I may have discovered the ultimate movie. The Machine Girl is a 2008 Japanese action/horror/comedy about a young Japanese schoolgirl, whose life is turned upside down when her brother is killed by a the son of a high ranking Ninja/Yakuza.
Apparently, she gets her hand cut off. Obviously she is now able to channel the [...]

Here are some pretty cool, for sci-fi geeks anyway, print ads produced by New Zealand advertising agency DDB New Zealand, to promote the screening of Aliens vs. Predator when it was on SKY TV. As a massive Predator, and Alien, fan boy, I love this stuff. My personal favorite is Alien vs. Predator totem tennis. [...]

If you had to describe the TV show Flight of the Conchords in one word, what would it be? I’m going to have to go with “quirky”. Even though I hate that word, it’s the first one that pops into my tiny under developed brain.
If you’ve never heard of the show before, allow wikipedia to [...]

I’ve been a member of MoreNiche for a while now, initially drawn in due to their generous sign up bonus. A while ago I set up a poker site, to see how the MoreNiche, WassPoker, product would go. Today I officially recorded my first sale.
It may be due to the current WassPoker offer “get 100% [...]

The one exception, is when Will Ferrell is involved.
I found this during random surfing. [...]

When someone in an open plan office (eg. no walls!) decides to hold a conference call on a speaker phone and then proceeds to have a conversation about how it’s nice that we are getting some rain. Here’s the tip, everyone else in your office will love listening [...]

It was with great anticipation that I went along to watch the Watchmen on the weekend. As we all know though, with great anticipation, can come great disappointment. So does the film deliver?
The graphic novel (note: not comic) Watchmen is one of the more revered illustrated stories in the universe. It was first released in [...]

When you sit down to watch a movie with the title “Zack and Miri Make a Porno”, you do so with certain expectations. You want laughs and you expect jokes that you wouldn’t feel comfortable re-telling to your mother. Fortunately Zack and Miri delivers both in spades, but for me, it delivered so much more. [...]

When February rolls around it always occurs to me that there is a flaw in my goal tracking. Obviously February is the shortest month of the year, in 2009 February had three fewer days than January. Therefore, it doesn’t quite seem fair to compare February’s results with those of January. None the less, that’s what [...]

In an effort to inject a little more culture into my life, I decided to go and see a film nominated for five Academy Awards, ‘The Reader’.
The Reader is based upon the 1995 German novel ‘Der Vorleser’, that funnily enough translates to ‘The Reader’. The novel was written by German law professor and judge Bernhard [...]
