I have to admit the Kung Fu Panda took me be surprise when I first saw it. It was a typical story of a complete underdog who must overcome obstacles, kind of like Rocky and The Karate Kid. The only difference is that it is done with a computer-generated panda in an interesting and fantastical anthropomorphic world. The issue with the first film is that it was self-aware. … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Kung Fu Panda 3
Pelican Protector Case for the iPhone 7
Well, we had a chance to review yet another Pelican product, which is in addition to the Voyager case that we reviewed the other day. I've already talked about how Pelican makes some very interesting products that are very durable, and trusted since 1976. So, it has all the drop resistance, shock protection, as well as the non-slip grip. What is interesting is how this … [Read more...] about Pelican Protector Case for the iPhone 7
Pelican Voyager Cell Phone Case for the iPhone 7
Considering that it is essentially iPhone 7 season, that means that I am going to be reviewing a lot of the accessories associated with it. There is one company that I am familiar with when it comes to hard cases, and that is Pelican, and here is the last product that I reviewed for the iPhone 6. To say that Pelican cases are a bit of a hard case is underselling it, as it … [Read more...] about Pelican Voyager Cell Phone Case for the iPhone 7
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Mockingjay, Part 2
I probably should have reviewed this film a while ago, like right after it first came out. Most of you who are familiar with my Speculative Fiction Saturday stories know that I don't often report on films as they come out, but occasionally, I do. I usually feel a need to do some sort of plot synopsis or something, but honestly, just read my reviews of The Hunger Games, … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Mockingjay, Part 2
TiVo Bolt + Has more Tuners and More Memory
Okay, I have had a great time reviewing the TiVo Bolt, and now there is a TiVo Bolt +, or Plus. It has six tuners (the ability to record six shows at once) and three terabytes of recording capacity (up to 450 hours). Now, I don't know about the tuners part in comparison to the old version, but my Bolt only has 1 TB. Just to compare, the TiVo Bolt + has the same … [Read more...] about TiVo Bolt + Has more Tuners and More Memory
Patchworks New Screen Protectors and Cases for iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and Samsung Galaxy Note 7
Okay, it has been a while since I reviewed a Patchworks product, or any product whatsoever. Patchworks has put out some really great screen protectors, and you can read about them here. Oh, there are also some great cases too that you can read about here. I will start with the screen protectors. I suppose that I don't really have to explain what a screen protector is, … [Read more...] about Patchworks New Screen Protectors and Cases for iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and Samsung Galaxy Note 7
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Millennium Actress
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
Stephen King’s ‘It’ and ‘The Dark Tower’ Release Dates and News
It looks like 2017 is going to be the year of Stephen King adaptations. Considering that the horror author has had many done in his name with some good and some bad, it looks like some of his best and well-known works are going to made into films. 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
