The 411 From 406
From the monthly archives: August 2009
These days you can’t turn around without seeing a reboot, remake or retelling of some story from your childhood. Hollywood has been on this kick for quite some time now so it was only a matter of time before remakes came to network television. ABC is throwing its hat in the ring with [...]
There are some actors that can play many roles. There are others who are typecast and can never quite get outside of their comfort zone and play another character. There are still others that are forever linked to one particular character. That’s what this list is… the top 10 (in no particular order) “what character [...]
Before I start this review I wanted to give you my Joe credentials. While I’m not old enough to have had the 12 inch figures I was fanatical when it came to the Hasbro figures and the original Marvel comic books. I watched the cartoons religiously and remember like it was yesterday when I saw [...]
In 1980 the face of horror movies changed. We were introduced to Camp Crystal Lake and a killer named Jason Voorhees (yes, I know that Jason’s mother was the killer in the original… stick with me). From 1980 to 2003, we were given 11 sequels that took Jason from Crystal Lake to deep space, New [...]
I’m not normally a fan of “based on a true story” movies simply because there normally isn’t enough drama involved (unless you’ve got a story like Miracle). That said, Milk really wasn’t on my radar cause I’m not a big Sean Penn fan either. However, once the reviews came out I knew that I had [...]
For us this has been a summer of weddings. Denver, Chicago, Cleveland and now Charleston. It’s weird how after a couple of summers with no weddings… BAM we get hit with 4 in one summer. Certainly not complaining – we had a BLAST! (See: I Poked The Wedding Cake, Combos, Fireworks [...]
They say you can’t ever go home. In this picture, Pip and I prove that it simply isn’t the case. This photo was taken 5 or 6 years after we left Bloomington during one of our trips back for Homecoming. Not sure if the residents were even home but we just had to head home [...]
I was born in the mid 70′s. It was before we had hundreds of channels on TV and it was before there was a blockbuster a week in the theaters. There are comic, cartoon and movie properties that are so ingrained into my being that they are a part of me… and they’re all being [...]
For years, one of my favorite bands has been Jackopierce. I started listening to them in high school and have been enjoying their music ever since. For those of you that don’t know, Jackopierce is made up of Jack O’Neil and Cary Pierce. The band was formed in 1988 while they both attended college in [...]

The Bounce House – A Torture Device For Parents
If you have children under the age of 5 you more than likely already know what a bounce house is. If not, I’m here to tell you. It’s an inflatable house, palace, maze, etc. that your child goes into for what seems like hours on end, bounces around and has a damn fine time doing [...]
