Life is too Short not to love this Guy: Almost 10 years ago I was reading an entertainment magazine, and they had an article about the most “bankable” actor in Hollywood. What they did was take the actors and add up the total gross off all their movies and that was the king. I can’t remember who was on top, maybe Bruce Willis or Tom Cruise, but I do remember that Bill Paxton was #3. I guess it was because he had a small part in Titanic. Fast forward 10 years, I believe that I have found the actor that might ... » Read more
Immortals-Review
Only two words can be used to describe the movie Immortals: visually-striking and graphically-stimulating. Hmm…I guess we can narrow that down to just one, visually stimulating. That’s it and that’s all. Immortals fell so short of amazing that watching it on mute is probably the best way to experience it. The plot line, or lack thereof, is so convoluted you can barely keep up or even feign interest.

However, the ghost story still doesn’t make up for ... » Read more

Consumer Electronics Show 2012
As I write this, the CES 2012 show is in full swing in Las Vegas. My other duties have precluded my attending this year, but there are a number of technologies that are "up and coming" that might be of interest to our readership: Gesture and Voice control of Electronic Devices--This seems to be a wave (ahem) of the future. Samsung showed off a gorgeous TV that used gesture and voice control rather than the conventional remote. Microsoft Kinect for Windows seems to be gaining some traction as well. Apple is rumored to be developing a television with a "Siri-like" interface. ... » Read more
