International Thriller, More HP, And Straight To Video [Movies]

Holly and the girls have been in Oklahoma all week, leaving Speed and me to fend for ourselves. Fending apparently means watching movies. None of them all that great. First off, we saw The International, a thriller that shows promise … Continue reading

Hunting Down Criminals, Killing Them, And A Cool Car [Movies]

Iron Comics, Getting Made, And Homegrown Gangsters [Movies]

Codes, War Crimes, Banana Humor [Movies]

For whatever reason, I’ve gone on a movie kick lately. Part of the reason is I’ve got my AppleTV set up to work okay. I’m still not happy with the configuration. Anyway, so I finally watched The Da Vinci Code … Continue reading
