In Cowboy Bebop, episode 2, cool dog’s strut is a marvelous excuse of a waste of time. Keeping up with Cowboy Bebop’s unparalleled style, the entire episode seems to be an excuse to write in Rin. Who is our new lovable bioengineered welsh carrier, that seems to hog …

I don’t know why I thought this, but I could have sworn the 1932 movie The Mummy was a horror film. I mean, it is advertised that way and stars Boris Karloff.

So I thought “Well, here we go again! Another shark movie” This time however, I was astonished to find that I really dug this one. It is nicely suspenseful and like a few others of its kind, too unnervingly real. It is billed as being based on real-life events. Kudos …

Maybe it’s because I’m watching it on cable before 8 in the morning, but the movie Dream Girls just isn’t as good as I expected it to be.
