Shutter Island (DiCaprio, Kingsley, Ruffalo) 138 mins The 1st thing to keep in mind about this psychological thriller is it was directed by Martin Scorsese. So first of all naturally it stars Leo DiCaprio. Second it screws with your head the whole time. Which in this and his other films, keeps you interested. But, […]

She’s out Of My League (Jay Baruchel, Alice Eve) 104 mins She’s out of My League is a Beauty and the Geek movie done to the predictable end, mixed with some John Hughes goodness. It’s a fun romp and funny with dialogue amongst the guys taken straight out of a Judd Apatow flick. Baruchel is […]

Valentines Day (A ton of stars, mainly Kutcher, J. Garner, P. Dempsey, T. Grace) 125 mins. This is a movie that will now get me on my soap box about movie critics. EVERY single movie review I have ever read about this movie was about how bad it was and how everyone mailed in their […]

Youth in Revolt (Michael Cera, Portia Doubleday,Jean Smart, Steve Buscemi) Youth in Revolt is a fairly funny movie in the Michael Cera sort of way. He’s an amazing intellectual actor and his delivery of deadpan comedic lines continue to crack me up. He plays his usual quirky socially awkward kid who has been alone or […]

Last week during E3, G4 had some good coverage on Bioware’s upcoming MMO Star Wars The Old Republic. The Geek and just about anyone who has ever played an online game is drooling in anticipaton of this game. Not only is Star Wars one of the most popular IP, the fact that Bioware is one […]

The Islanders finally enter the FA fray today signing 2 defensive minded D-men. According to Yahoo’s puck daddy shoutbox they get Mark Eaton for 2 years (2, then 3 mil per) and Milan Jurcina (reportedly 1 year 1 mil). I like both of these signings. While not earth shattering they both are solid stay at […]

I took the kids yesterday to see Toy Story 3 and I will say I was very impressed. Pixar just simply does not know how to make a bad movie. Even the short film before Toy Story 3 ,”Day and Night” is an amazing production. TS3 takes place years after the first 2 with Andy […]

Bob Mackenzie with TSN reports Ray Whitney signs 2 year 3 mil per deal with the Phoenix Coyotes. As usual great job idiot Rutherford not dealing him at the deadline. He had teams he would go to (even tho a short list) and they got nothing for him. HUGE blunder by Rutherford there. One of […]

Well as usual the Canes re-sign (sorta) one of their own. Often AWOL and quite the underachiever Anton Babchuk is back in Carolina for 1.4 mil for 1 year. This is a typical dispicable signing for the Canes. He has never shown to use his 6’5 frame like he should. He won’t hit guys and […]

In my real job I am a pharmacist. I work for a company that handles after hours clinical consultations and data input for multiple hospitals overnights. It’s a 7 on 7 off position which is pretty sweet. Occasionally in some of these facilities, patients will be wanting so much privacy that they will not even […]
