1000s of Reviews for Movies, Music, Games, DVDs from Leading Critics

I have been using scoring system and then come up with a number score. The higher the number the better.

There is an interesting list of high scores.

If anybody needs an idea of what to get me for Christmas! :)
Just kidding. But doesn't this look interesting. I think it will be interesting to see how these handtops do in the future and if people start replacing their laptops with them.

Firefox - Rediscover the web

If you haven't check out this browser yet you ought to. It's head and shoulders better than IE. And currently it isn't plaqued by all the security issues.

Plus it's multi-platform far when you try out Linux. ;)

GMail accounts.

At the time of this post I have some GMail invites. Let me know if you want one.

CSI: Miami: Lost Son - TV Tome

Lost Son - Speedle is gone. Anyone know why he was killed off the show? Did he want too much money or something?

Interesting site if you click the link above. Check out the Goofs section.

Punch-Drunk Love (2002) *

Well, Rebecca and I didn't much care for this movie. Wasn't your typical Adam Sandler funny movie.

I look at Rotten Tomatoes for movie ideas and this was were I saw this movie. Rebecca suggested I not use that anymore. :)

New York Post Online Edition: Google Article

Is Google going to launch it's own browser? I think they would have some pretty heavy competion with FireFox more than IE.

WIMBLEDON **

Saw this yesterday with Rebecca. I was okay. I think Rebecca enjoyed it more than I did.

Paul Bettany is a pretty good actor and fun to watch. This is one of his more serious roles.

Check out other movies with him in it:

I Found Some Of Your Life

Better keep good track of your camera. :)

Sky Captain & the World of Tomorrow ****

Very cool movie. Saw this on the big IMAX screen. Austin and I loved it.

Moved my blog to my own server.

Hope this works. Looks like it will. Well, I moved it back to blogspot for now.

Can't believe we ate Mexican!

Well, finally a change. We usually go eat chinese after church. I mentioned Mexican figuring that would never go over and Austin said okay. Dang, you could of knocked me over with a feather.

Of course he ended up getting Chicken Fingers to eat. :)

But it was still a nice change for me.
