I had really low expectations of this movie, now available on DVD. Based on that, it was better than I expected. Resident Evil is based on a video game with the same name. The commercials made it look more bloody than it actually was.…

Just bought the sequel to Blade. We enjoyed the first one but never got to the theater to see the sequel. The first movie had a lot of action and some gore. The second one promised more. It’s like a cross between Matrix, Aliens and every other Vampire movie.…

I just rented John Q on DVD. I went into it with an open mind. Denzel Washington plays John who is down on his luck but a hard worker. His son is suddenly diagnosed with a failing heart. He does everything right by the system but the system is against him.…

I just rented Queen of the Damned, based on the novel by Anne Rice and sequel to Interview with the Vampire (1994). None of the actors are the same. There’s no Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Christian Slater, or Antonio Banderas. Some of the same characters are played by younger actors which makes sense since they are Vampires and vampires don’t age.…

However, in the first 5 minutes, I was hooked.…

We Were Soldiers just came out on DVD. When it was in the theater, I heard a review that it was the best Vietnam movie ever. I don’t know that I can agree with that summary. To call this a Vietnam movie, doesn’t do it justice.…

Tammy & I just got back from watching Signs. I went into it expecting a movie like “Sixth Sense” with a major twist at the end. The really wasn’t a major twist. It was more like “Unbreakable” where the whole movie just works together toward a solution like a big jigsaw puzzle.…

Why is it that there are so many years between our family reunions? Is it because of the distance? The cost?
Dianne’s family has a family reunion every year in Oklahoma. It’s not too fancy, but it’s nice. It’s at a state park, near a big lake, and it’s cheap!…

The Blue Hole is reputed as one of the best dives in Guam. It is located on the southern coast of Guam. I picked a night dive to go there. The hole is just that, it’s a natural limeston vertical shaft going down into the reef on the side of a sheer cliff.…
