Zathura

zathura

Zathura is one of those movies that should of been one of the straight-to-video movies, but somehow ended up on the big screen. I’m not taking anything away from it. It’s a decent fun family movie. Zathura takes a page out of “Jumanji” which shouldn’t be a suprise since its from the same writer and producer. The movie pits two young brothers who aren’t fond of each other. They find a board-like game, Zathura, which transport them into outer space where they must work together to finish it all while evading aliens, meteor showers, and a killer robot just to get back home.

Rating: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆

Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire

This is the fourth movie installment of the Harry Potter movies. Compared to the first film the trio are physically much older and Harry is finally starting to notice girls. It’s about time, I was getting a little worried with him hanging out with Ron a bit too much with Hermione being around and all. This movie is the darkest movie yet and the first one in the series to be rated PG13. In his fourth year at Hogwarts, Harry enters into a wizard competition that is suppose to be reserved for older and more experienced students. There are three deadly tests the compeitiors must face. The competition is not only the thing taking place but instead there is a sinister plot taking place and Harry’s only clue are the dreams he is having in his sleep.

I definately enjoyed the movie, and I feel it is much better than the last one, Prisoner of Azkaban. The big question is how long can the actors play their parts and how many Potter movies will be made? The next in line should be ‘The order of the Phoenix’. According the IMDB.com the next one should be out by 2007 and it’s follow-up of the latest Potter novel to-date should be out in 2008.

Rating: ★★★★★★★½☆☆

The new Harry Potter movie

Who’s down to watch the new Harry Potter movie this Friday? If you haven’t already seen the first three then go watch it now. I’m off from work so an early or late showing shouldn’t be a problem.

I’m not a fanatic fan of Harry Potter I enjoyed the movies. I only had the chance to read the first book, and many would disagree, but the movie was better.

New Radio Stream

The current playlist is my collection of mp3s of about 9.5 GB. It’s set on shuffle and should play continuously until I turn off my server or when I change the playlist.

Home Run 10K Habitat for Humanity

I haven’t posted for a few days. There’s nothing new or anything exciting to post about. Today, I ran the Home Run 10K at Stanford. I ran it last year as well, but it was the 5K instead. My time was decent, 42:48, it was faster than the last 10K that I ran last month. With the SV Marathon that’s two races in less than 3 weeks. I’m going to hold off on anymore races this month until the Christmas Relays in December. In the meantime I’m going to work on strength training since I haven’t done so in quite a while.

Here’s a picture of some of the runners in the Spartans Running Club.
