Longtime readers know I am a fan of documentaries. I especially like learning about how “the man is keeping us down.” Food, Inc. is not only a great lesson in that but, as someone who has taken a lot of time to educate himself on our food supply, sure to be on my suggested “must [...]

No Comments »Hmm… still not sure about Conan the Barbarian
March 14th, 2011 Chris Doelle Okay, so here is the trailer for the new Conan the Barbarian film coming out this summer. Let me say that the original comic book was one of my all-time favorites and I even liked the Schwarzenegger version of Conan, I am just not sure about Jason Momoa yet. The trailer doesn’t really give enough [...]
Sony “Gets It” on Facebook
March 3rd, 2011 Chris Doelle Sony is one of the big companies that “gets it.” When you head to their Facebook page, you are given these options: * make.believe * make games * make movies * make music Each of these mark a tab of their page where you can get interactive. The one that attracted me to the page [...]
Oscars Pull up Lame
February 28th, 2011 Chris Doelle Wow! Did James Franco stink up the place presenting at the Oscars or what? This has to be the worst Oscar show ever. Anne Hathaway looked brilliant next to Franco, even though she spent the entire night talking about herself. Supposedly, this is the Academy’s move to appeal to a younger demographic – they must [...]
SuperBowl ads revisited
February 8th, 2011 Chris Doelle Okay, I tweeted that I wasn’t very impressed with the SuperBowl ads – okay, I have to confess I didn’t see all of them. I was really busy with client work and didn’t even remember to turn it on until the 3rd quarter. Then, I simply started the Tivo and later zipped through the game [...]

January 29th, 2011 Chris Doelle I know it has been awhile since I did a movie review and frankly, it has been so long partly because I’m so busy, but partly because I have seen so many and don’t have a clue where to start. That said, let’s start with the most recent – The Rite. If you’re looking for [...]

January 6th, 2011 Chris Doelle I finally saw the first couple episodes of TNT’s Men of a Certain Age and I have to say I dig it. I absolutely love the cast. Scott Bakula (Quantum Leap & Enterprise) is one of my longtime favorites, I have been impressed with Andre Braugher since back in the day on Homicide, and Ray [...]

December 6th, 2010 Chris Doelle As coincidences go, I found this one rather cool. I got two movies in from Netflix recently and decided to watch them both today. When the second one started, I realized they both had Morgan Freeman in the cast. They were, in the order I watched, The Big Bounce and Invictus. There couldn’t be two [...]
More Cycling Coolness – Tour Divide!
November 17th, 2010 Chris Doelle I was watching a documentary on the DOC channel called, “Ride the Divide,” about the Tour Divide race. Being a long time fan of cycling and cycling events, I have to say that this one rocks! Similar in mileage to the Tour de France, it has a few aspects of it that make it much [...]

October 13th, 2010 Chris Doelle I have been watching a show on National Geographic entitled, “Into the Lost Crystal Caves,” and I am blown away by it. I just love the fact that we think we know so much about this planet and others but constantly discover that we know next to nothing. These caves are amazing! We are talking [...]
