Questionable Material?

So I have had trouble coming to terms with this and I think its time for a confession. I don't deny it and I'm not going to hide it anymore. I have been looking at questionable material lately... Questionable in the sense that I know there will be a lot of you that don't approve with what it is I've been looking at but I don't care. I like it and I don't see the big deal. Pages upon pages of ink filled paper have been flying through my fingers and when I get done with one, I have to start on another! Its true! It is very addicting...

























I'm talking about reading the twilight series of course... What were you thinking?

Why is it wrong for a guy to read them? And to all the guys out there, why are you afraid to read them? So there's a bit of romance involved in the books. That hasn't stopped you guys from watching the Princess Bride has it? Or Top Gun? Don't get me wrong, I am not putting these books on the same level as those movies but the point I'm trying to make is that you've sat through a lot worse movies with dates, girlfriends and wives than these books will put you through. Books are a great form of entertainment and they broaden your mind and help you out in so many ways! If you find a good book, READ IT! And don't worry about what people think about you reading a book like Twilight. There's tons of guys out there that read it. Just not as many that will admit to it.

Book Review/plug for a friend

So this review is coming a little late in that I read the book about 6 months ago. None the less I feel that it is my obligation to post a review for this book seeings how a friend of mine wrote it!

Monster Hunter International is a great read! Until recently (about 7 months ago) I was an unrealized fan of monster everything. I had watched a couple zombie movies like Shaun of the Dead and your Resident Evils and indulged in the occasional Vampire flick like Blade or Underworld but never considered myself more than a casual fan. Then there was Larry's book... I'll be honest Larry, if you read this, I bought your book to support you in your writing endeavors. I hadn't really planned on reading the book and once I started reading the book I didn't think I'd enjoy it. I was stupid! After I finished reading it (two days) I realized I should have bought another copy! Now you can't find them anywhere because it was picked up by a major publisher and won't be re-released until sometime later I'm not sure when. Enough small talk though just read the sample chapter from Larry's Blog and I think you might become a fan as well. The book has everything! Guns, monsters, great one liners, a bit of religious superstition and the right amount of romance to intrigue any man and I hope satisfy the lady folks. Give it a read although you won't be able to find a copy to buy for a while I'll loan you mine with a $20 security deposit! Check out his blog too, he's got some great political rants and you're sure to always find something funny to read!

Movie Reviews

I think I'm going to start tossing up some Reviews of stuff that I come across i.e. books, movies, video games, etc... So to kick it off...

"Here... we... Go!!!"


Please don't tell me that you haven't seen this movie... In my opinion this is one of, if not the best movie in the 2008 Season. My friend Tyler described the movie as being very "dark" and to tell you the truth I don't know any better word for it than Dark. It makes sense then that they would call in "The Dark Knight". The general feeling I got throughout the entire movie was that there wasn't going to be a happy ending. Even when it ends, it isn't a happy one but it is an ending that is very appropriate. I would strongly advise seeing the movie again if you've only seen it once. My second time to see it was just as good as the first, if not better! I picked up on subtle hints that I missed the first time around and still wasn't able to figure out where the pencil went! If you think it was the eye or the forehead please let me know! The best Batman Movie there is. Heath Ledger is the greatest Joker even better than Jack Nicholson in my opinion. I think he deserves an Oscar for how well he did.
