Tucker & Dale vs Evil (2009)
Filed Under Entertainment, Movies, Videos
I have to admit, this movie trailer caught me off guard today.
By the title alone, Tucker & Dale vs Evil (2009), I would have never thought to even take a look at this movie. However, since a friend sent me the link I decided to check it out…
… and it looks AWESOME.

Alice in Wonderland (2010)
Filed Under Entertainment, Movies
This evening a group of us went and saw the new Alice in Wonderland (2010). Before the movie even started, I had doubts. The previews alone proved that I was definitely not part of the target audience of the movie. Granted, it’s a children’s movie, so I ignored this fact.
The movie started, and had incredibly well done CGI, but that was about it. I think I actually liked the plot of SciFi’s Alice much better than this one. There’s was at least an original take on a classic, but that’s life.
The movie kept my attention throughout the whole film, so I won’t say it was bad. It just wasn’t quite as awesome as I had hoped.
Anyway, so it’s a neat film. If you get a chance to see it, I would still recommend watching it, but on DVD.

With my pre-release copy of Windows 7 expiring over the weekend, I finally got around to reinstalling with Windows 7 Professional. I thought about getting Ultimate, but I found I didn’t really use any of the Ultimate features, so Professional should be more than good enough for me.
I wish I could say the process went without a hitch, but it was actually a pain. Not because installing was a pain, but because I used the Microsoft e-Delivery system.
The Microsoft e-Delivery system has an executable that runs to Authorize, Download and Unpack an ISO (CD/DVD image) for you. This sounds fine, except the first time I ran it, it ran “successfully” - downloaded content, unpacked and created an ISO. I burned and the install failed.
Ends up, the downloader only downloaded part of the ISO. I presume the AMD64 part, and not the Intel 64, since I was able to see a bunch of AMD64 files, and no x64 files. So after a failed install, I re-ran the downloader and this time my ISO was 3.0GB instead of 1.32GB.
With the full installation media this time, the install was super quick.
In any case, everything is back up and running smoothly and no more Expiration Notices! Hooray.
