I Finally Joined Netflix

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

I am going to be camped out on my sofa for most of next week so I gave up my title of Last American Geek Without Netflix in order to have a ton of entertainment that won’t require moving from the couch.
After joining, the first 4 movies they suggested:
Howard the Duck.

The Dark Knight at IMAX

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

I saw The Dark Knight again today; this time at Discovery Place’s IMAX theater. I understand that they need to keep everyone as close to the screen as possible but I really can’t justify sitting through a movie in seats as uncomfortable as the IMAX seats. I literally could not put my legs forward because [...]

The Celestine Prophecy (2006)

Monday, July 24th, 2006

The Celestine Prophecy
IMDB
Year: 2006
Rating: 4 out of 5

Like so many others, I spent 2 afternoons read The Celestine Prophecy a little over a decade ago. I didn’t think it could ever be made into an enjoyable movie, even going into it tonight I thought it would surely be too hokey to work. I [...]

I had no clue…  apparently it is true.  Erika Christensen Is Not Julia Stiles.  So my favorite Julia Stiles movie apparently isn’t a Julia Stiles movie at all.  Damn.  Who knew?
