Battleship Potemkin (1925/2005)
2007-07-26 00:55:00 I got the latest (or one of the most recent ones) Pet Shop Boys album, “Battleship Potemkin”. I was interested because I am a big fan of the movie. Sergei Eisenstein directed this silent movie in 1925 - just a few months after Stalin came to power. Since he was a Jew he didn’t get to ... More About: Movies , Ship

Bridge To Terabithia (2007)
2007-07-25 08:31:00 Warning: this is Disney. This is a good sweet movie, but it’s a fairy tale for kids. The plot: a 10-year old boy Jess from a poor family wants to be the fastest runner in his class, but he is outran by a new girl, Leslie, in Jess’ school, although the race was called a “boys only” race by ...

Divorzio all?italiana (1961)
2007-07-23 20:06:00 aka “Divo rce Italian Style” (USA). I saw this movie when I was a kid. Starring Marcello Matroianni (my mom is still in love with him) and Stefania Sandrelli. Enough had been said about this movie in the past 46 years. Just wanted to see again this beloved movie. And by the way, some movies look ... More About: Movies

Mandela and de Klerk (1997)
2007-07-23 20:00:00 In 1964, Nelson Mandela , along with several other members of his party and political detainees, were convicted for treason (technically they were charged with capital crimes of sabotage, which Mandela admitted - the charges were easier for the government to prove then treason) against South Africa, and sentenced to life in prison. They were to be held ... More About: Movies

Knocked Up (2006)
2007-07-23 17:52:00 This is the only movie in the past 10 years that I came back to the theater to watch again a week after the first viewing. And both times I laughted so hard my face hurt. Best movie of the summer! The plot is simple: Ben, an unemployed pot-head who lives on money he was awarded after ... More About: Knocked Up , Knock

Sony PlayStation 3 (60GB)
2007-07-21 01:13:00 I have a nice 46″ Sharp Aquos, but no player to play DVDs in 1080p. I’ve done quite a bit of research, looked at stand-alone players, different formats (HD-DVD and BD), and it appeared that the best value is buying not a player, but a game console: either XBox 360 with HD DVD player, or Sony ...

Harry Potter and the Order Of Phoenix
2007-07-14 00:17:00 We saw it on Saturday. Highlights: Cho Chang (Elena calls her Chow Ming for some reason) was cute when she was 11 in the “H.P. and the Saucerer’s Stone” (intentionally misspelled), but now she’s just “third world ugly” (borrowed that phrase from Chris Tucker from “Rush Hour” - 3rd installment coming soon!).

Live Free or Die Hard (2007)
2007-07-09 00:19:00 Seen it on July 7th, 2007. It may be the worst of Die Hard movies, but ironically, what makes the movie entertaining is all the ways the filmmakers are trying to insult my intelligence. Well, that may be an overstatement. Let’s just say, “all the unbelievable ways they are trying to kill the Bruce Willis’s character”. ... More About: Movies , Free , Live , Die Hard

Would’ve been A++++, but I knocked out two stars for a) some robots still talk like in the 80s: “NUMBER FIVE - ALIVE - NO DISASSEMBLE” b) uhm.. ok, great movie.
