This October 30th, Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day will arrive in theaters. It has been 10 years since the first film was released. Troy Duffy is the mastermind behind both movies. If you don’t know his story, Troy started out as a bartender when his script for Boondock Saints was discovered. Harvey Weinstein bought [...]

I just caught the midnight showing of District 9. I never make the midnight show of a movie unless I am really geeked up about it, and this was a movie I was geeked up for. I think the last midnight show I caught was Phantom Menace. Like that movie, District 9 disappointed me greatly. [...]

Last time I wrote about comparing software with guns. I’ve decided on a simpler comparison. Software and hammers.
If you make software the unlocks DVDs, it is controversial and deemed illegal in some cases. What if you use a hammer to smash a lock to somebody’s tool shed, allowing you to steal all the tools and [...]

Guns are legal in many different forms depending on where you live. Guns can be used both in legal and illegal ways. If I choose to use a gun to go hunting, it’s considered legal. Obviously if I choose to shoot somebody with a gun, it is illegal. So I as a person would be [...]

Lately I have been using my Netflix account to rent some of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 shows that I never got to see. The 2 I rented sat on my coffee table for about 2 months before I bothered to watch one of them. Now I can’t get enough of them. I am realizing [...]

It’s not often that I get too excited about freeware. I usually download and install freeware programs only to find that they are clunky and are missing major features. For months I have been struggling to find something free that burns AVI files onto a DVD so that I can play them on a DVD [...]

In a down economy, BlueRay is struggling. Nobody is buying the players or the movies. There is another reason why nobody’s buying. You can simply download what you need now. I can watch whatever I want by downloading them in high definition to my PC or Tivo. My cable company also offers OnDemand.  If I [...]

I went and saw The Happening last night. It was my first trip to the movies in almost a year. I don’t make it to the movies much, since many of them suck. The Happening was no exception. Before the movie began, I sat there wondering where the movie was going to go. I was [...]

There is a moment when you’re in the DVD section of your favorite store and your brain thinks “Miss Congeniality 2 would be a good addition to my DVD collection.” It happens almost every time I go to buy movies. It’s a fact that 1 out of 3 DVDs purchased will never make it out [...]
