Movie Review

    Hey, everyone. My wife and I got out of the woods for a while today. We dined out and then went to a movie. We saw a movie called The American, with George Clooney. I had read some reviews on it a few weeks ago. The reviews were negative and guess what? They were wrong. We both liked it. Both of us gave it a 4 stars out of 5. It was really good. George Clooney plays an assassin who's dissatisfied with his work. He has several people who want to kill him and he has no idea who he can trust. As an added worry he falls in love with a rather lovely prostitute who may or may not be a friend.
    There was very little music with the movie and I found this quite relaxing as it enabled me to focus more fully on the plot. It seemed like the movie intentionally turned away from the use of a formula which is used to reap the maximum dollars. I can identify with this because it is my style as well.(as a writer)
  For all you Ipad folks, I have a couple of web sites you might like. Just Another ipad Blog and ipad.net. These are not my sites, okay? I just ran across them.
    Changing subjects yet again I'd like to mention some blog nuances which you may be more aware of than I. Although I have no idea where my readers are from specifically, nor do I want to know, Google gives bloggers a stats tool which tells them stuff like which countries have the most hits on your blog. Very cool. I did not even know about this until a few nights ago. When I started looking this over I noticed viewers in China, India, Russia, Australia, all over the world, really. This surprised me a bit because I am a non-techie and I still underestimate this internet thing. At the risk of sounding like that mouse down in Orlando, it's a small world after all.

Shadowgun: Killing The Windbreaker

    Hey, everyone. I thought it might be a good time for a bit of an update on the riveting game called Shadowgun. Consider this your spoiler alert and tune out if you want to.     Once you get past the dreaded Driller, things get better but you are certainly not out of the woods. You will want to make sure you keep a full clip in your gun as you stroll through the realm of the evil and crazy Dr. Simon. But hey, you're John Slade, the Shadowgun, and wherever you set your foot is the place to which your authority extends.      I love the way that some of the barriers disintegrate under the impact of bullets. I didn't learn this at my mother's knee but I darn sure know it now. I have learned that there are certain places it is good to plan on using the rocket launcher. Keep your stock of those filled. There are these transporter guys who are aggressive punks. The only way they respect you is if you kill them, so that's the way I roll. As you know by now, their strategy

Shadowgun: Crushing The Driller On Level 4

      Hey, everyone. Let's talk about the game called Shadowgun, the I-Pad game with which I have a love-hate relationship. Most of you who made it past the evil Cyber Lobster are doubtless locked in a death struggle with the Driller at the end of level 4. At this point you have been in the cave for a long time. The Driller breaks through the rock wall and chases you through the tunnel as you try to shoot out the green lights which slows the Driller down. If you are slick enough to shoot out all the lights and emerge from the cave, a rolling door crashes on the Driller and crushes his aggravating carcass. I have tried and failed to beat the Driller at least 250 times. I hate the Driller to the heights and depths my soul can reach. I hate it like a plague. I hate it with intensity of feeling. I hate it like a rich man hates taxes. Excuse me, I got carried away.       We had a big dinner here at the green retreat and my friend Trevor was here today. He is my gaming consultant. I tol

Men In Black 3, Just Empty Black Suits?

    Hey, everyone, out there in the world! Nice of you to stop by. Today I downloaded Men In Black 3 for I-Pad. There were a number of positive reviews on the app store, but there were several reviews that complained about the game failing to open. This was my experience. It opened to the screen shown above and froze there. At least it was free. I have an I-Pad 3, so maybe you will have better luck with yours.     EA games is having a big sale for the holiday weekend. I already have most of the titles which are on sale, however. I did buy several games this weekend, though, and I'd like to tell you about them.    Get Out of My Galaxy is a Mario type of space game in which you control a monster with 4 arms. The dude eats rocks and has a penchant for slapping little cone-headed aliens. There are a certain number of aliens to slap on every planet, then you move on to the next world. There are power-ups to grab as you go along, for health and other things. There is prickly vegetatio
