300--This is one movie I wish I've been able to watch on IMAX and have all those hard rippling bodies wash over me. Now that I've bought the DVD, I wish I had a 50" plasma screen at home where I can see it in all its glory over and over again. Oh well, if wishes were horses, then those Spartans would be hung-like-wishes.

The Simpsons Movie--That was the most fun I've had watching a flick in a long, long time. It was practically a-laugh-a-minute. They pulled out all the stops and kept things rolling along right up until the end where you'll appreciate just how talented Dan Castellaneta, Harry Shearer, Hank Azaria and the rest of the vocal cast really are in this 18-year-old cultural phenomenon.

Happy 5th Anniversary! New contributors: Allen Giffen, Iainlthr and Kyle Leach

For this forthcoming fortnight, I'll be celebrating my site's fifth anniversary. I'd like to thank Pride Sites for their excellent support and service, and--I know I keep saying this because it can never be said enough--I'd like to thank those who send feedback to the contributors without whose works this site wouldn't be as fun to visit. (Heck, it's not like I've done anything new myself lately.)

Stories I'm Re-reading: Please welcome 3 of my favorite authors--Allen Giffen, Iainlthr, and Kyle Leach--into the fold.

Yippee ki-yay mother-daughter--For many years until my betamax copy gave up, watching Die Hard had been part of my Christmas tradition, and now thanks to my revitalized interest, I just might start it all over again if I can find a DVD of it and possibly of Die Hard 2. (I didn't take to Die Hard 3 too well so I'll skip that.) Bruce Wilis plays a world-weary and weathered John McClaine and pairs up with a youthful every-geek Justin "I'm a Mac" Long (whom I liked best in Galaxy Quest) against Timothy Olyphant whose distractingly handsome countenance was too reminiscent of Ryan Seacrest's. All in all, it was two hours of brainless, almost mind-numbing, explosive fun. Salon

Robots in the skies--Growing up as a Transformers fanboy (I owned a bunch of 'em starting with a couple of Diaclones and even drew a comic book starring my own rip-offs, I mean, homages), I was very wary of director Michael Bay pissing all over my childhood with all the changes he put in (he retained the voice of Optimus Prime, to his credit), but I came out rather enjoying this frenetic kinetic flick unapologetic about its summer blockbuster-ness. Shia LaBeouf provided the heart and hearty laughs, and ILM delivered some CG-eye-popping animation. I just had problems with the robot designs being on the flimsy side and the camera jerking around like crazy during the action sequences. Now to see if I can get myself a DVD of Transformers: The Movie or should I say, still the movie.
