    “Our Idiot Brother” Movie Review

    – – Paul Rudd (as Ned) is really not an idiot.  He is an innocent child-like man who puts his faith in other people, hoping that the best in them will come out if given the chance.  He is honest to a fault…and he loves Willie Nelson. Trusting a local cop who asks to buy…

  • Bulldog Surfin to the Beach Boys

    Chau continues the bulldog video’s with this classic.  This bulldog is surfing to the Beach Boys, “Surfin USA” song.  Very cool…especially the music.  🙂 Us old folks will remember this song with nostalgia growing up on Long Island hitting the surf at Gilgo Beach…ahhh, memories.  The young folks can listen to a CLASSIC band playing…

    “Paul” Movie Review

     (Terrific) – – We watched this on VUDU. Looking at the trailer, I thought this might be a crude, loud, crazy movie.  What it is is a sweet, low key (well, most of the time), well acted escape movie, with a heart of gold. Simon Pegg (as Graeme Willy) and Nick Frost (as Clive Gollings)…

  • “One Day” Movie Review

      The reason I go to the movies, and read, is to be transported to a world not connected with reality.  A mini-vacation.  A state-of-mind where I can be an ape leading a revolution, a plain man learning how to pick up beautiful women, a skinny kid super hero, a chubby zookeeper talking with animals,…

    “Zoolander” Movie Review

    We watched this on VUDU. Ben Stiller (as Derek Zoolander) is the top male model in the world.  Unfortunately, his brain power does not match his looks and this makes him the perfect person to train to assassinate the Prime Minister of Malaysia. Will Ferrell (as mega designer Jacobim Mugatu) is off the wall bad in this…

    “He’s just not that into you” Movie Review

      — — We watched this on VUDU. A cast full of stars agonizing over the fact that if a guy wants to call you back (or marry you), he will.  If he does not want to call you back (or marry you) he won’t. DUH. A fun movie, funny in parts, angst ridden. With…

  • Gabe the Bulldog

    Chau sent me this link yesterday via email.  If you love dogs, you gotta love this.  Bulldogs rock…they have great personality.  Gabe the bulldog is very well trained… — — Drive Safe!  Never Forget.

  • VUDU Now Streaming on the iPad

    If you have read our Movie Reviews on this blog, you may have run across the fact that we sometimes watch movies on “VUDU”.  As an engineer, and blogger, several years ago, I tested a new Internet-based streaming technology and LOVED IT!  That was VUDU (see my original blog post raving about it). We own…
