Tall, Blonde, and Available... in 3-D

If you have visited a Starbuck's Coffee Shop lately, you may have noticed that they now offer Blonde Coffee. They even have new "Blonde Coffee Mugs" to drink it in. The mugs sort of look like hard boiled eggs with a pinch of pepper sprinkled on; or sunny side up if that's what you prefer. In any case, I have taken a slight liking to the new mugs. You might even call it a crush. Furthermore, while admiring the new Blonde Coffee Mugs, I noticed that the design of the "City Lights" Starbuck's Card has somewhat of a three dimensional effect to it. I find that if you focus on the yellow lights on the card for a while, the rest of the design will pop out at you in layers. Well, I just thought this was too neat to go unmentioned. Before I go, I would also like to mention that you may be able to find Starbuck's "Peppermint Mocha" flavored ice cream at a grocery store near you, as it is currently available. If you are an ice cream fanatic, you might want to ASAP on that, as it is a "Limited Edition" flavor. Good Day.

Real Steel on Blu-Ray and DVD

Real Steel will be out on Blu-Ray and DVD this Tuesday, January 24. Since most of the fighting in this movie is done by robots, it seems less brutal to watch than other fighting movies; which is a good thing. I find that the life size robots used in this movie were meant to capture the imagination of viewers from all ages, which makes it fun to watch. Yes, this story does involve a typical underdog theme, but it is also about two people meeting each other for the first time. And last but not least, I must mention that Hugh Jackman does put his Hugh-ge Muscles out on display throughout the movie, and Evangeline Lily is a knockout. If these reasons alone aren't enough to spark your interests in seeing Real Steel, maybe the videos above will help to change your mind.

Real Steel will be available at Redbox, Blockbuster, and Amazon.

Wilde, Raunchy, and Romantic: The Change-Up on Blu-Ray and DVD

The Change-Up is a raunchy romantic comedy starring Jason Bateman, Olivia Wilde, and Ryan Reynolds. It has been available on Blu-Ray and DVD since early November of 2011. I am embarrassed to say that as silly and immature as this movie may seem, it still turned out to be pretty funny. Aside from the fact that Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds are cast as a pair of jokesters, this movie is still about a couple trying to make their relationship work. With that being said, I would like to emphasize that there is a fair amount of dirty humor tangled up with all of the romance. Thank heavens for Olivia Wilde, as she really did help to diffuse some of the raunchiness with her beauty. If you are a fan of Jason Bateman in Arrested Development or Ryan Reynolds in Van Wilder, then you may still enjoy this movie despite all of the dirty humor. Otherwise, you may just want to avoid it altogether.

If you are still interested in seeing The Change-Up after reading this review, it is available to rent at Redbox, Amazon, and Blockbuster.

Home Videos From GukaTv

I was doing a routine browse on YouTube a while back and came across this video from GukaTV. This video was too funny to be left alone, so I decided that I would share it in one of my posts. I can't tell if these clips are scripted or not, but the shock value is hilarious.

Since I don't speak Russian I'll just assume it goes something like:
Welcome back to GukaTv. First up, we have a practical joke at work that goes terribly wrong... let's have a look. Wow, that guy really does a good job when he's not sleeping, he should be getting promoted soon, yes?

Next, we have a naughty little boy who just wants some attention. Wow, his communication skills are excellent. He literally charmed the pants right off of her, yes?

(hopefully my interpretation is somewhat accurate)

Happy New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I didn't do anything special to celebrate the New Year aside from going out to dine at a buffet. I originally wanted to go out to brunch, but this particular establishment was not offering pancakes and bacon; so I decided to wait until the dinner buffet. It turned out to be delicious for the most part. Pictured above is some prime rib, pot roast, scalloped potatoes, wild rice, fried shrimp, snow crab legs, pork and veggie filled spring rolls, chocolate cake, and red velvet cake. They also had other things like stuffed shells, mashed potatoes, and fried chicken but I could not fit anymore food into my tiny little body. On the way back from dinner, I had to battle some high winds and dense fog; but I still managed to make it to my destination all in one piece. If there is one thing that I can say after all this, it is that I definitely need to work on my buffet strategy for future occasions. I am still working on my list of New Year's Resolutions, but until then... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
