Movie Reviews @ The Temple

30 Days of Night - Pretty damn cool!  Couldn't have been the comic, it's too weird a comic.  So they threw in some boring story and poorly developed characters.  But the core idea is still awesome, and it's bloody as a mopho, 's great.  Y'know what's fun?  Running around an empty parking garage after seeing a vampire movie.  Doesn't matter if vampires aren't real, if you are running in a spooky place, it feels like you are being chased.

The Invisible - Been meaning to watch this forever, so it sorta had some build up in our heads.  We liked it ok, it's kinda dumb in parts, but I liked it.

1408 - This one was pretty good.  John Cusack does a pretty good job going totally nuts.  It's scary in a very different way than 30 Days, pretty psychological, but I still like it.  It felt sort of like Silent Hill 4, which was cool.  Anyway, thumbs up!

Cool Case Mods

I loooove the sliding doors on the japanese-inspired one.  The rest here.

Junk Mail = Suck

So here's a couple useful things.  Sort of like the "do not call" list that happened a few years ago.  I never signed up for it, I figured it was just a list for some people to abide by, and for others to seize upon.  'sides, I don't have a landline so I never get telemarketers.  But these two are for junk mail and catalogs.  And I figure I can't possibly get any MORE of these things, so why not?

No More Catalogs, Please

Nor Junk Mail, Thank You

Brilliant machinima.  This could totally be pixar.

Movie Reviews @ The Temple

The Kovac Box - Meh, thought this might be interesting, but wasn't really.  Evil mastermind has a dastardly trap and dude & chick have to get out of it, snore.

Alpha Dog - Not bad!  Nothing revolutionary, just a bunch of kids getting in trouble, drugs, mini gang war, etc.  But given that, it's pretty well done.  I guess it's based on a true story too, which I didn't know till the end.

3:10 To Yuma - Verrrry good!  I haven't seen the original yet, so I'm not sure how it compares, but this was great.  Everything is done really well, the acting, atomsphere, really good music, action, all of it.  Go see it!

Dr. Strange - !!!  Dr. Strange animated movie!  Woo!  I had no idea it existed, I just saw it on a torrent site.  I d/l'd, watched it, loved it, and bought the DVD.  If you don't like dr. strange, it's just an average actiony cartoon, I think.  Very much in the style of modern superhero cartoons, spiderman or JLA, etc.  But I, loving Dr. Strange as I do, thought it was teh awesome.
