Thursday, October 30th, 2008

There is no scarcity of new entries to the world of entertainment. Having said this, I have the unique home-theater offering for you right at your wrist. Other might consider you insane seeing you smiling while looking into your watch. But the very knowledge about the functionality of the Home-theatre watch can put them into [...]

Painting Techniques Part 3

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

The last technique is the dry-on-dry technique. Again, work on the last dry space for this. This is actually the easiest because your watercolor paper is dry already and you don’t have to wet the bristles of your brush. But be sure that the bristles of your brush are dry. Put some paint on your [...]

The Two Methods in Mediums

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

I have received a question from someone and it is also a very good question. I just love it when people are beginning to get interested in art.
The question is this: “If there are transparent method and opaque method in watercolor, are these applicable as well to other mediums like oil paint and pastels?”
The answer [...]

Watching Tom

Monday, October 27th, 2008

People can say whatever they want about him and I won’t care. He’s not the greatest actor out there, but he does have depth. In my book, Tom Cruise movies make one hell of a viewing experience!
One of Hollywod’s good comedy movies was also Tom’s biggest break, Risky Business. The 1983 film had Tom playing [...]

Completion From A Thought

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

I love painting and I love going to art exhibits. I would usually visit nearby art galleries and just appreciate all of the art works that were displayed. I took several minutes usually in one painting alone appreciating the artist’s unique style and use of colors.
Style varies. The artworks of Van Gogh are much different [...]

A Day at The Gallery

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

When we visit an art gallery, the viewers of the paintings connect to the creativity and poetic imagination of the painter. The different colors in the painting show the emotion of the artwork.
The painter speaks directly to the viewers through his paintings. The painting, in a literal way, suggests mood and depth but, like music, [...]

Why so serious

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

So does the Joker’s famous statement along with some other wicked lines in the movie “The Dark Knight”. Watching the pure two and a half hour of action, wit and flawless entertainment, the Batman sequel takes a deep dive into one of movie’s iconic psychopathic villain hiding under an ironically scary clown make-up, green hair [...]

iPod’s Newest and Slimmest Nano

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

On September 9, 2008, Steve Jobs introduced Apple’s 4th generation iPod Nano at the “Let’s Rock” event in San Francisco. Dubbed the slimmest Nano ever, it features a curved, all aluminum case and glass screen. Its height, though, is similar to that of the 1st and 2nd generation versions so that this new iPod is [...]

Poochaz’s View on the Dark Knight

Friday, September 19th, 2008

 

If I am to bet which movie of the Batman franchise is the greatest of all time, my hat goes to Batman Begins. And it’s not because Christian Bale’s take on the role is much edgier than Keaton’s, Kilmer’s and Clooney’s. The scriptwriting and the story line are at its best.
Most of the previous [...]

Punisher: War Zone Coming Soon

Friday, September 19th, 2008

While The Punisher is one of my favorite superheroes minus the super powers, The Punisher movie is a shame, hands down. Blame it on bad acting, bad script, and bad overall film management. The movie and the unborn film franchise undoubtedly needs redemption. Of course, it takes another actor, another director, and another plot to [...]
