Laiste 2 comments

Turtuga Blanku- Solar Powered Music This funky musician was brought to my attention courtesy of treehugger. The Caribbean artist records all his own music (which you can check out here) with solar power. There’s three tracks you can listen to in full on his website. The first track, Golden Bubble, is funky, catchy and rhythmic. I love this guys voice (not to mention his rath...

Man Drought

It’s official. There really is a man drought in Australia and there’s the statistics to prove it. Bernard Salt’s book Man Drought And Other Social Issues of the New Century is a great read. Especially considering that statistics are usually rather boring to read, but his social commentary is engaging, fun and easy it read. Plus I&...

Logitech diNovo Mini

As far as Media Centre input devices are concerned, Logitech's diNovo Mini is easily the best there is. I can conclude this after having used various input devices on our Vista Media Centre over the years. But despite its awesomeness, there is one glaring oversight, but more on that later. The diNovo mini as the name suggests is a mini keyboa...

Google Chrome

I have been browsing with Google Chrome for about a week now. I have tried to do all the things I usually do with Firefox, and I am not about to uninstall Google Chrome. I found things that worked well for me in Chrome and some that did not, the trick is to find out when to open which browser, or if you even need both. Firefox will remain my main b...

The X-Files: I Want to Believe

I wanted to believe this would be something special. But somehow deep down I knew the second (and probably last) movie for the X-Files franchise wasn't going to meet my expectations. I would like to say X-Files: I Want to Believe is at best on par with an average episode of the television show, but the reality is that the TV show was usually of ...

Disaster Movie

To judge this movie on it's writing would be unfair, because apparently there is no script. Well, nothing that resembled a script became evident at any point during this abomination. "Friedberg and Seltzer have unwittingly created a whole new genre of poor film making and un-funniness" So that only leaves one thing to judge Disaster...

Postal goes Bolls out

Postal goes Bolls out If you are easily offended then do not watch this movie. In other words I got a kick out of it. I think Uwe Boll made this film about the same time Team America World Police came out it would have been received better as it is the same kind of in your face offensive humor. My kind of humor. The story starts with with 2 terrorists that hijacked ...

Shine a Light

For fans of the Stones, Shine a Light will be one heck of a ride. For non-fans, it's still a good watch. Make no mistake though, despite what you have read or heard elsewhere this is more than just a concert documentary, but only marginally. The opening sees director Martin Scorsese doing his best to produce a concert outside his comfort zone w...

P.T. Anderson: There Will Be Blood and more.

P.T. Anderson: There Will Be Blood and more. No. 85 on IMDb’s all time top 250. Scoring a well deserved 8.4. After seeing Magnolia (#212), 1999, also written and Directed by P.T. Anderson, I knew I would have to bring myself up to speed on all his work. On to my “Must Watch” list went Punch-Drunk Love, Boogie Nights, Hard Eight ("Sidney" in Australia), T...

And now for something completely different

And now for something completely different If you recognize that phrase, be proud. Everyone should know Monty Python and the number of movies they have put out as well as what started it all, Monty Python's Flying Circus. I once saw a commercial on BBC America showing one of the more silly Python sketches with a caption that read. "If your girlfriend laughs a this, marry her.&quo...
