Dinner for Schmucks
This was a hard movie to watch. It just made me cringe every time the character made more of a mess to try to cover the mess made in the previous scene. The director made quite a masterpiece in eliciting all kinds of emotions: anger, pity, sorrow and humor all right after each other.

Another radio app – now with background play
This radio app is nothing ground breaking in tuning or layout design, in fact its a little more cluttered feeling than some of the other cleaner apps like Pandora or Last.FM.
However, this beauty shines in the fact it can stream music in the background while you work on other apps. This is something the clean boys can’t do yet. Check it out!

Blood and bone
I always enjoy Jay White’s movies and his fighting styles and sequences have a uniqueness to them that makes his movies different from other fight movies. This movie has that uniqueness but a very flimsy storyline makes it easy to browse through rather than really enjoy.

Word Lens – translation on the fly, and in place
A very cool iPhone App that allows you to use the camera and see translated text in real time and in place. Its very cool when you first try it.
So far its only for Spanish and while the app is free to buy, u must buy the Spanish dictionary for 4 bucks. That decision may ruin the chances of this little app to become popular and ultimately financially successful for the producers. Paying 4 bucks a language for an app you might use once in a while is just not in the main tradition of the 0.99 apps for trivial tasks that iTunes is famous for.
