Picked up my first Ms. Pac-man

Exciting day, very short and tiring night, but it was worth it.

There were a number of arcade cabinets in Marion, as I mentioned, and I was looking to buy one of the Midway’s that has the same shape as a Ms. Pacman so I could build my own.

But this week I had been watching a local auction on eBay for someone selling a Ms. Pacman that wasn’t working. I looked at the photos, the cabinet appeared to be in good condition, artwork was good and the problem sounded like …

Ultra Violet (2006)

Who’s in it

Milla Jovovich, Cameron Bright, William Fitchner

Should you see this movie?

Milla is pretty to look at in her cool, tight fitting, colorful outfits, and this movie had some cool techie visualizations of what this future world may look like, but overall, it was a POS movie. The acting was horrendous, the action so outrageously unbelieveable, and the plot so simple but yet got so mixed up that you can’t believe you are only

The Punisher (2004)

Who’s in it

Thomas Jane, John Travolta, Will Patton, Rebecca Romijn, Ben Foster

Should you see this movie?

This movie is good, but mostly for me because it is a lot like the comic book. Unless you like intense violence, I would skip this movie, there are some disturbing things that happen, like a scalded face, piercings ripped out, etc. But I like to watch movies that bring my comics to life and I thought Jane

Mr. Do! bought on ebay in Grand Rapids, MI

In late November, Justin turned me on to two auctions one seller was having, very close to Grand Rapids MI, for a Mr. Do and Mr. Do Castle. They were both going for pretty cheap, so I bid on both. But I didn’t want them that bad, they didn’t look that great or so I thought, and I was at the movie when the auctions were ending.

I ended up winning the Mr. Do machine, but not the Castle. That was a mistake. The Castle was in great condition with a …

Minority Report (2002)

Who’s in it

Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell, Max von Sydow, Steve McDonough

Should you see this movie?

Hell yeah! I loved this movie for the staples, innovative ideas for what the future may be like, technology, action, a troubled Tom Cruise character that does a lot of shouting and running, and a twist. I remember being pleasantly surprised when I first saw this movie in the theaters back in the day, and it is a really entertaining movie for me

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)

Who’s in it

Will Ferrell, John C. Riley

Should you see this movie?

Yes. I turned it down on two seperate occasions, only to see it on the plane back home from Australia. Unlike most movies like this, not all the funny parts are in the commercials, and in fact, most of the stuff in the commercials was the stuff I didn’t find funny. If you don’t like Will Ferrell at times because

Trust The Man (2005)

Who’s in it

Julianne Moore, David Duchovny

Should you see this movie?

Holy Baby Mushrooms no! It’s a veiled love story that tries too hard, the guys are supposedly outspoken and sarcastically funny (not), and they both mess up their relationships because they are unsure for a while about love. They’re scared. Their traites are fairly quirky and different but the base is the same as everything else, and no one in this movie is notable. No
