There may be a small chance that I have some sort of a crush on Alvin… of the chipmunks.

Saw the squeakquel, reminded me of when I used to watch the cartoons all the time as a kid.

Saw a few movies recently: Slumdog Millionaire, Old Dogs, Sherlock Holmes, and Made of Honor.

Slumdog Millionaire – I enjoyed watching it, but it wasn’t the “MOST AMAZING MOVIE EVERRRRR” like everyone was telling me. It was fine, it was enjoyable, but I’m not watching it again.

Old Dogs – A pretty decent family movie with lots of silliness. Kept me amused.

Sherlock Holmes – I thought this was great. Mystery, light action, some romance… See it.

Made of Honor – A good romantic comedy. Watch it on TV like I did…

I had the chance recently to catch up on some movie watching and here is what I thought of these movies.

Bee Movie – D+.  The dialogue was ok but I hated the story line.  Never Again.

Hairspray – A-.  I usually hate musical-movies but found this one to be very entertaining and engaging.  It was a fun movie!

The Incredible Hulk – B-.  It was OK.  Decent action, but I just can’t believe that Edward Norton is the hulk.  Hulk Smash.

Saw the Speed Racer Movie last night, thought it was pretty good.  You should watch it when you get the chance…

Seriously… DO NOT watch Crank High Voltage.

It was awful.  Sure, some of the “artsy” crowd will say “it was great, what are you talking about?” because they seem to attribute the lack of a story line, awful camera angles, trashy humor, and awful cut scenes to “artistic flavor,” but just trust me when I say it was bad.

It was awful.  Don’t see it.  It was basically a video game, but I didnt even get to play.  Shooting, cut scene, shooting, cut scene, shooting, cut scene, boss level, end credits.

AWFUL.  I think they left out some of the more important plot cut scenes.

I love free stuff!

For a limited time, you can get the FairUse DVD Ripper for FREE!  No gimmicks, no catches, just go get it while it is still free.

So I finally got a TiVo, and I’m really excited about it, except wait… oh yeah, there is NOTHING TO WATCH.  Thanks to the writers’ strike none of my favorite shows are on anymore.  I don’t even know what to set tivo to record.  Any idea? I’m looking for some TV inspiration here.

PS – Tivo is TOTALLY today’s timewaster.

Saw Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the movie) recently and I’m giving it a C+.  Not very impressive, starts off really slow and doesn’t get interesting until halfway through.  The 3d-animation isn’t too impressive either.  The second half of the movie is fun to watch though.

Saw Jason Schwartzman at Coffee Bean today.  He was in shopgirl if you remember.  I never realized how short he was before…
