Y'know, I think I hated it a lot more than you did.

Maybe it's because I never watched the first one, so I didn't really have a crappy point of reference.

And from your reference in the review, I take it that unlike Bay you've 'smoked up' before ;)

I haven't seen the movie yet. I thought the trailer looked kick ass, and Fox is hot, but the reviews put me off. Given yours, I'll probably put it on my list for the Budget show.

Hey Slap, thanks for the comment. I proudly admit that I have never 'smoked' before. But having tons of friends that have, and hanging around them when they do, they never go hyper. They go mellow. I think Bay mistook pot with ecstasy. But hey, what do I know!

When the trailers for the sequel came out, I thought they alone looked better than the first movie. I'd say at least give it a rent. But if you like seeing big explosions on the screen, then have at it in the cinemas.

REVIEW HAIKUS!!!! (#3)

It's time for another edition of Review Haikus; a feature I like to write when I'm too lazy to write out full reviews~!!! The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 Tony Scott schlockfest~! All his movies seem the same. A needless remake. Denzel's a bad-ass. Given up on Travolta. 1 of 2 ain't bad. Public Enemies Well? Disappointed. I expected more from Mann. The pacing felt off. Acting was good though. Man-crush on Depp and Bale. 5 more syllables! Saw VI Yes, another Saw. Harder to tell them apart. Blood, guts, bad story. Why more Saw movies? Each movie makes less and less. End this series now. ====== Later geeks!

Mark Waid's IRREDEEMABLE (Issues #1-7)

(Note: be warned that this review is on the spoiler heavy side, so read at your own discretion if you don't want the story spoiled.) Since I was a teenager, I always had this dream that I would become a quirky movie director and I'd make a bunch of crappy little horror movies to start with, but that my first big movie would be this anti-superhero movie. I dreamed up of an Apocalypse Now -like movie using existing Marvel superheroes where Captain America would go mad, slaughtering the innocent and go into hiding somewhere 'up the river'. There would be a detective like character (possibly superhero) that would be after him, interviewing his former teammates to find out what made the all-American hero go mad. Imagine my surprise when I started reading Irredeemable . Although not exactly the story in my dreams, it's pretty close. I started reading the series this past weekend upon the glowing review that those geeks over at iFanboy put up a few weeks ago. As far a

1st Week of Advent Series

Today was the first in the Reconstruction of Christmas series at FreeChurch Toronto . David McGhee, a former pastor at FreeChurch (Freedomize), kicked things off with a message on Gathering. The artsy peeps did a tremendous job of decorating the place for the occasion. Below are a few pics.
