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 [...]

No Comments »WordPress App Still Needs a Little More
June 11th, 2011 Chris Doelle Okay, so I finally broke down and used the WordPress app. I have had it for months, but didn’t want to go through the task of setting up the blog(s) and learn the interface. The setup was breezy. The interface was a snap. It was actually looking like something I would use regularly. Well, that [...]

April 25th, 2011 Chris Doelle First, let me reiterate that I have said from day one that the whole GroupOn/Living Social business model is a flawed one. Not only does it fail to attract valuable customers to most businesses using the coupons, but companies give up too much for the new customers it attracts and actually turns existing “profitable” customers [...]

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 [...]

September 17th, 2010 Chris Doelle I know it is hard to believe but, I have never seen a Humphrey Bogart movie all the way through. Yeah, me – the guy who has rated and/or reviewed over 3,000 movies – the same guy that LOVES old black and whites… never has seen a Bogey film all the way through. Sure, I [...]

July 27th, 2010 Chris Doelle It’s been quite some time since I did a movie review. As you can imagine, with a new wife, new kids, a new house, new company and yes – even a new dog, things have been a bit busy, (Yes, Lou is still with us as well.) Things are going amazing and during all these [...]
Shrek: They Finally get it right!
June 3rd, 2010 Chris Doelle I was a fan of the very first Shrek, but thought the following two incarnations were just a cash-grab. They were clearly put together just to cash in on the franchise. Well, with two out of three sucking worse than any animated series ever – I felt sure that the title for this post would [...]

May 11th, 2010 Chris Doelle I am actually embarrassed to admit that I sat down to watch Dance Flick. I never got into any of the silly teen dance films, so what made me think that I would like one of those ridiculous parodies about the same subject? Unlike Scary Movie and a couple of the other parodies that were [...]
Cornucopia of Bad Movie Reviews
March 29th, 2010 Chris Doelle It has been some time since I’ve shot out a movie review, so I figured I would do one of my buckshot reviews – a lot of little tidbits covering a wide range of film. Not sure if the analogy fits because equating a mini-review to a pellet being blasted from a 20 gauge doesn’t [...]

February 14th, 2010 Chris Doelle Dawn and I went to see Valentine’s Day on… uh, yeah – you guessed it – Valentine’s Day. My overall view of the film was good (for a chick flick.) It had some good comedy, some sappy romance, and even a cameo by Director, Garry Marshall. Okay, naming a cameo by Marshall as one of [...]
