We saw the movie RV last night, starring Robin Williams, Cheryl Hines, Jeff Daniels, and Kristin Chenoweth. It was considerably better than we expected, after seeing the previews and reading some newspaper reviews. It had standard camp-humor involving toilets and animals (not at the same time), but it managed to bring Robin Williams’ funny side …

Meat!
“They’re Made out of Meat,” is one of the best short internet videos I’ve seen in a while. Check it out.
Thank You For Smoking
We saw Thank You For Smoking on Friday.* We enjoyed it immensely. Originally, we’d seen the previews and thought, “Hey, that looks like a good movie,” but then it came out and didn’t show up in our local theaters. Hmmmm…must not have been that good. Lo and behold, it’s here this week and it was …
"V for Vendetta"
I find it dissapointing that so many movie reviewers are poo-poohing this movie. I saw it and I liked it! Of course, given the nature of the previews, you might expect (understandably) that it’s an action film, which it is not. And, you might expect that because of the Wachowski brothers’ involvement that it would …
"They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard!"
Just in case you needed some song to stick in your head for days on end, you should check out this remixed LOTR video. Of course, while you’re at that site, you should glance around and see some of the other posts that entertained me: For example, Random Personal Picture Finder. This one can keep …

Top Ten Sci-Fi Films Never Made

The Worst Movie of 2005
The Worst Movie of the Year (that I saw) was The Family Stone, a steaming pile of crap if I’ve ever stepped in one. If you saw the previews for this movie, I’m willing to bet you assumed it to be a romantic comedy or a family-dynamic comedy or a holiday comedy. Notice the theme …
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
We saw Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe last Saturday. Quick review: Good. Go see it. Excellent scenery and CGI graphics. It didn’t depart very much from the book, which we appreciated (although there were a few supporting characters that were entirely new). Good flick. However, this post concerns accents and …
Aeon Flux
Another week, another movie. This time it was Aeon Flux, starring Charlize Theron and other people I’ve never heard of. What to say… If you want to see Charlize Theron strutting around in a tight body suit, two thumbs up. If you want to see nifty neato futuristic stuff, one thumb plus a digit. If …
