Dell V505 Printer Review
I feel good about the DellV505 printer. There are three reasons for this. Firstly because while the MSRP is $169, the street price is considerably less and you should be able to pick one up for around $100. Secondly, if you buy the red one you are participating in the PRODUCT Red Project – a [...]
10,000 B.C. DVD Review
Director/writer Roland Emmerich (Stargate, Independence Day, Godzilla, The Day After Tomorrow, The Patriot) has fallen prey to what a lot of talented people in Hollywood fall prey too. I’ll call it the reverse success effect. His career started off with great promise, but through the years, it has dwindled down to failed attempts at entertainment. [...]
Canon SD780 IS Digital Camera Review
The Canon SD780 IS is not going to redefine the parameters of digital photography, or even point and shoot photography. But that’s not what it is supposed to do. At first blush the $300 price tag may seem a bit high for a camera with just a 3x zoom, 2.5 inch LCD and very few [...]
The Secret Life Of Bees DVD Review
The Secret Life of Bees, which is adapted from Sue Monk Kiddís 2002 best-selling book by the same name, is set in 1964 South Carolina, where Lily (Dakota Fanning) is living with her alcoholic father, T. Ray (Paul Bettany of The Da Vinci Code). Lily is 14 years old and dealing with the death of [...]
Asus W90 Review
When Asus were creating the W90, it is obvious they have one objective in mind – to knock the stuffing out of every other gaming notebook on the market. And they seem to have succeeded. The success is not just in performance, but also in the pricing. At $2199 it costs a little more than [...]
The Strangers DVD Review
What you are about to see is inspired by true events. According to the FBI, there are an estimated 1.4 million violent crimes in America each year. On the night of February 11, 2005, Kristen McKay and James Hoyt left a friend’s wedding reception and returned to the Hoyt family’s summer home. The brutal events [...]
Samsung Propel Smartphone
Being priced at $50, the Samsung Propel is definitely not projecting itself as being part of the high end mobile phone population. But even in lower ranges of the smartphone segment, it still does not have all that one could wish for, or more importantly, all that one would expect.
The Women DVD Review
For the record, I’m perfectly fine with an estrogen-dominated film, especially when it is interesting and entertaining. But, despite a multitude of talented female actors, The Women was one of the worst films I’ve seen in a long, long time.
Olympus SP-565 UZ Digital Camera Review
How competitive the digital camera world is getting is proven by the recent introduction of the Olympus SP-565 UZ. It is just a minor reworking of the older 570 UZ. In fact, the changes are so small they would not normally have been enough for the introduction of a new model, but with the market [...]
Vicky Cristina Barcelona DVD Review
This drama (billed as a romantic comedy) was written and directed by Woody Allen and is about Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson). The two young American girls travel to Catalonia for the summer–Vicky is studying for her master’s degree in “Catalan identity”, thus she needs the research, and Cristina is there to soak [...]
