Man this week has been rough. First my Sennheiser HD-202 Headphones died (the ones I'm always pictured with) and now I have to get a new pair. I think I'm going with a pair of Koss Porta Pros, recommended by CNET. Just have to wait for my tax refund to come in, garrr.
Also our heat pump is frozen over so we've had to build a fire in our basement stove just to get the house temperature up to 60 Degrees F. So I've spent most of the morning wrapped up in blankets and not watching movies and doing reviews.
So I'm now behind, having to watch The Secret Life of Bees before supper. God it's been a hard week. Things are going to get better though.
I've got my mobile friendly version of my site at m.tabfilm.net and I've got my main site at tabfilm.net, so be sure to update your bookmarks (all 5 of you). Man this week has sucked. And to top it off I'll be 29 in 4 days. God help us all...

Eden Lake Mini-Review
I didn't even finish this movie so I won't give it a proper review. I stopped it when the main character did something so stupid that my interest in the movie was permanently revoked.
When trouble is visited upon you, that is one thing, but when trouble appears and we go looking for it, we get what we deserve. Such a movie is Eden Lake.
Two lovers make their way to a soon to be developed flooded rock quarry and look to spend a romantic weekend away. They are interrupted by a gang of 12 year old hoodlums who insist on playing loud stereos and being little pricks. The gang moves along and when the lovers head back to their car someone has placed a glass bottle behind their rear tire. It of course pops and they have to use the spare.
Now, rather than go to the cops, or even just go home. Our heroes had back into town and find our hooligans hanging out at their home. So the man just goes on in the house, apparently to have a show down with these kids.
This is so remarkably stupid that whatever happened to him or her was really not interesting to me. I just turned the movie off. I'm going to watch something else instead.

Search Engine Blues
Damn getting a search engine to work is a pain in the ASS! I'm using the google search but I'm having a hell of a time getting results. I'm having my page indexed and trying to make something happen. I didn't think it would be this hard. I'm giving up for tonight, try again tomorrow. Hell, I might even watch a movie.
At least the site is browsable and as far as I know the links work. there's a few I need to work on, some broken deep links. I'm determined to finish though. As soon as I get this working it will be easier for future iterations. I just didn't know that setting up a website would be such a Herculean effort.
Thank the gods I have this blog that is so nice and easy to use. While I wait for my site to index. Christ this is a nightmare. I just want to watch movies. And write about them. I'm just too damn poor to hire someone who knows what they're doing.
Hang in their faithful readers. We'll get it going.
PS: Anybody else think it's funny that spellcheck doesn't recognize Google in lowercase?
