Movie Review: Resident Evil Afterlife
Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D
Basic Premise:
Alice is back and she's on a mission to uncover the truth about Arcadia and its mysterious message of hope and safety.
Review:
Fun to watch. I would have probably loved it if not for the wandering singularities and the to-be-continued ending.
Anyone who has read my previous reviews knows how much I hate when movies don't end. I don't care if a

TV Review: Satisfaction Season One
Satisfaction
Basic Premise:
Australian Showtime Presents a legal brothel, it's employees and the their trials and tribulations with work, social lives, families, and everything in between.
Review:
I wasn't sure what to expect with this show, but Netflix recommended it since I liked Dead Like Me and Torchwood. Go fig. For once the silly recommendation system actually works. Unlike those times

Still Resting
I go back to work on Thursday so I'm still resting today. I probably won't have time to do a decent follow-up post until Monday/Tuesday.
Flash and I are already planning costumes for Dragon*Con 2011. I'm not telling what we'll do since I don't want other people doing the same. But I will post pics after the fact. :D

Good To Be Home
I am home and sitting with food waiting to be eaten. I just had to do a quick post now because later won't be an option. I plan to pass out and not wake up until I feel like it.
The drive home took a little longer than I thought it would. I'm not used to traveling I-85. I also didn't know I-85 puts you off AFTER the the I-295 exit so I had to drive through Richmond rather than around it. That

Dragon*Con: Last Day
The last day and it was empty. I'd say a sixth of the people, maybe less. Hardly any costumes. Most everyone was packing up and leaving.
My brother and I only went today so we could see if there would be any sales at the dealer tables and get some stuff signed. I picked up the shirts I wanted from the get go, so I'm happy about that.
I managed to get two out of the three things I wanted. The

Retro Movie Review: Kick-Ass
Kick-Ass
Basic Premise:
Dave Lizewski is a typical invisible teen who loves comics. He's asked the question most comic book fans have asked in the past -- why has no one ever put on a costume and gone out to fight crime? He decides to be the first, but quickly learns that the real world isn't like the comics and he may have bitten off more than he can chew.
Review:
I didn't hate it. I thought

Dragon*Con: Day Three
The exhaustion is catching up to me quick. Today was a lot more laid back. I ran into Leanna Renee Hieber on the way in and chatted with her a little bit. She looked amazing in her Victorian garb, as usual. I also met C.L. Wilson in the Exhibit room.
I did two panels. The first was a CGI panel that was more technical and meant for film students so I didn't stick around. The second was a

Dragon*Con: Day Two
Much better.
The parade down Peachtree was amazing. There were floats and vehicles and spectacles and it was GREAT. The funniest part -- I thought -- was when the Battlestar Galatica group/section walked past and pulled a guy dressed as Commander Adama from the crowd. That was especially funny since no in the group had thought to cosplay him.
The parade started with two guys dressed in full
