TV-Show Review: Studio 60

By Jon Magne | Published: August 30, 2007
I first began watching Studio 60 in December 06, at which point I managed to get my hands on the first half of the season. Naturally I loved it to ten thousand x ten thousand pieces and immediately rated it as one of the very best comedy/drama shows I’ve ever had the good fortune of [...]

When F5 Fails

By Jon Magne | Published: August 28, 2007
Sorry for not being here more than I have lately. It seems that life has gotten in the way (which should surprise those of you who know me) and I find it harder and harder to make time enough to bog myself down in front of this shining screen. Things are also a lot slower [...]

The Number 23

By Jon Magne | Published: August 25, 2007
Are you obsessed with numbers? I know I am, and that’s partially why I defied the critics and decided to give Jim Carrey’s new film a try. The word was that it was a very mediocre psychological thriller and that not seeing it wouldn’t impact your life in any other way than the fact that you’d [...]

Schoolastic Pride

By Jon Magne | Published: August 23, 2007
Which begs the question, why am I proud? Well, it’s simply because I just received some very fun trivia about my primary school. There has been a nationwide quality test of all the primary schools, and my school in little county of Nord-Trøndelag, came in at second place overall and first in our region! How cool [...]

Fool Moon by Jim Butcher

By Jon Magne | Published: August 22, 2007
Fool Moon is the second book in the Dresden Files series and it’s a direct sequel to Storm Front, the previously reviewed novel about the wizard detective Harry Dresden. If you so happened to read said review, you would know that I found the first installment in the series a nice, quick read. Sorta like [...]

Torture Tomorrow

By Jon Magne | Published: August 20, 2007
What seemed like an eternity in June is now ancient (well, actually recent) history and school is no longer out. Tomorrow I start what is promised to be the most difficult and laborious high school year of all. Tomorrow is the start of yet a never-ending lifetime of dreary classes with boring [...]

Where Has My Lotta Gone?

By Jon Magne | Published: August 19, 2007
No worries, people – your dear blogger has not been eaten by an insatiable Grue. He has, however, been very busy with working and trying hard not to take all my suppressed anger out on the poor sausage-eating customers. I’m quite proud of the fact that I have now been civil towards people for over [...]

Fanastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer

By Jon Magne | Published: August 14, 2007
Sometimes you just have to contradict every sensible voice inside your head and watch something you know probably sucks beyond belief. These voices were with me when I watched the first film in the Fantastic Four series, which was very mediocre, and they were yelling that I couldn’t be in my right mind if I [...]
