Better Bat

1989′s Batman was the best filmic rendition of the Caped Crusader’s story ever. But not any more. My spoiler-free review of the newer (and even better) Bat is up at JIVE.

Thumbs On

Sometimes a gimmick creeps into your work. Sometimes, such gimmicks are fun. Hence, my rather encyclopedic review for Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

Simultaneous Reviewal

Yes. I am still in training. All day, every work day. And yet, two new reviews were posted over the weekend. One is for the new street-racing diversion from Rockstar Games and the other is for a cable-free Xbox controller. The great thing is that I was able to critique one while using the other.

Incredible Smile

Another day, another pair of JIVE-placed reviews: Pixar’s The Incredibles and Brian Wilson’s belated Smile! Also, I’ve taken a stack of my older writings and reviews and converted them to posts. This rolls the archives back another pair of years, all the way to April of 1999.

Dance For The Freedom (The Music – Welcome to the North)
