For all the things Apple has done right regarding ease of use, this one ain’t one of them. I rented a movie from iTunes and the huge HD file eventually downloaded. That part was easy. Now, how do I view this movie on my synchronized AppleTV? I checked the movie section on the AppleTV, but [...]

I had heard about the movie making magic of Animoto.com but never really checked it out until now. Very cool and easy to use. For an automated system, the end product is very good. There’s not much you can do to edit the movie but really, you don’t have to. Here’s a movie I “made” [...]

Not sure what to make of Wal-Mart’s acquisition of Vudu. At first glance, the pairing seems like an odd combination. Sure Wal-Mart wants in on the streaming business but is it a right fit for both companies or should I kiss my useful Vudu box good bye? Speaking of Vudu, did you catch my five-part [...]

My string of encounters with Farmers Insurance Hawaii advertisements continues. This time it was at the movies before showtime. This was at the Pearlridge theaters for a limited engagement of Thomas & Friends: Thomas & the Runaway Kite.

Not quite Daniel Larusso and Mr. Miyagi but the next generation remake of Karate Kid.

Haven’t had time to watch the latest Twilight saga, New Moon, in the theaters yet? Here’s a four minute video synopsis including the surprising ending. Of course, spoilers are evident. This video is so going to be taken down, so watch it while it’s available.

One year ago, the launch of the Twilight movie series got me and the missus back in the movie theater. One year later, it’s New Moon that brought us back to the big screen. So how was New Moon through a pair of even older eyes? Better than Twilight is my to-the-point review. But first, [...]

Team Jacob is front and center for Twilight’s New Moon. If you’re not a fan of the pale skin of vampires, you’ll appreciate the tone, tan bods of the wolves. GoTeamJacob.com

Since the local movie, One Kine Day, was filming in the neighborhood, I went to take a quick look. There was a lot of equipment and staff, but I didn’t see too much of the actual filming. You can see not so exciting pictures of the filming here.

While driving in the Kailua area, I came across these mysterious white trailers and cordoned off streets. Was this another Samsung commercial? Was LOST back in session? Nope. Doing some quick Googling led me to “One Kine Day” produced by Haolewood Productions. This local (and self-admitted low budget) film centers around a local skater, his [...]

Wow, the storied history of the von Trapp family continues to unfold. First I learn that the Sound of Music family really does exist. Then “S” mentions going to college with Sam von Trapp on the East Coast though never meeting. “S” also mentions the Trapp family inn which I am lead to via Twitter. [...]

At Borders, I saw this jigsaw puzzle of Edward Cullen. The lineup of Twilight stuff just never ends.

Watched Slumdog Millionaire, what a show. Still feeling crummy for the kids and their living conditions in the slums of India. A great flick but with an out-of-character closing credits of the cast doing a group dance to Jai Ho. Here’s what I mean. And since Nicole Scherzinger is in her hometown Hawaii performing the [...]

With this helmet, you can remix your voice with six different music styles and play sounds of Bumblebee transforming. The best thing, of course, is looking like Bumblebee. Wear [...]

When talking about Neil Patrick Harris, most people think of his role as youthful doctor, Doogie Howser M.D. or his more recent work on How I Met Your Mother. For me, I’ll always remember NPH (as his fans call him) as the mind reading Colonel Carl Jenkins of Starship Troopers who exclaims “It’s afraid. It’s [...]

I’m just loving this look! The tiara just puts it over the top. Anyone want to guess what movie this scene is from?
