I thought it was a very good translation of the first book. The first book is full of Katnis’ inner dialog and descriptions of the fashion choices made by other characters. While we can see the fashions we have to infer much about her relationship with Peeta.…

In an attempt to save $100 I opted for the least expensive 16GB iPad. This size has served me well in the past. With iCloud and DropBox, who needs more. I do. The crux of the problem for me is PhotoStream.…

Apple has a nice feature of iCloud that allows you to find your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, or Macintosh on a Map if it is lost or stolen called “Find My Phone”. But what if you lose your iPhone and have not set this up in advance?…

The new movie Chronicle takes the ‘found footage’ meme to a new level mixing it with a superhero genesis story. The story follows three high school kids as they learn that they have telekinesis but still have to go to class.…

A fun movie, once you get over the fact that this movie has very little to do with Dumas’ characters, historical accuracy, or the laws of physics. This movie is to Musketeer films what Resident Evil is to zombie films.
Owen Wilson in a Woody Allen film? I know, but it works.

I really wanted this movie to be so much more. Think it will stand up to a second watch well.
‘Enjoy’ is the wrong word. It was a really good movie.
