About lmb3

I’m 36 years old, and I work in network tech support for a public school system. I am a huge fan of Star Trek, Transformers, Harry Potter, and Marvel Comics as well as numerous other fandoms. I’m a big sports fan, especially the Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots. I collect toys (mostly Transformers but other stuff too), comic books, and Red Sox baseball cards. I watch an obscene amount of television and love going to the movies. I am hopelessly addicted to Wizard Rock and I write Harry Potter Fanfiction, though these days I am working on a couple of different original YA novels.

This blog is going to be short, mainly because three of these games are such easy picks, that there is not much to think about. Saints at 49ers – I would LOVE to pick San Francisco in this game, but … Continue reading →

Posted on January 7, 2012 by lmb3

The NFL playoffs will get underway today (in about 30 minutes, actually).  I love football, though I will admit to being no expert.  (I’m still not completely sure where the line between a well defended pass and pass interference is.)  … Continue reading →

Blog #48: Movie Review: Colombiana

Posted on December 30, 2011 by lmb3

I decided to skip Colombiana when it was in theaters.  While I did enjoy it, I don’t regret that decision. Spoilers ahead. Zoe Saldana plays Cataleya.  As a young girl, she witnessed her parent’s brutal execution in Bogota.  She grows … Continue reading →

Blog #47: Movie Review: Red Riding Hood

Posted on December 28, 2011 by lmb3

I never did see this one in theaters, but I saw it on television this week.  It was okay.  It could have been better, but could have been worse too.  Starring Amanda Seyfried, Gary Oldman, Billy Burke, Shiloh Fernandez, Max … Continue reading →

Blog #46: Movie Review: War Horse

Posted on December 27, 2011 by lmb3

While I enjoyed War Horse, I think it is over hyped.  It will likely win Best Picture at the Oscars, but I don’t think it should.  It was well worth seeing though. Lots of major spoilers ahead.  I am literally … Continue reading →

Blog #45: Movie Review: The Adventures of Tintin (Great Snakes!)

Posted on December 27, 2011 by lmb3

I must confess, I know nothing about the comic book this movie is based on, so I can’t compare it.  What I can say is that the animation is absolutely incredible…nothing really special there.  Amazing computer animation like this is … Continue reading →

Blog #44: Movie Review: Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

Posted on December 27, 2011 by lmb3

Tom Cruise may be one weird dude, but he’s a hell of an actor.  I enjoyed the first three Mission Impossible Movies.  The first was a worthy successor to the famed television series, but I didn’t enjoy any of them … Continue reading →
