Enjoy, not that I actually have to tell you that.
Kung Fu Panda versus Wall-E
Two excellent CGI movies have come out this summer, both from completely different computer animation studios. Kung Fu Panda. From Dreamworks Animation, the studio that brought us Shrek (all three of them), Shark Tale, Madagascar, Over the Hedge, and the Bee Movie. Mostly “meh” movies, some good, some not. Kung Fu Panda featured the voices […]
Fun online tools: blippr mini-reviews
So, I’ve been hooked on blippr lately. What is it? It’s a simple site where you can leave and peruse reviews for movies, video games, and books.

4th of July: food, family, giant robots programmed for war
The fourth of July was pretty much the same as it always is in our sleepy little town. We headed over to our family “compound” and watched the parade in the morning. We call it the “compound” because my aunt (mother’s sister) moved to town a few years ago into the house right next to […]
TMNT: 27% on RottenTomatoes.com

Thank GOD someone is saying it. Too bad it’s someone that no one in Hollywood […]
You know a movie is good…
…when almost the entire Evil Avatar community is in agreement.

40 things you didn’t know about Superman
Link: Movies.go.com 2. He couldn’t fly, either. Right. Though he did possess super-strong legs that allowed him to “leap tall buildings in a single bound.” His ability to fly was added in the early 1940s. This is something most people never realized. It’s evident if you’ve ever watched the old Superman cartoons from the 40s […]
It’s Superman Week!
In honor of the highly-anticipated Superman Returns movie official public release on this coming Wednesday, I've changed things up here a bit. I added a Superman-themed banner and the RSS feeds down on the bottom-right are from Google News and a highlight of WordPress posts tagged Superman. I'll be posting various Superman-related bits of news […]
