I got the movie Popeye as a Christmas gift last year but never sat down to watch it because I’ve seen it before and, even though I couldn’t remember much about it, I remembered it wasn’t the best movie ever.

I had to see what all the hype was about. “Benjamin Button” was THE talked-about film of the year: critics raved about the film, and it was nominated for all kinds of awards.
The premise was strange and unique: a baby boy is born old, and grows younger throughout his …

The fifth episode of the first season of Stargate SG-1 was called “The First Commandment”. Frankly, it’s not a big favorite of mine, though it has some fun moments to it.
