The Magician and The Parrot
A magician worked on a cruise ship. The audience was different each week, so the magician did the same tricks over and over again. One problem: The captains parrot saw the shows each week and began to understand how the magician did every trick. Once he understood, he started shouting in the middle of the show: "Look, its not the same hat!" "Look, hes hiding the flowers under the table." "Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?" The ...

Assault on Precinct 13
Starring: Ethan Hawke, Laurence Fishburne So John Carpenter who wrote the original screenplay for "Assault on Precinct 13" hasn't had much luck in the past with killer movies and scripts.

Put yourself in Detroit's 13 Precinct on New Years Eve and chances are you not going to get much sleep. ...

Dual Graphics Cards
Rumor? Made up? Impossible? Nope. Its real and its here... Step aside AGP, we have a new winner, PCI Express. Thanks to the joys of modern technology and advances therein, you can now join the powers of 2 graphics cards to make one monster graphics processor. Its been done before in a somewhat neanderthal manner with loads of cables and wires joining the two cards, but now thanks to Nvidia's new SLI adapter, its possible ...

So its a brand new week…
Back to the grindstone for all of us again. Fortunately it's a bright and sunny day in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. This weekend I spent some time thinking about life and love. Why is it that all of us crave that feeling of being loved? Why is it that every single last one of us will put ourselves through the process of falling in love? I mean, look at the gut-wrenching insecurities that we go through during this process!

The Interpreter
Gotta admit this was a bit disappointing. The preview showed these awesome action shots of a bus exploding and gripping scenes as Sylvia (Nicole Kidman) turns around and see's a masked face outside her window...Shoo..the preview made the movie look really gripping. Unfortunately though, those gripping scenes were the sum total of the gripping scenes in that movie. Bollocks. It was a good movie, don't get me wrong. But don't expect a twisting, turning, reeling ride. Its got a heavy political undertone, ...

“Don’t look at me that way!”
Wanna know what's busting my drums (ear variety) today? Well it's The Bravery. More specifically, their single, "An Honest Mistake". Yep, it's another 'the' band but if The Killers hadn't done it first, these New Yorkers would be hailed as the band that resurected the eighties synths and the Robert Smith drawl. Borrowing a bit from the Yeah Yeah Yeah's and a lot from The Strokes, The Bravery have crafted another ...

Black Eyed Peas
It is just me, or do the Black Eyed Peas totally rock? ... I mean rap...or is it hip... I dunno, but they continue to make really wikkid tunes. I mean, their first album, 'Elephunk'...damn... How cool was that? I can dig the vibe of shirtless niggaz and wiggaz cussing about their ho's and sharing their lust for more bling, but come on.. enough already! BEP's go beyond that. They make music, and dare I say they're damn good at ...

Oh Happy Days

Its been a frustrating process and many a saint has been cursed for no apparent reason, but now, i'm glad to say, (thanks fredix) my blog is finally updated and in place.
