Hitler paintings sell for $143,000
Thursday, April 23rd, 2009I’ve heard it all now. In England paintings supposedly made by Adolph Hitler were sold at an auction for $143,000. Why? I am amazed that anyone would want the art of a dictator and the mastermind of one of the greatest attempted genocides in the history of the world. Morbid fascination might lead one to [...]

While [...]
Movie Review: Dragonball Evolution
Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009If for some reason you found yourself bored and wondered if you should go see a movie, don’t make it Dragonball Evolution. If you are a fan of Dragonball and/or Dragonball Z, or even GT don’t see this movie. In fact if you are above the age of 5, are of normal intelligence, can draw [...]
Movie Preview: The Princess and the Frog
Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009Ok, so call me late to the party. I don’t follow kid’s films much, nor do I follow Disney. So I missed a bunch of the controversy that is The Princess and the Frog. Perhaps you missed it as well. The film will be released in December of this year. Here is a trailer. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0j7EactM9s&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0] [...]
