Mar’s Top 5…Stand-Up Comics

Here is another awesome Top 5 List. This week I am making a list of my top 5 favorite stand-up comics. This is another one of those things that will change every now and then depending on what mental state I am in at the time. But I tried to do my best to make this one accurate. So lets go…

New Shoes

Well if you can see this … you’ll probably notice things look a little different around here.  Yep we spruced up the place just for you.  This is still not quite finished but it’s in the “gold” stage.  There will proabaly be some “bug” fixes and new features as we go along.  But for now here it is.  Any comments or thoughts feel free to leave them.

Mar’s Top 5…Books

It’s time again for another excellent Top 5 list. This week I am doing my Top 5 books of all time. This list was a little tough because my favorite books tend to change depending on what I am reading at the time or what I’m into at the time. But I think this is pretty close to what my ALL time favorites are. So here it is… (more…)

Mar’s Top 5…Action Movies

Candy?

It’s that time again for another awesome TOP 5 list. Can you feel the excitement?! This week was a tough one. A lot of pain and suffering deciding which ones to put in the top 5, but here it is ,for better or worse, my top 5 action movies of all time. These are the action movies I can’t get enough of.

Quick Blurb from Cade #2

Here’s a bit of advice for people planning to write movie reviews. This is not directed at people of this site, but to ALL movie reviewers.

DO NOT PUT PLOT SPOILERS IN YOUR REVIEW’S FRIGGIN’ TITLE!!!

I was perusing one of my favorite internet haunts, somethingawful.com, and noticed a review on M. Night Shyamalan’s new film, The Happening. What instantly set me off was that the twist ending that Shyamalan is known for was in the title of the review! What idiot thought that was a good idea!?

It would have been like walking out of the movie theatre, on opening day, of The Empire Strikes Back, and shouting, “Darth Vader is Luke’s father!? Never saw that coming!” Or, coming out of The Crying Game and yelling, “She’s a man!” Only this is worse, since the twist is the point of a Shyamalan film. Also, if you didn’t know about the above plot points, sorry I spoiled them, but kudos for going this whole time without knowing them.

Now, I’m not sure I want to see the movie. Something Awful has ruined it for me! Thanks, you schmucks!

Mar’s Top 5…something or other

They\'re heading this way!!!

So here I am again (3 times in one week, mind blowing I know!). I have decided that once a week, or once every other week, or whenever the hell I feel like it I will post a top 5 list. Why, you ask? Because I like listing things in groups of 5, that’s why. SOOOO, here I go…

Mar’s Corner: 80’s Michael Keaton and VHS Tapes

So I was watching the 80’s classic “Gung Ho” the other night and I realized the Hollywood land scape is missing something. 80’s Michael Keaton! Now I know what you are thinking, “Mar, you crazy!”, and to that I say ”FOR SHAME!”.  (more…)

Mar’s Rating system

So it was suggested that I explain my rating system (I actually meant to and forgot so thanks for the reminder Gamin). Basically I really love Arizona Green Tea. That is my drink of choice. So rather than giving something a star rating (I prefer star ratings over grade ratings) I just replace the star with Arizona Green Tea (the bottles not those wimpy 99 cent cans). Anyway that is basically it. I may change my rating system to something more complex like candy bars or prize fighters but for now I’m sticking with Arizona Green Tea.

Stop. Move. Animtaion!

Having long been an appreciator of the fine art of stop motion animation I recently came into possession of iStopMotion a simple and fun application for making animated films. In order to understand it better I did what any geek worth his twenty sided die would do, I turned to the internet.
