Tanner on Ice

The plot device of freezing Evan Tanner cryogenically for a good many years seems a way to deprive readers of years of Tanner stories. Boo. But a good book.

Sherlock Holmes in Orbit

26 excellent Sherlock Holmes stories, many with a science fiction twist.

US Marshals

What can I say? Tommy Lee Jones is just fun to watch.

Firewall

Firewall was every bit as bad as indicated by its negative reviews. The usual redeeming value of seeing it with my dad.

Memnoch the Devil

What is the place of sacrifice in love and redemption?

Digitizing books

Digitizing books is important. Making content Googleable is exteremely important -- and whatever can be Googleable in your content, your web application, your life, should be -- but part of what makes culture culture is that it is not Googleable. Aspire to have something that is by its nature not Googleable.

Doom

I saw Doom today with my dad. It was every bit as bad as you might expect.

Hoodwinked

I saw Hoodwinked and really liked it a lot. Fun movie, nice twists, clever nods to other films, clean and classy. Also, short.
