Bringer of Jollity - Slice of Lime
http://limecrete-sliceoflime.blogspot.com/2015/02/bringer-of-jollity.html
A virtual collection of the films, television, books, video games, and other assorted entertainments that make life enjoyable. I swear, I didn't plan to have two sci-fi entries in a row! Things just shake out weirdly, sometimes. A friend wanted to know if I wanted to go catch an IMAX 3-D screening of the Wachowskis' latest movie, Jupiter Ascending. Say what you will about the Wachowskis', but you can't claim that their movies are boring. I enjoyed Cloud Atlas. The action set-pieces are exciting, the hair...

The Dog (Eared) Days of Summer - Slice of Lime
http://limecrete-sliceoflime.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-dog-eared-days-of-summer.html
A virtual collection of the films, television, books, video games, and other assorted entertainments that make life enjoyable. The Dog (Eared) Days of Summer. JJ Abrams and Doug Dorst (2013). Has a hell of a gimmick: It's a full-length "book" ( Ship of Theseus. And as they collaborate and argue, they begin to develop a relationship. Danger abounds from outside forces who don't want the pair to get credit for their work, and the margin notes start to vacillate between literary critique and personal re...

Good One - Slice of Lime
http://limecrete-sliceoflime.blogspot.com/2015/07/good-one.html
A virtual collection of the films, television, books, video games, and other assorted entertainments that make life enjoyable. What did the snail say as he was riding on the turtle's back? It's not just about her reaction to disaster, though. Tig. On the flip side, Amy Schumer's new movie, Trainwreck. It looks like she's pretty easily expanding her influence into movies as well. Let's hope in the next one, she's allowed to escape the bonds of traditional rom-com endings. Tuesday, July 28, 2015.

A virtual collection of the films, television, books, video games, and other assorted entertainments that make life enjoyable. Rank and File: Pixar Movies - Part 6. It's sequel night for the Pixar movie project! If the first Toy Story. Was about forging a new family, and Toy Story 2. Was about the importance of maintaining that family, Toy Story 3. This is the most heartfelt of the Toy Story. Movies, which is saying something after Toy Story 2. Reduced me to tears. It captures the heartache of losing...

A virtual collection of the films, television, books, video games, and other assorted entertainments that make life enjoyable. Crustacean Crushes and the Futuristic Sugar Robot. My god, is it hot outside. This is what I get for complaining about that first part of summer when it was cool and rained seven inches a day. But now that we've reached the intolerable heat and humidity part of the calendar, it's time to talk summer food. So head on over to Four Courses and check out Episode 18. Though they were ...

Camp it Up - Slice of Lime
http://limecrete-sliceoflime.blogspot.com/2015/08/camp-it-up.html
A virtual collection of the films, television, books, video games, and other assorted entertainments that make life enjoyable. Wet Hot American Summer. Is a polarizing movie. It made no money at the box office, but became a cult success, and is still dividing friends who generally have similar movie tastes to this day. I love it, but have proudly screened it for people who then asked me what in the hell I see in something so unabashedly absurd. It doesn't help sell any comedy to over-explain the jokes, b...

http://limecrete-sliceoflime.blogspot.com/2012/07/brave-new-world.html
A virtual collection of the films, television, books, video games, and other assorted entertainments that make life enjoyable. Put it into the former category, and it's a shame, because the newest member to the Pixar clubhouse is highly enjoyable. The entire second half of this movie could be construed as spoilers, so read further at your own peril. Are confident, strong women, and the movie just lets them be that instead of having to announce it. Truly shines. Action scenes are, of course, part of t...

Last Comic Standing - Slice of Lime
http://limecrete-sliceoflime.blogspot.com/2015/08/last-comic-standing.html
A virtual collection of the films, television, books, video games, and other assorted entertainments that make life enjoyable. I wanted to examine a wide range of styles in one, quick burst, so I devoured three really disparate titles in short order. As I mentioned in my last post. The Wolf Among Us. Was based on Fables. A comic book series that I'd often heard my fellow nerds discussing. It seemed like a great place to start, so I grabbed Volume #1 ( Legends in Exile. And Volume #2 ( Animal Farm. Rank a...

Fairy Tale Ending - Slice of Lime
http://limecrete-sliceoflime.blogspot.com/2015/08/fairy-tale-ending.html
A virtual collection of the films, television, books, video games, and other assorted entertainments that make life enjoyable. As you'll see by any stroll through the Games label, I tend to enjoy games that have strong stories. Not that I don't enjoy mindless games from time to time, but in general, I want to be playing something that's more like an interactive book/movie than just blasting away at some zombies. Luckily, this is a great time to be a gamer if you're into stories. In The Wolf Among Us.
