Among the movies being released this weekend in the US, I think there are at least 2 that are going to make their mark in the Box Office. These are the controversial, long expected Prometheus, and the funny and already popular Madagascar 3. I, for one, will probably go see Madagascar 3, although I bet that Prometheus won’t miss me, since all the seats will probably be taken at every show. The thing with Prometheus is that before seeing the [...]

Sometimes it takes a guy to get a guy…and a girl to get a girl -          I dare you to send her a message. Isn’t that how the best stories start? With a dare. With something you wouldn’t have done under normal circumstances. But you’re too drunk, it’s too late or you have too big of an ego to say you don’t dare. The rest is history, as they say. -          Ok, and what do I tell her? -          Hi. [...]

Everything happens for a reason, as the main character of Haruki Murakami’s novel finds out in A Wild Sheep Chase.

Having been released for less than a week, Mega Run is already in the Top 10 Free Apps in the AppStore. So, naturally, I decided to give it a try. And I had a blast playing it! Mega Run is an arcade game that got me thinking of the classic Super Mario. Only that here the main character of the game is a cute, red, dinosaur looking little creature. His name is Redford and he is on a quest to [...]

What is a villain? The classic definition describes him as an evil person, or just somebody who is opposing the hero. You can spot him from the beginning of the movie. And, usually you hope that by the end of the movie he will suffer a tragic death. But has it ever happened to you to actually like the villain more than the hero? Or, at least be intrigued by his actions, although they are wicked and cruel? This happened [...]

Whoever says that people no longer go to watch movies in cinemas doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Cinemas are almost always full. And movies hit the box office with larger and larger numbers as time goes by. But what makes us go and see a certain movie and not another one?
