Ghostbusters (2016)

When there's something strange and it don't look good... I have been a huge Ghostbusters fan since the first time I removed an Ecto Cooler juice box from my lunch bag as a young lad. The original movie is such a classic that it can be watched at any time and still kill with the laughs. And if I'm feeling ghosty, but I feel…

Suicide Squad (2016)

DC Comics bad guys take on one of their fellow bad guys that was unleashed by the government intelligence officer who assembled the team of bad guys to stop other bad guys. This is pretty lame, even for an anti-superhero superhero movie. I watched the "Extended" version and I think I would have liked the un-Extended one better, simply because it would have been…

The Jungle Book (2016)

Here we go again with the remakes/reboots/re-imaginings/re-living-the-past/'member-berries. It's not a bad movie. It's got some well known characters and the production is top-notch. I loved Bill Murray as Baloo. It's a classic story that probably was due for an update. Probably. At the same time, I can't say it really captures the essence and free spirit of the animated Jungle Book. I know it's…

I Think We Need A Bigger Boat

It was becoming apparent that our home network was a bit under-powered for all the stuff we stream and the plethora of devices connected wirelessly. The cable modem (Motorola SB6121) was from 3 years ago and the wireless router (Cisco E1200) wasn't that fancy 4 years ago. The ISP keeps modifying how they pump data through our cable, so older modems, even DOCSIS 3.0…

NFL Power Rankings Week 12

Other than the Bucs beating the Chiefs this week went pretty much as expected. Not a lot of movement. Raiders and Cowboys continue to beat good teams. Browns might be the worst team ever. [table id=5 /]

Yeasayer – Amen & Goodbye (2016)

Yeasayer has been one of those bands that you find and you continue to wonder how their fan base never grows any bigger. They have infectious pop songs and crazy world music-infused rock electronic. They've done straight rock and reduced synthetic sounds, while maintaining a consistent originality that is hard to find these days. I saw them in a little club in 2010 and…

NFL Power Rankings Week 11

Look at those Cleveland Browns, giving the 2008 Lions a run for their money. Whats going on in Green Bay? Theyve lost 4 of their last 5 games.       [table id=4 /]

NFL Mid Season Picks

We are half way through the season. Lets see how my early season picks are holding up. AFC East: Patriots (7-2) Not only are the Pats looking incredible, but no one else wants to do any winning. Additionally, they probably have the easiest remaining schedule in the East. North: Steelers (4-5) I never get this division right. Right now, the only thing I can…
