Movie Review: District 9

I’ve written a review for the Science Fiction film directed by Neill Blomkamp called District 9. Just what is District 9? You really have to watch the movie to find out. And boy, will it blow your mind. I thoroughly enjoyed this film, and I believe that you, too, should have the experience of watching it. You read my review posted over at my new website called “Movie...

Headset Broke = :(

Posted by on Sep 6, 2009 in Computer, Personal, Random | 0 comments

Well, I’ve been having trouble with my headset, the famous SteelSeries 5H v2, for awhile. It’s a great piece of equipment, mind you, but it broke about three months ago. I’ve kept soldering and gluing it back together (I really love this headset!). But it’s broke again (for the fourth time!) and I don’t have any soldering here at school. So I’ve got no means to fix it anymore… which means I’m without my favorite headset. I’ve considered buying a replacement for it. As I mentioned, it’s a fantastic headset. It featured superb sound...

sing for absolution…

Posted by on Aug 17, 2009 in Music, Personal, Random | 0 comments

“… i will be singing, falling from your grace” Muse has some pretty powerful lyrics, but as always, they continue to just send chills through my body whilst listening to them. My new favorite song is “Sing for Absolution”, which I quoted above. Watch the music video of the song. It’s got some pretty interesting visuals. What is really interesting, is I watched that exact music video over a year ago. I hated this song. I thought it was slow and needed a better beat, and the chorus was lame. I was far more interested in listening to Hysteria or Time is...

New Muse Song: United State of Eurasia

Posted by on Jul 26, 2009 in Music, Random, Review | 0 comments

So. basically, I’m a huge Muse fan. I love them. I mean, they’re great. Right? They’re essentially my favorite band of all time So. they have a new album coming up in September. So. they just released one of their songs from it. It’s called United State of Eurasia. And it is my favorite song (for now). At first, it was kind of a turn off. It’s a bit quiet (at first), and it just seemed a bit cheesy. It was also a bit too political. But after I realized it wasn’t just silly American bashing and it actually had a legit point, I enjoyed it a bit more. It look...

The Watchmen Review

Posted by on Mar 8, 2009 in Featured Articles, Film, Review | 0 comments

[singlepic=70,410,240,,] The Watchmen is part action, part mystery, part drama, but mainly it’s just damn interesting. The movie itself is a near carbon copy of the graphic novel, and it doesn’t just skim the interesting bits from the top – it delves into a lot of detail. [singlepic=67,115,100,,left]There’s a lot of adult subjects in here. From nudity to excessive gore to political commentary to deep characterization, The Watchmen doesn’t treat you like you’re stupid. It gives you the respect to watch a deep, adult oriented movie, without having to dumb...

My expectations were shaken by Taken

Posted by on Jan 31, 2009 in Film, Review | 0 comments

[singlepic=78,410,240,,] Wow. what a fantastic surprise this movie was! I was accompanied by a group of friends when we went to see this flick. Even though the new Underworld was released this weekend, our group of young and action-seeking college students ultimately decided on Taken. I mean, the trailer really did look pretty cool, and that played a big role in picking the movie. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. There is something special about this movie. Sure, it has it’s faults. And it probably isn’t going to win any awards. But if you like action movies, you’re...
