Paranormal Activity Movie BAD For Motion Sickness

We went to Paranormal Activity movie a couple of days back and I must say I have had the worst experience. I read so much about the film and it was reviewed highly on various film review websites (including Rotten Tomatoes) and because my wife loves horror movies decided to give it a go.

Bottle Shock DVD Review

Vinters, hold on to your wine glasses. Bottle Shock, which is based on a true story, is an informative, entertaining and slightly long-winded film about the Judgment of Paris, a 1976 tasting competition between the finest French wines (long-thought to be the best in the world) and California’s Napa Valley crop.

Blindness DVD Review

What if people started going inexplicably blind? That is the question posed in the film Blindness, and lets just say the answer is disturbing, frightening and, quite possibly, true.

The first person struck by the blindness is a Japanese man (Yusuke Iseya), who says its “like all the lights have been switched on at once, creating an expanse of white where the world used to be – like swimming in milk.” He is patient zero, and from there, the infection spreads to the people that were at the optometrist’s office he visited, and so on, and so on. The optometrist (Mark Ruffalo) is struck blind and taken into a government quarantine, and his wife (Julianne Moore) goes with him, even though she can still see (she pretends to be blind as well when she picks up on the fact that if she doesn’t, the government wont let her stay with him).

The doctors patients are soon brought in as well, including a prostitute (Alice Braga of I Am Legend), a little boy (Mitchell Nye), and a man with an eye patch (Danny Glover of Be Kind Rewind, and Dreamgirls). Doctor tries to maintain order, and at first they forge a decent existence under the circumstances.

To buy or not buy a MacBook Pro now

As mentioned in several of my previous posts, my HP Pavilion DV2000 died after over heating and the motherboard was burned. I was tempted to get a 15inch MacBook Pro immediately but after a little bit of research realized that perhaps it is better to wait till January or February of 2010 and I will tell you why.

Flipboard is an awesome app on the iPad

Ever since I bought my iPad, I have not been using it much except for some casual browsing and my daily dose of morning tech rss feeds via.

The main issue is that since iOS4 is not available on iPad yet, I would have to close and switch between numerous apps to get to the social media outlets that I frequent such as Facebook, Twitter, Techcrunch etc.

But with the new app Fliboard, all my favourite feeds are in place in a slick magazine style format!!

If you are on the iPad, I would seriously suggest getting this free app!!
