A fantastic capstone to a show that ended too soon

Serenity is a movie made specifically for fans of the cancelled Firefly television series. Serenity is a spectacular roller coaster ride, providing the viewer with plenty of excitement, twists, turns, and heart wrenching moments. Serenity is a must have for any sci fi fan.
What's great about it: Everything

Their best effort since Disintegration
on July 19, 2009
Posted by: rhettb
from Utah
4:13 Dream is easily the best album The Cure has put forth since their 1989 milestone Disintegration. 4:13 Dream is a return to the formula that made the band work throughout the second half of the eighties and early nineties. With the return of Porl Thompson on guitar, the ingredient that had been missing since his departure in 1993 has been restored. After a string of substandard releases spanning over a decade, 4:13 Dream finally sees the Cure return to form from a seemingly endless abyss.
What's great about it: The return of Porl Thompson!

SynopsisIn a galaxy far, far away, the legend of an iconic villain grows — and you are at his right hand. Darth Vader's plan to exterminate all the Jedi has been set into action, and as the Sith Lord's Secret Apprentice, your actions will be crucial in ensuring his quest is a success. Unleash the powers of the Force as you scour the galaxy for remaining Jedi, and prepare to confront decisions that will affect not just your destiny, but that of the entire universe. In this chapter in the Star Wars saga, the path you choose may lead to an outcome that will rock your perception of Star Wars continuity down to its foundation.Experience the power of the Force like never before. In Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, you'll explore the era between Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope as you toil as Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice, assisting him in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi. Wield four core Force powers against your enemies as you execute amazing, never-before-seen combos that let you not just Force grip enemies, but Force grip them in midair, zap them with lightning, then drop them to the ground and make them explode like bombs. Incredible new technology brings the story and action to life with stunning realism. With the debut of Digital Molecular Matter from Pixelux and NaturalMotion Ltd.'s euphoria behavioral simulation engine, you'll experience both environmental objects and interactive characters that move and behave just like they would in real life, from wood that breaks and splinters like actual wood to characters that think and act adaptively just like real human beings, producing different outcomes every time. The result is an incredible, immersive gaming experience in which your every act delivers real consequences. The Star Wars universe will never be the same.

The Best Star Wars Video Game Since KOTOR
on July 10, 2009
Posted by: rhettb
from Utah
Star Wars The Force Unleashed is a fantastic game. It features a compelling story arc where you play as Darth Vader's secret apprentice. The game mechanics are fun, and the Force powers operate somewhat similar to Psi Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy. This is a game worth buying and playing more than once.
What's great about it: Fast paced, compelling story and fun game play
What's not so great: A little short

A gut busting vision of the future
on July 9, 2009
Posted by: rhettb
from Utah
This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. It is a real shame that this film did not receive a wider theatrical release. This movie demonstrates (in a funny, none to serious way) where the dumbing down of American society will eventually lead. You will look at Fuddruckers and Carl's Jr in a whole new light after seeing this movie.
What's great about it: A very funny premise
What's not so great: No commentary

The best desktop system ever.

The Mac pro is a beautiful desktop machine. The metal case is durable and pleasing to the eye. Inside, there is no tangle of wires like a pc. It is very clean and easy to work.
The mac operating system, OS X runs like a dream. It is easy to use and problem free. (I made the switch to mac computers 3 years ago after having had enough trouble with Windows PCs).
The mac pro comes pre installed with great application, such as the iLife suite (iWeb, iPhoto, iMovie,iDVD and Garage Band).
This is the best desktop computer I have ever come across.
What's great about it: Aesthetically pleasing, easy set up, great OS, runs great.

Good film, despite what critics had to say.
on July 3, 2009
Posted by: rhettb

Although the film critics hated this movie (no surprise), Babylon A.D. is actually an enjoyable flick. The film is set in the post apocalyptic near future where rampant secular progressive ideology has all but destroyed the last vestiges of liberty and frayed the fabric of human society. Vin Diesel plays Toorop, a merc who is contracted to transport a mysterious girl from central asia to New York City. Dealing with terrorist attacks, progressive megalomaniac organizations, killer robot drones and other deadly encounters, this film delivers on action and story concept.
What's great about it: The look, story line, acting, action, visuals and pacing.
What's not so great: Not enough extras

Excellent Movie!!!
on July 2, 2009
Posted by: rhettb

This movie is one of the truly great sequels of all time. Instead of just expanding upon the theme of Pitch Black, the director takes the audience along with Riddick in an entirely new direction. Riddick is the last, best hope for defeating the Necromongers. A pseudo undead army that is crusading across the galaxy either converting or killing all humans in their path. It feels kind of like Conan the Barbarian in outer space.
What's great about it: A fantasic story, great visuals, and an awesome ride!

wats thge difference between a lcd and a plasma

LCD pros

1: Low Energy Consumption
2: LCD also reduces the amount of
glare on the screen
3: LCD screens are less likely to
suffer from image burn. If this
does occur, it’s easier to repair
than other types of TV’s

LCD cons

1: The viewing angle of an LCD TV is
typically not as great as Plasma
2: LCD TV’s can sometimes get dead
pixels
3: Brightness levels aren’t as great as
Plasma and it’s not possible to
display darks quite as dark

Plasma pros

1: Brightness and color are the major
advantages of Plasma
2: A plasma screen has wide viewing
angles which allow more people to
be able to watch TV comfortably
3:T he pixels of a Plasma screen are
lit individually, unlike LCD screens.
Because of this, the pixels can be
completely turned off to display
true black colors

Plasma cons

1: The lifespan of a Plasma TV is
much shorter than other types of
TV’s
2: Plasma screens are far more
susceptible to image burn (where
an image is “burned” onto the
screen when left on the screen too
long such as a network logo in the
bottom right corner of the screen
3: Plasma TV’s require a glass panel
to cover it. This glass can reflect
light and make it difficult to see the
picture
