Happy birthday to my wonderful wife!
Other than cake and presents, the evening will include viewing the new Chuck episode and possibly Heroes. My patience is starting to wear thin with Heroes but I may give it one more night to entice me to stay. In case anyone is keeping track, I have already stopped viewing Fringe.
One more item. How cool is the new Star Trek movie preview? Very. Nuff said.

I'm Back
So much for updating the blog more often. Oh well.
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I seem to have a lot more free time, so in theory, I will be updating the blog more often. I'll play catch up with a couple of movie reviews.
Quantum of Solace is a great action movie that happens to involve James Bond. I really like the direction the Bond franchise is going and can't but hope that Craig is involved for the long haul. His Bond is an ice bomb moving one hundred miles an hour. Although in both Casino Royale and now Quantum of Solace we come away with a peak at the burning heart underneath all the cool. The only down side to the film is that the song during the opening credits is not a very good fit. I'm sure that it will be great hearing it on the radio but it doesn't gel for me with the film or Bond milieu. Also, the opening credit sequence was a bit of a let down after the stellar sequence for Casino Royale. Don't let these deter you. See the flick.
Hellboy 2 is a wonder to behold. If you liked the first Hellboy movie then you will fall in love with this one. All of the characters are taken to the next level and that includes the action as well. A new character, Yohan Strauss, adds some tension and one hilarious moment. Love abounds. Songs are song. Giant indestructible golden clockwork armies with forges for hearts are dispatched. See the movie now.
As a side note; if you like the Hellboy movies you should check out the comic book that is used for the inspiration. There are differences but you won't be disappointed.
That's it for now.
