Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Okay, I said that I wasn’t going to see this movie. But I was bored, so I went and saw it anyway.

It turned out to not be as bad as I thought it would be. Not the best Star Wars movie, but better than The Star Wars Holiday Special.

I liked the antics of the stupid battle droids. I liked the new character, Ahsoka Tano. She was a good sidekick to Anakin Skywalker. And Jabba's son did not bother me. But, two hours to rescue the kid? This would have been better as a one hour TV episode.

Also, I really don't care what Anakin is up to, since we know he turns into Darth Vader. How about some movies about the events that happen after Return of the Jedi?

So, save your money. Don’t bother with this movie.

The Next Numa Numa Video?

This video gets my vote for the next Numa Numa song. The song is "Bahama" by the Iceland singer Ingó og Veðurguðirnir. Here is Kristrún lip singing and Gagga dancing to the song. They are from Iceland. It's a catchy song.

From: rak126

Death Race

I saw the Death Race movie the other day.

Will you like the movie?

- Did you see the original movie, Death Race 2000?

- Did you like the main character, David Carradine, in Death Race 2000?

- Did you like Tyrese Gibson's character in 2 Fast 2 Furious?

- Did you like Joan Allen’s character in The Borne Supremacy?

- Did you like Jason Statham in the Transporter movies?

- Do you like movies of car races, and gun battles?

Then you will like this movie. It has all of that in it. And explosions, too.

The plot is basic. In the future, they have a death race in a prison. If you survive, and win, five races, you win your freedom. The race is televised in the Internet for profit, so as you can guess, people die in the race off of the time.

Hence, they need a new Frankenstein when the old one (voiced by David Carradine) is killed in a race at the beginning of the film. So they set up as Jensen Ames (Jason Statham), a down on his luck former race car driver, for murder, and get him transferred to the prison. He is told to race as the Frankenstein if he ever wants to see his little girl again.

It’s not a very serious movie, but neither was the original movie, Death Race 2000. It’s a fun movie to watch.

Iceland's Current Top 20 Popular Songs

The Olympics are now over. I thought I would compile a few more lists of the top 20 hit songs around the world. Yesterday was Mexico; today is Iceland. Here is the Iceland Top 20 list for the week ending August 23, 2008. I found the list at: www.tonlist.is.

I only know English. It was hard to find Icelandic videos, since I do not know the language. Where I could not find a video for the song, I substituted another song from the band, and included a clip from the song.

Soulcalibur Legends

I picked up Soulcalibur Legends for the Wii the other day. It's okay, but not as good as the rest of the series. But, at least I get to swing the Wii Controller around to fight! I hope that they release Soulcalibur IV for the Wii later this year.

I found a walkthrough for the game. If I get stuck, I will use it.

Soulcalibur Legends on the Nintendo Wii: Walkthrough, Part 1

This edition of the Soulcalibur Legends walkthrough will focus on getting you through the beginning aspects of the game. After a few minutes of play time, you will soon defeat your first boss and be that much closer to the end.

Another Way to Use Your Wii Remote Controller

markinraleigh has attached his Wii Mote to a spring horse. I would try this myself, but I would probably hurt myself trying to play the Wii while on a spring horse! :)

I modified a glovepie script to tweak the amount that we would have to lean side to side or forward/back. I will post the script in next day or so for those who have requested it.

Due to the overwhelming popularity of this video, I have created the following site to answer questions or dispel myths, please go to www.wiimotehorse.tumblr.com



One of my boys playing need for speed using a spring horse, with a wii mote attached to it, as a controller.

NES Mods

It's cool when people take old hardware and make new uses for it. Here some people have modified old Nintendo systems.
