Fourth Kind Movie Review

The Fourth Kind, starring Milla Jovovich as Dr. Abigail Tyler, opens this week and has a viewers wanting to believe. The Universal release opens with Jovovich giving a P.S.A. ala Hitchcock, or Vincent Price, and then goes on to follow Abigail as she tries to find out what exactly is going on in Nome, Alaska where her patients are suffering from sleep disorder while all "seeing" the same owl.

Once Dr. Tyler starts putting her patience under hypnosis, it's obvious that it's not an owl watching the people of Nome.

There are a lot of very intense scenes in this movie, and I can not say enough about the cinematography and score for this movie. I've never wanted more in my life to travel 3,300 mile to see mountains and forest. Lorenzo Senaatore (Director of Photography) shows how a city can be so beautiful, and isolating at the same time.

The footage from Dr. Tylers hypnosis studies are scary. 

But the acting leaves more than just a little to be desired. I can see how it would be hard for an actor to try and portray a character, and sync up their cadence and actions of another person during the split screen scenes.

Rating 7.5/10

It's really hard to get into detail about this movie without throwing out a couple of spoilers. So keep reading if you'd like to see what I really think about The Fourth Kind. I make an idiot out of myself...

Droid Review. Is it the iPhone Killer?

Verizon is hoping to topple Steve Jobs and his iPhone with the latest phone to hit the market The Droid.


Now I just picked this phone up earlier today, but I can already tell you this phone has a lot going for it.

The one feature which stands out the most for me is the screen. I always had trouble reading the screens off other phones, but the combonation of the Droid’s slightly larger screen, and its higher resolution, I can actually read web pages in their standard zoom.

While the screen was a pleasant surprise, the full QWERTY keyboard was the selling point for me. I’ve always have had trouble with the full touch phones, and the slide out keyboard works great, although sometimes the sliding feels a bit clunky.

The Droid also comes with a 16GB flash card. I’m dropping some tracks onto my player right now.

It also supports a 5 megapixel camera which I’ve already have been playing around with.

Is it the end all to be all when it comes to the cell phone game? No. Not even close. And with the iPhone 4G rumored to be debuting, I don’t think the Droid will be atop the cell phone hill for long, if at all.

I’ll have a full review for you later next week after I get some more time to play around with it.

Raditude Review

Ratitude drops today. And Weezer's seventh album boast their most studio refined album yet; to the point of over doing it. The album jacket list five different producers, and another seven additional musicians. Most notable, Lil Wayne on the discs most annoying song "I Can't Stop Partying".

None of the songs really stand out. They all seem to blur together as most pop albums tend to do. I can already picture most of these songs blasting during the lame montage of every coming of age teen comedy next summer.

I do have to give credit when credit is due. Weezer has never been a band to make the same album twice. Each time they seem like something new, it's just this time, i wish it was something old.

The bottom line: if you like Beverly Hills, pick this up and enjoy it. If you like Pinkerton, skip this disc and wipe the tear from behind your black rimmed glasses.

Rating:5/10

At least the boys still have a sense of humor:
