Now that the future Mr. Tangognat is visiting, I’m catching up on some of the movies that I’ve been meaning to see. We went to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I enjoyed Goblet of Fire more, I was surprised at how well the [...]

Details on the Director’s cut of Dark City

I rented this movie because I was curious about The Man Who Will Be Bond. The plot was rather convoluted and at times I wasn’t quite sure what was going on, due to my not being able to interpret British English very well. Something seemed off about the sound levels of the movie, because when [...]

I taught a whopping 4 classes yesterday. Remind me not to do that again this semester. So I decided I was entitled to a little fun today, so I ran off and saw Serenity, and enjoyed it very much. It did basically seem like a longer, souped-up episode of Firefly, but that’s exactly what I [...]
