My bro Dahood on my bike for a test ride, yesterday (as you can probably tell from the photo, Dave’s never seen a kettlebell in his life… riiiiiight …. ):
So, I did have a good Fourth of July. My friends Liz and Ping recently moved into a new (to them) house, and [...]

From an email I sent some friends, as a reply to my brother’s email that included this link to a Golden Compass review.
The Golden Compass:
I did finally watch it (I finally joined Blockbuster), but it took me two sessions. So maybe that contributed to the feeling I had of not getting too much out [...]

So–I did see the new Indiana Jones movie this weekend. Twice. It was a fun movie, so it didn’t bother me to see it again. I ended up going twice though so I could experience it with two sets of friends, and I was glad to do so.
I’m not up to much [...]

So, on Saturday, we caught the IMAX film U2 3D. What can I say? It was really cool; I mean, it was U2, after all, and it captured many of their best anthems.
And–it was in IMAX 3D. After I saw Beowulf in 3D, I’ve been thinking every film should be made and [...]

So, last Saturday night, Shawn and I convinced some unsuspecting friends to go see the best movie all year, Doomsday. It was friggin’ awesome! I loved it, as nasty, raucous, and hysterically over-the-top as it was. Maybe I was just in the mood–whatever. Loads of fun.
Here’s a review that says almost exactly how I [...]

I love my Brits. I mean, other than a bit of business back in the 1700s, and, well, maybe in the 1800s, we’ve all gotten along pretty well.
But one thing that always kills me is this thing about everybody turning into Patrick Stewart when they’re in a movie or play set in the time [...]

Speaking of legends, a group of us went to go see I Am Legend, the new Will Smith movie, from the Richard Matheson book.
I have to say, I rather liked it. I liked the way it sort of, unfolded, in a non-hurried way that let us know the day-to-day living that the main character [...]

Ah! Since we seem to be on a movie theme… right now one of my most favorit-ist ( ) movies is on–Hitchcock’s To Catch A Thief.
The movie is technically brilliant; the lighting especially, the music, the acting, and the wonderful banter of the principals. I love it. And then there is [...]

And lo, it came to pass that there was a Showing of the earlier mentioned Supreme Ultimate Barbarian Film, Conquest.
A couple of friends were quite intrigued with the movie from my description in these humble pages. And naturally, they thought: “Drinking Game!” And so the showing became. It was decided that [...]

Yesterday, I finally finished watching an AMAZING movie. Note that “amazing” isn’t necessarily a good thing…
“Conquest“
It’s somewhat amusing but suuuper-schlocky, in a worse-than-Full-Moon-Video-way. The Wikipedia entry doesn’t do it justice.
Think of Circle of Iron mixed with Quest for Fire (with lots of breasts and busted heads) with loads of Perils of Gwendoline (one [...]
