Friday, August 14th, 2009You just knew there had to be a sequel. Tony Jaa became too much of a hit to not get another crack at this film. But this new film takes a very different direction indeed. Unlike most sequels, Ong Bak 2 is jumping right to a prequel stage. Instead of going forward with the storyline [...]
The Cylons are coming – again
Friday, August 14th, 2009You just have to love Hollywood. Because the only thing better than a hit original idea is someone else’s hit original idea that you can copy and revision over and over again. Like Halloween, The Brady Bunch, Dukes of Hazzard, Alien Vs. Predator (2 different great movies, one horrible waste of time), Mission Impossible, Invasion [...]
Correction to statements made by Michael Vass
Friday, August 14th, 2009As many of you are aware, I write about political matters at my other blog VASS. Recently I have discussed the Health Care Reform – even sending out letters to Sen.

What’s funny about abortion?
Thursday, August 13th, 2009Well that was a question that was addressed by the one television show that could possibly find a funny angle to such a controversial topic. Family Guy.

Thursday, August 13th, 2009Perhaps it’s me, but I expect that when a company makes an offer that I accept they are bound to the deal. IF I try to back out of it, they will sue me and/or get bill collectors bugging my every move. Basic economics right? Well Best Buy seems to think otherwise. Now I understand [...]
2009 Medal of Freedom recipients
Wednesday, August 12th, 2009Today President Obama awarded 16 Medals of Freedom. It is the highest honor that can be bestowed on a civilian. As such it is something that is not taken lightly. I won’t address the slight controversy of Mary Robinson, the somewhat blatant political pandering in regard to Jack Kemp, Ted Kennedy,and Sandra Day O’Connor. At [...]
Andy Lau helps victims of Typhoon Morakot
Wednesday, August 12th, 2009Often I have spoken about various celebrity donations. Whether its opening a children’s hospital wing, building houses in New Orleans, donating funds to relief efforts in Darfur, or numerous other causes (though each of the previous can always use more help). But in general I have tended to focus on American celebrities. Which is a [...]
