It was weird that I went to see Hugo with no preconceived notions. Not because I hadn’t heard about it – although any information about it was very scarce. It was because I heard about it over a year ago and totally forgot. I walked in just thinking it was a cool period piece with [...]

They DID the Impossible!
December 18th, 2011 
Chris Doelle That’s right. Tom Cruise‘s latest incarnation of Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol is pretty darn good. While I thought the very first MI film was average, the sequels were absolutely dismal. I was sure this was going to be more of the same – NOT. MI-GP was written well, acted well and [...]
The best marketed ambient music track ever…
October 19th, 2011 Chris Doelle It is being hyped as “scientifically proven to be the most relaxing song ever.” There are even hints that it may be “dangerous” to listen to while driving etc. The song is “Weightless” by Marconi Union. According to the study, in creating “Weightless,” the band uses a process called ‘entrainment’ to relax the listener – [...]
The Real Deal
October 16th, 2011 Chris Doelle Okay, when I first heard they were making a movie out of the old Rock ‘Em, Sock ‘Em Robots, I thought for sure it was going to suck. When I saw the previews for Real Steel, I was SURE it was going to suck. Something happened between watching that trailer and finally watching the film [...]

Think Google+ is a just another also-ran?
October 12th, 2011 Chris Doelle I have paid a lot of attention to the launch of Google Plus (G+) and have to say that it is still somewhat of an enigma. Sure, there are a ton of social media sites out there. Sure, the user base is already spending a good chunk of every day on sites like Facebook and [...]
Netflix = NetFAIL
July 13th, 2011 Chris Doelle Yep, you knew it was going to happen. Intent on making the move away from their original business model and the cost of storing and mailing discs, Netflix has separated the disc mailing business from the online streaming biz. I got this email: Dear Chris, We are separating unlimited DVDs by mail and unlimited streaming [...]
3D Done Well
July 10th, 2011 Chris Doelle First, let me start by saying that I am NOT a fan of 3D movies. The stuff purposely flying toward the screen is campy and takes the viewer out of the story. The 3D glasses are uncomfortable. There is really nothing positive that I can report about 3D movies in a normal theater. IMAX 3D [...]

July 5th, 2011 Chris Doelle Everyone talks about all the amazing phone apps and I am right there with them. Sure, I love the fact that I can do client work “on the go.” Sure, I love the fact that I can find movie times & nearby restaurants at a moments notice. Sure, I love being able to stream music, [...]

June 11th, 2011 Chris Doelle I am writing this while sitting at a Barnes & Noble which just happens to have a Starbuck’s attached. Part of the sequence of logging in to use their free WiFi is a welcome screen announcing that you can read free digital comics while at comics courtesy of Marvel. Marvel Digital Comics is offering the [...]
