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.

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...

To Kill A Lobster (Shadowgun)

    Hey, everyone. I had not planned on posting tonight but I have to make something right. I gave Shadowgun a good review last night but I didn't do it justice. Tonight I got past the vicious Cyber Lobster and went on to play a lot more. This is a terrific game! Last night I would have rated it 4 stars out of 5. Tonight I give it 5 stars out of 5. By the way, here's a spoiler alert. If you don't want to know how to kill the lobster, don't read any further. I say this because I had several people come to the blog that were looking for the silver bullet ( figure of speech from old Dracula movies, not literal weapon for lobster) to kill this behemoth.      When the monster appears, he starts firing missiles at you out of his mechanical mouth. Don't run and hide behind a barrier. Get close to him and run back and forth, dodging missiles until you can blast the lime colored ball of light that appears periodically over his head. I suspect that this is hi...

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 ...
