Number One At The Boxoffice: Scary Movie Three
Mood:

party time!
While many audiences may feel sequelled to death, the present take-off on thriller movies dominates at the boxoffice despite what the critics say.

In thriller/horror films there may reside dark humor, which can exploited in the original pictures or in a spoofs like the Scary Movie series.
Cheap thrills often lead to cheap laughs which can result in big office receipts.

Movie Review 52: Call Me Claus
Mood:

quizzical
It wasn't Whoopi Golberg as Santa Claus that bothered me in this one. It was the fact that the story line was a mishmash of other Santa Claus movies like "The Santa Clause" and "Nick Of Time." Added to the mix was the Christmas songtrack/promotion of executive producer, Garth Brooks. The original movies all get at least three stars, but this cover version gets only two.

Movie Review 51: Far From Heaven
Julianne Moore and the rest of the cast give fine performances in this one, but it can't compensate for the superficial handling of homosexuality and interracial relationships in the late 50s. Going along with racial prejudice or closet homosexuality was depressing in the 50s but it helped create the changes in the 60s. "Far from Heaven" seems too passive in accepting the status quo. Two and a half stars.

New Page View Record
Mood:

happy
Over the last month, our websites have set a new page view record of 15108. That's about 500 page views a day. I think that's pretty good for a non-porn site. Thank you for visiting our webpages. May the mysteries of Hotel California/Area 53 become clear to you one day.

Have a few cartoons on me.

Turn Your Radio On
Mood:

bright
Digital TV, radio and the internet may give us more access to information, music and movies than ever before, but it certainly doesn't connect us up with the spirit world.

Unfortunately, our physical body can only receive certain vibrational frequencies on earth. Even certain sounds are beyond our ability to hear them. Throughout the ages, spiritual travelers have developed their "mystical senses" to perceive God, the spirit world or the afterlife. Because these senses are anything but perfect in a human body, the perception of the supernatural and the paranormal can vary greatly from person to person.

Using the analogy of a radio, the physical senses could be considered the AM band and "the mystical senses of the soul" the FM band.

In the song, "Turn Your Radio On", the author is not talking about a physical electronic gadget. We all have our inner spiritual receiver, but we all don't tune into the same station.

Seen A Dentist Lately?
Mood:

don't ask
I have. I've just finished a rather painless root canal. It's relatively painless in the pocket book as well because both my plan and the wife's cover this procedure at 80%.

Unfortunately, I need two crowns which is only covered by my plan at 70%. Crowns in Canada can run over $2000 each. Getting both next year could "crown me" for $1800 and that is the biggest pain in dentistry these days.

Does anyone know a cheap dentist in the Toronto area that is good too? My dentist is the implant king of Ontario(Dr. Mark Kochman). He farms out work like "fillings" and "root canals" to junior dentists.

Saving The Memories Of A Lifetime
Back in the old days, memories were saved in letters, diaries, photos, collectibles, and favourite songs. Now letters and diaries have been replaced by e-mails and blogs, photos by jpegs and favourite songs by mp3 files. Even collectibles have found their place on internet auction sites like ebay. The ability to compress data into tiny units like bits and bytes has opened the door to "computerized memory salvation".
Perhaps, our whole lifetime can be downloaded into the memory banks of a super computer. Maybe it's here already.
We have been waiting for you Mr. Doe. Let us begin "The Procedure".

Number One At The Boxoffice: Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Mood:

loud
With the lack of original thrillers on the horizon, even yesterday's movie junkfood seems to look good. The cheap thrills in the first film seem to be even cheaper in the remake.(Read the reviews below.) We're getting closer to Halloween and I guess ole' Leatherface still scares teenage audiences with his chainsaw.
