My favorite movies for Halloween
When you hear the month October only one thing comes to mind and that’s Halloween. When I was a little kid Halloween was a time for me to indulge in large amounts of candy that would spike my blood sugar to levels that would make Willy Wonka blush. Those were great times. Now, the meaning of Halloween has taken a big turn to more of an adult oriented event where women and men dress up like Playboy bunnies and Hugh Heffners. Long are the pillowcase-filled candy and treats as our society now looks down upon consuming to0 much refined sugar and excess consumption of high calorie food.
But there’s one constant in Halloween to always be proud about and that’s the score of horror movies that gets released, re-released, rebooted, or remade. I love horror movies. Whether it’s about monsters, ghosts, demons, serial killers, aliens, or zombies they’re always fun to watch. It’s interesting seeing the human condition either suffer or survive something so horrific. It’s because those who survives are either the smartest ones or the bravest, unless it’s a Greek tragedy then all bets are off.
Below are some of my favorite horror movies. What’s yours?
The Exorcist
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Night of the Living Dead (Romero’s classic and the 1991 remake)
Saw movies
The Mist
Sixth Sense
The Ring
The Others
Stir of Echoes
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original and remake)

RIM’s new tablet: Blackberry Playbook
RIM has just announce their new tablet. The Blackberry Playbook.
http://crackberry.com/blackberry-playbook-announced
Specs listed on Crackberry.com:
- Measures 5.1″x7.6″x0.4″ (130mm x 193mm x 10mm)
- Weighs less than a pound (approximately 0.9 lb or 400g)
Every manufacturer and their mother are getting into the tablet foray. It looks like the iPad won’t be alone any longer. Samsung and their Galaxy Tab will also be hitting state side soon as well. So far the Blackberry Playbook has already exceeded my expectations, which wasn’t all that much to begin with as RIM is known to be very conservative with their Blackberry phones. That’s why I’m surprised by their hardware specs, and I’m very interested in their new QNX OS. RIM will need this device to be impressive (and magical) if it wants to bite a chuck out of the iPad’s market share. Yay, for competition!
