
Speaking of which, he’s opened up a new movie review blog. Very cool. Jake’s a great guy, has the oddest sense of humour in the world, and loves movies to boot. He’s still growing into this blogging thing, but I expect he’ll be commanding […]
This one’ll be short, since it’s such a simple review.
Best comedy of the year. Best Adam Sandler movie ever (I’m a big fan of Happy Gilmore and Water Boy myself).
Casting was great, there are so many great lines, so many great characters and even enough decent football to actually make it a sports movie. You […]
My second hotel stay this trip was at the Old Fort Garry hotel. The Fort Garry is Winnipeg’s oldest, glitziest and most expensive hotel. This hotel is Winnipeg’s equivalent to the Royal York or Ritz Carlton. My first impression was great. The bellboy and receptionist were fantastic, everything was very “classic”.
I wasn’t impressed that there […]
As I’ve started travelling more, I thought it might be useful for Google searchers to have a perspective on some of the hotels I’m staying in.
The first 2 of these are both “high class” hotels who should have scored stellarly, considering they were each 250-400$/night (I wasn’t paying).
The Hyatt Regency Vancouver isn’t the most glamorous […]
Okay, I admit it, I went to see Sin City yesterday. I wasn’t planning on it originally, but then I read some posts about how insanely close to the original comic book it was (doesn’t hurt that the comic book artist was a director on the movie).
I went in not knowing much about it, except […]
