Movie Madness
Yesterday Chris and I went to see ‘Grown Ups,’ the new Adam Sandler movie. While the movie itself was great, almost everything else about it wasn’t. Normally we go to Edwards Cinemas up in River Park, but Chris wanted to go all the way out to Sierra Vista because of the amazing candy store, Powell’s Sweet Shoppe. We arrived at the theater to buy tickets 5 minutes after the ...[Read More]
Resident Evil: Afterlife Trailer
Well I’m a little late to the zombie party. Apparently back in April the trailer for the new Resident Evil movie was released, and I’m just now getting around to it. Oops! Resident Evil: Afterlife takes place in Los Angeles. Alice, played by Milla Jovovich, got a tip that LA was a safe haven from the infection, but when she arrives Alice quickly discovers that the entire city has been ...[Read More]
Writers Wanted
Currently, World of Meh! is handled by both myself and Chris. With Chris working full-time, 6 days a week, and me only being able to think up of so much to write about, we are looking for a few bright, snarky, and geeky individuals to join us. I should probably state that it’s a voluntary position meaning there is no financial compensation involved. World of Meh! is a labor of love, and to d...[Read More]
Shrek Forever After Review
Earlier today, Chris and I went with my daughter to see the recent, and final, installment to the popular DreamWorks Shrek franchise, Shrek Forever After. The original Shrek movie was fantastic, and the sequel wasn’t too bad, but the third Shrek movie was just too much, and it made me wonder how enjoyable Shrek Forever After would be. I was pleasantly surprised. It all starts out with a male...[Read More]
Taken
If you manage to walk away from Taken having learned one lesson, that lesson would be to never fuck with Liam Neeson. If you do, you will die so hard that your ancestors will feel it. Seriously. Liam Neeson plays Bryan Mills, a retired CIA agent trying to get closer to his estranged daughter. Plot setup ensues, and finally his daughter is kidnapped while on vacation in Paris. He tracks down th...[Read More]

Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland
If you’ve been living under a rock, then you wouldn’t know that the genius known as Tim Burton has been working on Alice in Wonderland. If you are aware of Mr. Burton’s endeavours, then you probably know that today a trailer for it was released onto the internet. It spread like wildfire, only to be deleted by Disney (because they suck). I did a little “Google Magic” a...[Read More]
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Review
Tonight, Lindsey and I were treated to an advance screening of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Details of our good fortune can be found here. We sat to watch the film with many of our Twitter friends, such as @leftybrown and @mrsleftybrown, @ChrisHangsleben and @KarmaKaze7, @DanielDanger, and more! Before the film began, however, came a series of trivia questions from @mikeoz of the Fre...[Read More]
Twilight vs. Harry Potter
Browsing around on Youtube, I came across this video that made me laugh so damn hard. It’s from RecklessTortuga, a sketch comedy group from Los Angeles. If you are a fan of either Twilight (gag) or Harry Potter (yay!), be sure to watch this video (it also pretty much solidifies my reasons for NOT wanting to watch Twilight). youtube::0Dtjo2Zt88s&feature=PlayList&p=CCBCC8131F12257B&...[Read More]
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince – Advance Screening
In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man. Midnight premieres. I have been to many midnight premieres in the years that I have walked upon the earth. I revel in the atmosphere of a midnight premiere. I rejoice in the opportunity to interact with my people. The true believers, not just in the content, but in the medium itself, make themselves known. This is the ultimate movi...[Read More]
