This is one of the smallest 2 GB memory stick I have seen on the market. I have been using a huge flash drive to carry around with me in my brief case to transfer files at work and other things if needed. I wanted something smaller that I can carry with me every where but those USB key chain type memory seemed slightly bulky for me.

When I found this little piece of memory, I thought it would fit my needs perfectly.

The memory stick is a little thicker then a credit card, it comes with a small rubber pouch which can be used. The pouch itself keeps it protected and doesn’t let it fall out at all. I have been using it for the past few weeks and I am very impressed with it. I use to transfer media files for myself, and documents and important things for work between computers.

It has worked with XP, Vista, and OS X without any issues which really surprised me. One thing I kepted in mind is that when they come this thin they have to sacrifice something and for this memory stick it was speed. Comparison to a normal sized memory stick it is a bit on the slower side but its not that bad. The other part which is slightly annoying is the green color, the 1 GB comes in a nice blue, I wish they had other colors to choose from or something less flashy, but for $50 I’m very happy with it.

This is a thriller movie with Anthony Hopkins playing the genius Ted Crawford of Crawford Engineering! He finds out that his wife is cheating on him and so he plans the perfect way to kill her and get away with it. The person she was having an affair with was a police officer and he wasn’t aware of all the details, when he turns up to the murder scene he finds his lover dead on the floor and things unravel from there. The young attorny played by Ryan Gosling is outwitted by Crawford because of he was distracted with other things, and later it is turned into a battle of wits between Crawford and Beechum (Gosling). Hopkins plays the perfect character in this thriller and you get pulled in more and more looking for all the clues and how things are going to work out in the end. Crawford is arrogant, cunning, sinister, and ingenious that you really want to see whats next. If you like Hopkins then you will really enjoy this movie.

This is the animated movie of Ironman, and I am huge fan of DC and Marvel Comics so I used to read it from a while back and I really enjoyed Ironman. What attracted me to Ironman is because he was the most human and most vulnerable superhero, he is someone you could become, a person who is an everyday person who has problems to deal with like everyone else yet he fights the bigger fights even when he is beat he gets back up. A real hero, he takes all the punches thrown at him and dishes it back. This animated movie had to condense a lot of history of Ironman since his story goes back to the 70s and so they had to modernize the storyline a bit. I didn’t mind the slight modifications since they stuck to main theme of Ironman. The animation was pretty good and I think everyone who was watching was enjoying it since it has a good story and the storyline keeps you entertained. Tony Stark needed more development in my opinion so that you can get the depth of his character and in the comics he is one of the darker heroes and I wish they got that across. A good thing is that they showed all the different types of Iron-man armor with the different technology which was good. A few parts of the storyline felt rushed and I wish they took a little more time to develop it or made this movie into a few different movies with slightly variant storylines, but overall if you like comics then you will enjoy this animation, and if you are a comic purist then you really won’t like it. I really did enjoy it, and I wish there was more to watch.

I have to say that I am not a Nicholas Cage fan, but I was intrigued by the idea of this movie. That a person who can see two minutes ahead and determine whats going to happen to him so he can take action. This is an action paced movie but with an interesting twist. Cage is being chased by the FBI to help them with a search for Nuclear weapon, and he is also being chased by the people who are trying to kill him, but he always seem to barely stay alive. What throws things off is the inclusion of Jessica Biel and it she does play an interesting role in the whole movie. The action was good, and the storyline was pretty good. Overall it was a fun movie to watch, you would want to see it but not own it on DVD.

This is a fantasy story about a girl Auraya who lives in Northern Ithania and she has the talent of magic since she was young. The Circlians are order who believe in Five Gods, and that is why it is called the Age of the Five. They currently dominate Northern Ithania after winning the War of the Gods, and so they are in a peaceful age. She was taught magic when she was young by a Dreamweaver named Leiard. These Dreamweavers are considered heathens by the Circlians since they do not believe in any god, and they have their own ways, they are peaceful yet despised by the Circlians. Auraya has to handle this situation with care since she has been chosen as one of the White, one of the five that lead the Circlians, and she is gifted by the Gods with more powers and she revered by Circlians and Northern Ithanians. With this she also faces one of the strongest foes the Circlians have faced yet the Pentaderians. This book by Trudi Caravan brings your imagination to mind and you keep thinking of all the magic taking place. There is more going on then it seems and even with all the events you still don’t know all that is going on. There are different characters with events taking place that all come into play at a certain point, and this book pulls you in so that you want to know whats going to happen next who is going to win. What happens to Auraya and other threats do they face. This is a very well written story, and Trudi Caravan has done very well with developing the characters for the first book of this trilogy.

Review:

Fans have been waiting to see this movie since its anouncement, and I have to say that its worth the wait. Out of three movies, I think Spider-Man 3 is the best of all the three Marvel movies. When the movie first starts you see the development of Peter Parker’s life and how things have moved forward. There have been a few deviations from the comic story line as to how he became Venom, but only the comic book fans would really notice. I’m not a fan to Tobey Maguire but I have to say that he did a pretty good job playing the troubled Spider-Man. You see the darker side of Spider-Man and how something just don’t always go your way, and he is facing some tough odds. The action sequence is amazing, so many new characters and the old characters have been developed for a very interesting movie. This a movie everyone will like and enjoy with a lot action and you get to see the troubled parts of a heros life.

The movie with Mark Walhberg playing an ex-military sniper. It goes as long in one path, and you see where he is in the whole picture, but then towards the middle everything gets flipped over and his skills as a sniper and trained soldier is what he has to depend on. This movie has an interesting cast of people such as Danny Glover and Rhona Mitra. The movie is always going at a constant pace, but things get interesting towards the middle and you get to piece more things together. A good amount of action with a great story line keeps you on the edge of your seat and I was very satisfied with the conclusion. Overall a great movie to watch and one you have to get as a DVD.

This is an action packed movie with a huge cast following one plot to Kill Buddy Israel. Israel is turning over for the FBI to get away without a scratch, and there are so many people after him. The FBI is always a step behind trying to piece things together. This is one large ensamble who combined together to make for one great movie. There are so many turns you aren’t expecting, and the action just keeps going. The action helps pull the story together, and you just can’t get enough of it. If you liked Ocean’s Eleven or any type of Action movie then you will love this movie.

This is an interesting movie coming from Mathew Perry, he plays Ron Clark who is small town teacher who moves to New York to teach in Harlem and to inspire. This is a true story and suprisingly this is a very good movie for a tv movie. You really feel the genuine feeling among the kids, and how tough they have it. These kids have it rough and for being so young they have lost a lot of their innocence, but Ron dedicates himself to show them all the possibilities and that they are more capable then anyone else. This is a very enjoyable movie, you have this good feeling at the end of the movie.

This is an interesting movie from Daniel Craig playing the role of Dr. Kelso who is a known historian on everything Stalin. This movie starts off with Dr.Kelso giving a lecture on Stalin in a Moscow University and he is part of a group of teachers from Harvard visiting Moscow. And the story starts picking up as it turns out that Stalin has a secret that nobody knows and Kelso is piecing all the parts together but there are people who want that information and those who want to keep the information buried. The pace of this movie keeps getting better, the characters are good as well you really get that feeling of dispair in Russia. It comes to a great end after discovering the secret that has been hidden for so long.
