A satisfying Transformers toy haul

One of my hobbies aside from collecting CDs is collecting action figures. It’s a hobby that I’ve been into on and off since I was in high school.

The Orphanage (El Orfanato) Review

I was lucky enough to catch a screening of this movie directed by Antonio Bayona and produced by the one and only Guillermo del Toro.  Almost all of del Toro’s other work (albeit with him in a director capacity) and so naturally I was expecting equally great things from this film.  Unfortunately, I’m rather sad […]

New Dune movie to be developed

David Lynch’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s science fiction classic Dune may be flawed but despite its shortcomings I still enjoyed watching that movie. Had it been able to correct some of its flaws then it could have been an instant addition to the pantheon of quality sci-fi movies.
The Dune mythos was revisited again as a […]

HTC 730: Multi-directional Slider

Here in Canada, we don’t get the latest in cell phone technology. While most of the rest of the world is enjoying the iPhone, Canada shows no sign of having the Apple product here any time soon, and so imagine my surprise when I saw HTC looking at creating a multi-directional slider cell phone.
