The Last Samurai

The Last Samurai is one of my absolute favorites, it is oddly enough always my second favorite movie.  My favorite movie can switch between various movies such as V for Vendetta, the Godfather, Fight Club, 300, etc. but the second position always remains constant.   I’m a sucker for all of the heroic movies, especially where […]

Jim Reviews: Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver

This is one of those books that you wouldn’t expect to see here on my recommended book list considering my age/gender.  This is a great book because it may carry heavy messages but at the same time it has a great plot.  This book was one of the books I read for my “Ghosts of […]

Opinion Outpost, get paid for your opinions!

Well I’ve been posting mostly about the various video games, books, and movies that I have recently bought for the most part lately, so I figure that it is about time for me to give some information on how afford all this stuff at 18 with cash to spare.  When I made my first website […]

Jim Reviews Diablo II

This game is an oldie but it still holds a place in my heart.  It has been around since I was in fifth grade and ever since I’ve played it at lest once a year.  Even in the first half of my first semester of college I was playing this game actively.  I’m not sure what it […]

The Assault on Reason By Al Gore, Part 1

Well this book is absolutely packed with information and I feel it would only do it justice to write this review in parts, this is based on where I am so far in the book (just finished introduction + first chapter).
I’d have to say this is the best $20 I’ve spent in a long time, […]

Let’s amend the constitution to be closer to the word of god!, and other political pandering.

I’ve been watching all of the political talk shows, candidate speeches, etc. all week long and I’ve noticed that we have already hit the point that every major election reaches.  Politicians are each going off in their own direction pandering to whatever political crowd they are going for. 
Romney was able to absolutely dominate Michigan by […]

The Bourne Ultimatum

This is one of those movies that I simply cannot believe I just saw, I absolutely loved it.  It’s the third in the The Jason Bourne Collection (trilogy) (I have never seen the first two).  I can’t comment on the first two in the series but the fact that I caught up on the plot […]

Jim Reviews: V for Vendetta

“Remember, Remember, the fifth of November; the gunpowder treason and plot.  I know of no reason, why it should ever be forgot.”
V for Vendetta is a movie that you will either watch 20 times or settle for seeing it once.  I feel that it is a must see movie, based off the Guy Fawkes gunpowder […]

Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood

This is a great book that I would’ve never heard of if it weren’t for my English professor this semester.  I was in a class called “Ghosts of Our Ecological Past”, taught by Christine Battista at Binghamton University.  It was without a doubt the most interesting class that I’ve taken.  The main theme behind the […]

Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars

The latest in EA’s Command and Conquer series is here, and for those that don’t have it yet you are missing out.  I pre-ordered it 3 months in advance to make sure that I would have it once it comes out.  It completed my collection of every single C&C game and while there have been a few […]
