There were some funny moments but overall, it was just okay. The first one was certainly much funnier! I need to watch it (the first one) again! Edge of Reason= 2.5 out of 5 stars.

Home on the Range was BORING!!! I hate that Disney could put such a cute concept together (I really wanted to see it when it came out in the theatres) yet it be such a flop. The gist of the movie was predictable for the most part and I found myself doing other things through the entire movie. How sad. 1 out of 5 stars.

Not necessarily 2 hours of ROTFL but fairly funny. I didn’t know if was a remake – I’m going to make a point to see the original sometime this summer.

The one thing I was impressed with is how unannoying Jim Carrey and Tea Leoni were. They’re not necessarily my #1 sets of actors to go see in movies. I really think that Jim Carrey has been so hyped up in the last 5-7 years that people are willing to over look some of the crap he’s put out there. I think the key in his being okay in this movie was that it wasn’t constant slapstick on his part. There was slapstick, it was just done is good amounts of moderation. Maybe he needs to stick to remakes!

The Whole Ten Yards

http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thebigbenfors-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B00029NMRM&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&lc1=0000ff&bc1=000000&bg1=ffffff&f=ifr It sucked. The Whole Nine Yards was hillarious. I think I laughed through the entire thing. There was not one thing funny about it’s sequel. I know, sequels are never as good as the original but usually there is something to hold it together. This had nothing.

A question for my nerd friends…

I recently got a DVR and love that I can record shows & movies so easily!! Now, I want to transfer them to my computer so I can burn them onto DVDs and keep some of them. The DVR/cable box (Scientific Atlanta) has a firewire port in the back as well as a USB port in the front so I figure it’s possible. It’s just that the stupid cable company didn’t give me any instructions for it. I guess I could google for instructions but why not give you guys a challenge….

Thanks in advance for the help.
