Movie: Transporter 2

September 30, 2005 – 9:22 am

Movie: Transporter 2
For fans of the original, and those who like their action movies loud, pointless, but not overly gory. Some great driving, martial arts sequences, and a moment or two where disbelief has to be suspended. A lot of fun, in spite of the scantly clad female assassin. Only having my little brother with [...]

Book: Balancing life’s demands

September 26, 2005 – 7:35 am

Book: Balancing life’s demandsJ. Grant Howard makes the case that the very notion of "priorities" is the wrong one: under God, we have a number of areas of responsibility, each tied to a particular relationship. We need to organise our life not based on which thing is the most important, but rather on making sure [...]

DVD: Cellular

September 24, 2005 – 7:14 pm

DVD: Cellular
Looks like it will be a fairly mindless B-grade action movie, and it is, but it’s still quite watchable, and there’s enough suspense to keep it interesting.

DVD: A Very Long Engagement

September 24, 2005 – 10:17 am

DVD: A Very Long Engagement
Amazing visually, great character interplay, a story that draws the viewer in; being a French film, there’s more adult content than some viewers would be comfortable with; shows the great cost of going to war.

DVD: Coach Carter

September 24, 2005 – 10:15 am

DVD: Coach CarterA by the numbers high-school drama. Samuel L. Jackson gives a good performance - a more complex character than he usually portrays. Watchable, not much thinking required. A good movie to recover from the flu to.

nothing to worry about

September 21, 2005 – 11:19 pm

Sheesh. When you have a sore chest for a couple of hours after exercising, there are certainly a lot of things that you need to do before the doctors are happy with you… ECG (normal), blood pressure check (up a bit, then back to normal), then blood tests (results back in two days). Failing any [...]

the return of the car

September 20, 2005 – 11:16 pm

Another day, another car repair. This time, I’m hoping it’s the last one. Beware, owners of 2001 Vectras; not only do you have to replace the timing belt at the 60,000kms service, but there are other things that can go wrong. Today marked the installation of a new IAC motor (idle air control motor) - [...]
