Four Christmases (2008)

Posted November 30th, 2009 by Admin | No Comments

I think we were all hoping that this was going to be the next great Christmas movie. Unfortunately, the film is not. In fact, it doesn’t come anywhere close to a “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” type quality film. As a matter of fact it falls way below any expectations that may have [...]

My Sister’s Keeper (2009)

Posted November 25th, 2009 by Admin | No Comments

Let’s set the record straight, “My Sister’s Keeper” is not a true story, regardless of what you may have heard. The only thing true about this story is that there are families out there that have one sick child and one child that is able to help save the life of that sick child. [...]

Amazon’s Black Friday HDTV deals include Panasonic plasmas

Posted November 25th, 2009 by Admin | No Comments

Though only 6 percent of you said in our poll that you plan to shop at Amazon.com for an HDTV on Black Friday, I still thought I should point out the deals that the online retailing giant is offering. Unlike many of the other stores’ Black Friday specials, Amazon has a few Panasonic plasmas on [...]

Neuhaus Labs T-2 Integrated Vacuum Tube Amplifier Review

Posted November 24th, 2009 by Admin | No Comments

Computer audio has come a long way since I purchased my first PC back in 1996. It was a Hewlett Packard model that ran on Windows 95 and had a pair of speakers that clipped onto each side of the monitor. That bulbous display and plastic speakers served as my first computer audio console, and [...]
