Ok I admit it, I’m really getting hooked on this show. Tonight’s 2hr season finale was especially good. A lot of things were revealed, but as usual, with each new revelation comes at least as many new questions. For example, the “hatch” was shown to have a “real” purpose which also explains the magnetic wall and the plane crash. However, if it’s real, why did the tape at the “pearl” describe it as a psychological experiment? I’m also intrigued by the revelation, at the end, of Penny’s involvement, or at a minimum knowledge to some degree of the magnetic disturbances of the hatch. This is something that occurred to me after the show:

“The Others” may be a group opposed to the Dharma Initiative and may have attacked them at some point in the past. (seeing the ID of the man Sayeed found buried at the balloon site might help here..) I’ve also considered the possibility that they may be the last remaining members of the original team.

There’s nothing like a good mystery…

Granted, I haven’t read the book, but I thought The DaVinci Code was a great movie. If I had to give it a rating on the usual 5-star system I’d probably give it 4 stars. Perhaps not reading the book has allowed me to be a bit more unbiased towards the movie? When I saw the horrible reviews the film was getting, I almost couldn’t believe it. I can’t remember ever seeing a Ron Howard film I didn’t like, so I thought I’d give it a shot. The film does a good job of presenting the story without demonizing the church. There are only 2, maybe 3 truly evil characters in the film. Obviously (to anyone who has read the book) the albino monk, as well as his boss at Opus Dei and a shadowy character know as the Teacher. Overall, I thought all of the actors played their roles extremely well. So, if you have an open mind, check it out and I’m sure you won’t be disapointed. And even if you don’t, it’s just a movie folks!

Zap2it.com – Movie review – Doom

Like many people my age, I have a love for the original DooM game. While Wolfenstein 3D kick-started the first-person shooter genre, DooM was the first truly immersive game of it’s type.

The DooM story line has real potential, and could’ve had in the hands of good writers and directors. However that was not to be. As one of my friends commented, the Universal logo around an image of Mars is probably the best part of the movie. Do yourself a favor and wait until this is on TV. Don’t worry, it won’t be long.
