  • Well, it is not every day that you get such a treat as this…and believe me, this one was an unknown surprise. Do you like big monsters…do you like video games…do you like anime?? Then I can’t overstate my recommendation to watch Negadon: The Monster for Mars!

  • I am a forgiving guy, I really am, all my friends can attest to this about me. That is probably the ONLY reason why I am excited and willing to give the third installment of the Lost Boys a chance. After the second movie, The Lost Boys: The Tribe, I was extremely let down and quite frankly a little bit pissed off. I firmly beleive it could have been fairly easy to write a super rad sequel to The Lost Boys. Something like the sound of the plot of  “The Lost Boys: The Thirst” which is been announced as the official title.

  • Can you beleive it? Pee-Wee Herman is BACK! Talk about some serious nostalgia seeing Pee-Wee appear on the Jay Leno Show last night! He was a huge part of my childhood in fact in my room I have my Pee-Wee Herman doll (that speaks!) Chairy too (which is a Hand Puppet) and the super cool ventriloquist doll Billy Baloney (who appears in my “Get You Own Box” video gorging his face with Cheez-It Crackers) . Anyway it’s was a great surpise seeing him back on the scene with a  brand new stage show on the horizon. Check this out if you missed it!

  • I am not sure how It is that I just found out about the sequel to the amazing spanish movie REC but all I can really say is I’m more than ready to continue the journey!! REC was the far superior original of the later well made US version “Quarantine”. It seems the original directors Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza are back  for the sequel which is great news.

  • There is no doubt that I will forever be a big kid…and there is no changing that…ever…even with fisticuffs! So when Cartoon Network debuted Marvel’s new cartoon addition to its comic legacy, The Super Hero Squad, all of my super senses were poised and ready to view. Of course, I did my usual relaxation, meditation, and inner soul searching to prepare myself for what I knew would be the case. This is a kid’s show, and I have to make the concessions necessary. Well, the verdict is in…call me a dork, I deserve it, I freaking loved the show! But I am easy to please.

  • Tonight is usually the night we normally play D&D but instead this evening we’re all going to see some power metal instead! In “The Dungeon” which is what we call our basement area where we geek out and role dice every sunday we listen to stuff like Mortiis, Midnight Syndicate and other various movie scores while we play. But during the game when a battle ensues the music quickly changes to various fantasy power metal mixes that I have made exclusively for D&D. Nothing get’s a battle moving more than a little Blind Guardian, Iron Maiden or Elvenking!

  • Last night I checked out the newly released on dvd this week horror thriller “Deadgirl”. I must say I have never seen a movie quite like this before and once you see it, it’s a surefire fact that you will never forget it. I wasn’t sure what to expect except that in the recent months I’ve heard quite a bit of hype behind this one. The story is simple yet twisted. It follows two high school problem teens named Rickie & JT as they cut class, drink beer and vandalize an old abandoned mental institution.

  • There’s some MORE new real life monster footage that just popped up today and is storming the news! This is fantastic news considering I’m a HUGE fan of monsters! It seems another creature has has shown it’s face recently in Panama. This one looking much different than the supposed recent Chupacabra found dead has been called a “Gollum” like monster as shown in the movie Lord Of The Rings. I will agree it does resemble him quite a bit. This thing is thought to be the legendary “Montauk Monster“.

  • Dating has been a long time challenge for extremely smart men with active imaginations (Dorks). But luckily there are some great dating services out there to help those lonely souls in need of companionship. After watching this we might need to bring video dating back to the forefront of the singles scene.

  • Wow…slap in the face is an understatement on this one folks. In case you are not aware, ancient carrier pigeons are still faster than some of today’s methods of carry high volumes of data. According to BiongBiong.net, a South African IT company got so fed up with the national Telkom’s notoriously poor Internet service that they decided to set up a race that pitted the Telkom’s network against a carrier pigeon. Yeah, and the pigeon won.
