If you never watched V: The Original Miniseries you might not know who Donovan is. You may not know who Diana, John or Juliet are. But aside from the opening dream sequence that would make absolutely no sense to you it would be relatively easy to pick this one up and understand what’s going on.
Just as V: The Original Miniseries, V: The Final Battle was a made for TV event that played out over a few nights in the early 80′s (1984 to be exact). After the initial dream sequence, the story opens on the Resistance preparing for… Continue reading
Origin movies are generally pretty dry. They have to tell the back story of the character to make sure that everyone is up to speed. This movie suffers a little bit from that but it’s one of the best first installments of a comic book character that we’ve had in a long time.

- Jobless rate in Cuyahoga County lower than state as… Continue reading

- A child that takes a nap every day during the week will NOT take a nap on the weekend… especially when you REALLY want him to take a nap.
- The same child that is not napping and is really pissing you off… Continue reading
The Culling Of My Friends On Facebook
Facebook is an amazing site. It allows people to get back in touch with one another after many years. It’s a great time waster at work and there are some pretty cool applications on there. That said it can be incredibly addicting and if you’re like me you can get caught up in the hype. Similar to MySpace and LinkedIn, Facebook allows you to become “friends” with people. They need to approve you as a friend but there’s really nothing to it. Once that’s occurred, you’re able to view information about them (whatever they’ve set up as available at… Continue reading →
