I would appear that I am celebrating the anime extravaganzas of Satoshi Kon, and this time it is Millennium Actress. I'll go ahead and get this out of the way and say that it is very similar to Perfect Blue, in that I'm not really certain what is reality when I watch this movie. This is kind of why I like watching Kon's films, because they are deliberately disjointed to … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Millennium Actress

No Man’s Sky is an Apparent Disappointment
If you are not familiar with No Man's Sky, it was one of the most anticipated games of the year. It isn't every day where someone comes out with a game where the viewer can explore about 18 qunintillion worlds. Seriously, there is no way that you can do that in your own lifetime. Is it too good to be true? Apparently, it is. As you can see from the Angry Joe review that … [Read more...] about No Man’s Sky is an Apparent Disappointment
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Perfect Blue
Okay, I often don't review anime, and I can't say that Perfect Blue is speculative fiction. However, this is one film that is just so very interesting that I have to write about it. Perfect Blue was directed by Satoshi Kon, who passed away in 2010, and left behind many great animated films. I haven't seen them all, but I remember seeing Paprika many years ago and still … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Perfect Blue

It looks like 2017 is going to be the year of Stephen King adaptations.

The first that is coming is The Dark Tower with Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey, and it is a planned trilogy that will be quite … [Read more...] about Stephen King’s ‘It’ and ‘The Dark Tower’ Release Dates and News
Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Little Prince
I don't know how many people have heard of Antoine de Saint-Exupery's most famous work of The Little Prince before, but this film, which was made overseas and adopted by Netflix, is going to put it on the map. It certainly will get people to read translations of the famous French work, but the might be surprised that it is nothing like this adaptation. The most obvious … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Little Prince
Our Review of the Game “Bear With Me”
Well, here's another game review, and this Bear With Me game is quite unusual. The gameplay isn't really original, as it is a typical RPG game, where you are wandering around a certain place, picking up items, interacting with characters, but the setting is what makes this unique. Bear With Me takes place in a very film noir world. If you aren't familiar with that style, … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Game “Bear With Me”
TiVo Roamio OTA DVR
I've had a fun time reviewing TiVo products, with my review of the TiVo Bolt, and it has changed the way that I watch TV. It is high time for my review of the TiVo Roamio OTA DVR, which is made for those who want to experience the TiVo experience on antenna TV. Now, I am not familiar with an HD antenna, but it is apparently a thing. For those who have been using the HD … [Read more...] about TiVo Roamio OTA DVR
Active Edge Survival Straps: Regular Survival Bracelet, Fish Tail
We have reported on Active Edge stuff before, such as the shirt that can make you healthier. Apparently, Active Edge makes these Survival Straps bracelets made of paracord. If you haven't heard of paracord, then you must be missing out. Seriously, there is some kind of fad on paracord, so if you ever are in a mess, you can just pull some paracord off your bracelet and … [Read more...] about Active Edge Survival Straps: Regular Survival Bracelet, Fish Tail
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Robot Overlords
Okay, I'm not certain why I have never heard of a film known as Robot Overlords, but what do you think a film like that would be about? If you said that a bunch of robots take over, you would be right! If you are wondering why you have never heard of this film, I am guessing it is because it probably didn't have a big release. That's actually too bad, because this film … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Robot Overlords
Video Game Review of “Road to Ballhalla”
Just to let you know, Road to Ballhalla is an interesting game, but I'm not certain how to describe this. In fact, I didn't even really know what screen shot to use. Just to let you know, in the screenshot that you see here, you are the smaller ball. This is one of those games where you are some kind of ball, marble, or other rolling object, and then go through an … [Read more...] about Video Game Review of “Road to Ballhalla”
Our Review of the Clean Router, Read the Review of What it Does!
Okay, this is our review of the Clean Router, and this is what it does: it Blocks Porn. Yep, that is the official tagline, and I'm going to talk about how this works. I noticed that most houses have a router these days, and this one is for free! Okay, you will have to pay $9.99 for the basic package, and then you will have to pay for the monthly service. Just to let … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Clean Router, Read the Review of What it Does!
Lander Brenner MacBook Sleeve for MacBook Pro 15-inch
Well, we have reviewed Lander products before, as they have that black iPhone case that looks like the bottom of a plastic raft. Now, I had a chance to review the Lander Brenner MacBook Sleeve for MacBook Pro 15-inch. This particular case for the MacBook has one of those Magnetic clasps, and it can give your MacBook some "weather resistant" powers. Yeah, I'm not certain … [Read more...] about Lander Brenner MacBook Sleeve for MacBook Pro 15-inch
Kensington SD 1500 USB Type-C Mobile Dock
I got to love what Kensington is doing, and here is another product that has come out just in time for back-to-school. I have to admit, I don't really have a need for this, but I'm guessing that a lot of notebooks have a spare Type-C port. The Kensington SD1500 USB Type-C Mobile Dock is made to connect your notebook's USB Type-C port in order to provide with VGA, 4K HDMI, … [Read more...] about Kensington SD 1500 USB Type-C Mobile Dock
