Movie Review: Chloe

    Hey, everyone. Liam Neeson is one of my favorite actors. so when I saw a Netflix title with him as the star and the talented Julianne Moore as co-star, I decided to try it. Liam plays David, a college professor who likes to flirt with young women, much to the chagrin of his attractive wife, Catherine. Catherine is a middle-aged Doctor. May I say right here to any producer that may be reading the blog, guys have zero interest in watching any sort of medical exam, okay? Anyway, Catherine is tired of David's wandering eye and decides to test him. She does this by hiring an attractive young escort to flirt with the poor, unsuspecting David and see if he is indeed a philanderer or a philanthropist. Ha, ha.
     Well, gee, you knew that things were going to go south, and they do. What you didn't know is just how far south they would go. There are a few surprises and a few "oh, wow" moments. The escort takes things a bit too far and has aspirations to be a narrator of sorts. Then the lady Doctor becomes somewhat infatuated with her new employee. Then the lady doctor's grown son meets the lovely Chloe (the escort), played skilfully by Amanda Seyfried. At this point you are saying, "This dude has ruined the movie by telling me all the twists". Nooooo.
    Needless to say, this is rated 'R' and I had difficulty keeping the review in the 'G' spectrum. If you could skip the first 10 minutes I would rate it 4 stars out of 5. Since I didn't, I rate it as 3.5 stars out of 5. Hope you like it.

Movie Review: Limitless

    Hey, everyone. I ventured off the mountain today, down into the haunts of men. I'll tell you about a movie I saw, then later I'll tell you about some other stuff. The movie is Unlimited . This is a story that you would have to call science fiction, but in the not so distant future you may call it reality.      Bradley Cooper plays Edward Morra. If you looked up loser in the dictionary you would see this guy's picture. He has freeloaded off his girlfriend for years. He claims to be a writer but can't seem to put words on paper. His woman leaves him; he is a scroungy, dirty dude with no future, no drive and no money. He is about to be evicted from his scummy apartment.     Then he bumps into an old friend. The friend wants him to try a new drug which comes in the form of a small, clear pill. What Edward doesn't know is that the pill is pretty awesome. The drug is designed to unlock the true potential of the human brain. We only use a...

It's So Easy

     Hey, everyone, out there in etherland. I've been playing some new songs this morning on my keyboard. You may remember a Buddy Holly tune called It's So Easy . I hadn't matched the title to the song before today so I was delighted when I saw that it was the one that goes like this: "It's so easy to fall in love, it's so easy to fall in love." It rocks pretty good. A later version of it, after amps and guitars had improved, really rocked. It seems like Joan Jett may have done a version. Anyway, I was playing this song and I thought about a fun thing I like to do. Sometimes I'll start to play a song and tell Carley, or the grandkids, whoever may be there, a silly story about it.      For instance, I would say that once upon a time Buddy Holly came to me and said, "CE, I need a hit, my man. The kids need shoes. I want to go on American bandstand, you know what I'm saying?"     "Yeah, Buddy, I hear you. But the thing is, I think ...

Dr. Simon's Exoskeleton (Shadowgun)

    Hey, everyone. Nice to be back with you after a tough, hectic week. We have had some snow, sleet, fog, drizzle, torrential rain and flooding this week.      I'd like to talk, yet again, about Shadowgun , the shooter game for I-Padster. I was much further along than what I thought when I posted about some of the battles yet to be faced for those of you who had just killed the Driller. The fact is that I am on the last level. This level has Dr. Simon, the resident evil nutcase, inhabiting a monstrous, powerful robot. His brain resides in a bubble on top, much like a cherry on a hot fudge Sunday. (Yes, I am still on my eating binge) It is a tremendous fight because you not only have to kill this huge semi-person, but there are a bunch of mutant guards, flying drones etc. to deal with at the same time. I had played the darn level about thirty times and decided to check out someone else's battle. So I went to You-Tube and typed in, Dr. Simon Exoskelet...
