The 411 From 406
From the monthly archives: February 2009
So the other day someone updated their status on Facebook and said they were watching Rock Star on TV. This of course got me thinking of this movie again and I just had to re-watch it for the blog. Finally… a piece of work that both metal fans and Marky Mark fans can [...]

I recently re-watched the TV miniseries V. Over the years (due to a subsequent sequel and television show) this has become knows as V: The Original Miniseries. I remember watching this when it originally aired over a couple of nights in 1983. I was absolutely enthralled so when it came out on DVD [...]
The fact that this movie didn’t even get nominated for ANY Oscars just goes to show how messed up the Academy is. From the very beginning this picture grabs you and doesn’t let go. The dialogue here is absolutely incredible and makes what could be a slow movie absolutely incredible.
Clint Eastwood plays Walt Kowalksi, [...]

I’m sure everyone out there on the Interweb loves to read about my crap. I had a couple of interesting/funny things happen this past weekend… enjoy!
A smoothie, when spilled by a two and a half year old, will splatter all over the floor, table, walls & windows. When said smoothie is mopped up it [...]
The most prestigious award that any movie can receive is the “Academy Award For Best Motion Picture” — The Oscar. Once a movie has this distinction it goes down in history as the “best” movie of that year. The red carpet at the Oscars is a huge event every year where all the stars turn [...]

When this movie (directed by Xavier Gens) was announced I was so pumped. For those of you that don’t know, Hitman is based on a video game franchise. If you’re a fan of the game series then you’ll probably like the film (though many things have changed from the games to the movie). That said, [...]
Drive Through People – Please… Wipe Off My Drink
By Chewie On February 8, 2009 · 3 Comments · In Commentary, Looking For Answers, Random Stuff, Rants
I’m a pretty level-headed guy. I tend to live my life with an “is what it is” or “roll with the punches” approach. There are not too many things that really piss me off. This happens to be one of them.
You drive through your favorite drive through and get your favorite tasty beverage. Invariably [...]

This Just In – Verizon Makes Bad Decisions
So recently got a new Blackberry Curve from Verizon Wireless. I’ve been with Verizon for years now and I’m very happy with the service. I have very few dead spots and I’ve never had a problem with their billing. Their customer service, on the other hand, leave a little bit to be desired.
Bad Decision [...]
