Tuesday Media Roundup #36

Weeds season 4 finale - This is the first Weeds finale that didn’t leave it with the assumption that it might not get renewed fort another season while still ending on quite a cliffhanger. I don’t know how much longer the show can keep going but at this point I’ll keep enjoying it as long [...]

Mythbusters Moonlanding Myths - It’s been quite awhile since I thought they were testing real myths but in this case they come though in the testing of what consipracy theorists consider the biggest evidence that the moon landings were faked.
Tropic Thunder - The funniest movie I’ve seen in awhile and the best Ben Stiller movie [...]

It’s been almost three months since the last update and I have 15 movies and one tv documentary here so it looks like I average just over one movie a week.
The Extreme Adventures of Super Dave -  I loved the Super Dave shorts when I was a kid so when this came on I had [...]

Tuesday Media Roundup #32

A Knight’s Tale - With the passing of Heath Ledger I learned that I had not actually seen any of his movies. I probably wasn’t going to be seeing any until The Dark Knight later this summer until I saw a movie channel was playing A Knight’s Tale. Aside from names it doesn’t have much [...]

Tuesday Media Roundup #26

Rocky III - Still working my way through the Rocky movies again. Mr. T starts out pretty menacing but halfway through he turns into a charicature of himself. The central story of a man overcoming loss of  confidence brought about by learning his accomplishments were a lie works though. Not as good as the first [...]

National Treasure: Book of Secrets - Like the first National Treasure movie, this one was a lot of fun though less realistic. Also you have to have seen the first one to appreciate the characters.
RoboCop - I re-watched this in HD recently. It’s nice to not have every movie with machines be man vs machine. [...]

Tuesday Media Roundup #24

Movies:
Protocols of Zion - A documentary about “The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion” and a look at who believes it to be true. Well mostly about who believes it to be true. If you know about the protocols then it’s mostly seeing how far and wide they have been taken up by people [...]

Top Chef finale

That was a great finale and I made something that won me a steeping teacup!
(spoilers at the end)
I made a  dessert appetizer composed of graham cracker, semi-sweet chocolate, and boysenberry butter. It ended up being a lot less sweet than I thought it would be which was a good thing since I was worried about it being too [...]

Tuesday Media Roundup #22

Superbad - It started off fairly slow but after the first 15 minutes I thought it was pretty funny and it just got funnier as it went on. I also liked the unusual response to alcohol consumption.
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre - This movie is all over the place. At times it’s fantastic, at [...]

Tuesday Media Roundup #20

The final Price is Right with Bob Barker - I hadn’t watched the show in years and I mostly watched it as a kid. It was fun seeing this. The excitement of everyone on the show was awesome and a number of cars were won. The value of the final showcase was about $90,000!
Pirates of [...]
