And it was good. When DiCaprio's character first appeared on screen, for a while I couldn't believe it was Leonardo DiCaprio - he has ... http://blog.voodoolabs.net/2008-07-30/movie-diary-v/ The Count of Monte Cristo A tale of betrayal and revenge. Very well done. Set in Italy. Above Average. Along Came A Spider I find that when I watch good movies they shadow others. Alone I might have enjoyed this movie more, but watching it not long after Spartan was a lacklustre experience. It ... http://blog.voodoolabs.net/2008-07-30/movie-diary-iv/ Deep Red (Profondo rosso) This is the first of a series of italian horror thrillers by Dario Argento I've been watching. This was made in the 70's and it does show a bit, so if you are watching it expect an old movie. The creation of mystery is fantastic but what ... http://blog.voodoolabs.net/2008-07-30/movie-diary-iii/ Gia Powerful biography of Gia Carangi's life. Lesbianism, drugs, AIDS. Very intense drama. Not my style of movie, I normally like to be entertained while this was gruelling. I have to say it's very good if you like that sort of movie. Sneakers A great hacking movie. It has the setup, suspense and ... http://blog.voodoolabs.net/2008-07-30/movie-diary-ii/ My movie watching has increased lately and I think starting a movie diary is a good idea. I have quite a backlog that I'll detail in one or more posts and after than perhaps monthly summarise the movies I've seen during that period. I welcome any and all movie recommendations, all ... http://blog.voodoolabs.net/2008-07-30/movie-diary-i/ David Bennett is the National MP for Hamilton http://blog.voodoolabs.net/2008-06-09/friend-request/ Apple Insider Article If you don't pay the subscription, there goes all your music.

This might continue. http://blog.voodoolabs.net/2007-12-23/random-i/ A few parts of the game disappointed me a bit. The whole Cortana cam (the flashbacks?) was tedious. Especially the part where she says 'This is how the world ends'. It wasn't. But the rest of the game was mint. Ripping turrets off their mounts is so satisfying.
