  • April is National Distracted Driver Awareness Month

    OK, do not get caught texting (or talking on your cell phone) while driving (or even at a light) this month. You could get fined up $250. Here is a quote from the Modesto Bee: The California Highway Patrol, along with more than 200 California law enforcement agencies, today launched a crackdown on distracted drivers.

    “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” Movie Review

    “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” Movie Review OK movie (we watched it on VUDU).  Some very funny bits, way too much male frontal nudity, Segel is very funny. Kristen Bell (as Sarah Marshall) cheats on, then dumps, her long time boyfriend, Jason Segel (Peter Bretter) for rocker Russell Brand (Aldous Snow). Segel is devastated and follows a…

    “Source Code” Movie Review

    This is another movie I was not excited about seeing. Boy, was I wrong….again! “Source Code” is an AWESOME movie.  Thought provoking, suspenseful, very interesting, confusing, and ultimately satisfying. Going in, I thought “how boring” to see the same scene over and over again (Think Groundhog Day).  Boy, was I wrong!  Each time Jake Gyllenhaal…

  • “Limitless” Movie Review

    “Limitless” Movie Review Very good movie. Would you take a pill that allows your brain to work at it’s full capacity? My answer:  YES!  My dream has always been to be a University Professor doing research and writing up my findings in the IEEE.  Too bad my brain didn’t match up to my dreams. Bradley…

  • “The Shawshank Redemption” Movie Review

    “The Shawshank Redemption” Movie Review

    “The Shawshank Redemption” Movie Review Simply the best movie ever made. Chau and Carol both love(d) “The Shawshank Redemption”.  Interestingly, I only found this out one night while discussing favorite movies with Chau.  I mentioned that my favorite movie of all time was “The Shawshank Redemption”.  She looked at me in shock…and told me it…

  • Why Does Bigfoot Cross the Road?

    Guess we will never know the answer to my question…the person who shot this “wonderful” video of “Bigfoot” did not follow him or her. Maybe they were going to the “Bigfoot Bar and Grill”, or the “Bigfoot Hoedown”, or the annual “Bigfoot Ball”, or maybe there is a shoe store catering to Big(foot) and Tall…
