tiny17701 says "Bones is a great education and entertainment." about Bones

While some people may find that the program may be too gory of many younger viewers, "Bones" ensures that proper scientific names of body parts, material, and the like are placed in front of the viewer.

"Bones" never talks down to its audience, nor does it talk over their heads. The interpersonal relationships is the thread that pulls the whole thing together. The program doesn't sugar coat the destructive nature of humans, nor does it hide the empathic nature either.

The female leads are strong women who are completely different:

Dr. Brennan - Bones - a forensic anthropologist with poor people skills but still manages to make friends with Angela, a free spirit, and willing, at times, to be shown how sterile life is inside a lab

Angela Montenegro - artist, brings a face to the departed, brings a face to the perpetrator, she is open and friendly and willing to do anything to keep her little "family" together

Cam - a former police officer turned medical...

tiny17701 says "Origins - Wolverine is original!" about X-Men Origins: Wolverine

OMG! I saw this yesterday, I was very impressed with the effort of the producer and director to attempt such a diverse character, such as Wolverine.

Hugh Jackman does his usual fine (okay, fabulous) job inhabiting his role as Wolverine. You really felt for the guy as he went through his life and the horrors he had seen and participated in. You felt the anger and sorrow as he fights with his brother, members of the military, and finally his own teammates.

This movie holds you for the entire time.

There are a few continuity errors that you may discuss with your friends on your way out of the theater, but nothing so glaring that it interrupts the enjoyment. (I will not ruin anyone's enjoyment of this movie for any reason.)

With other systems I find myself sitting for too long a period of time. Eventually, you need to move. With Nintendo Wii, you really need to move. You can sit or stand or both. Even better you are not tethered to the system. If you need to answer the phone, take the controller with you to guarantee that someone won't take your place during the game.

The system was easy to set up, with a minimum of fuss. The instructions were clear, there wasn't too much technical terms inserted to blow your mind or confuse you completely.
