Eden Eternal
http://edeneternal.aeriagames.com/
Not to be confused with Eternal Eden, but the names are sort of close.
Anime-style graphics.
Cute trailer.
I could not find the system requirements.

The Man from Laramie
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048342/
Jimmy Stewart in a Western classic.
Not one of my favorites but well worth watching.
Jack Elam and Arthur Kennedy are both good in supporting roles.
Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy
http://www.abbottandcostello.net/
One of my favorite Abbott & Costello movies and one of my favorite Mummy movies.
Worth watching over and over.
Red Riding Hood
We saw Red Riding Hood this afternoon.
Dark, scary, and violent considering the PG-13 rating.
Amanda Seyfried, Virginia Madsen, and Julie Christie were all good.

The Blues Brothers Movie Soundtrack CD
http://www.amazon.com/Blues-Brothers-Original-Soundtrack-Recording/dp/B000002J5K
Peter Gunn Theme, Theme from Rawhide, Minnie the Moocher, and Sweet Home Chicago are excellent tracks.

Straitest
Latest Greatest Straitest Hits by George Strait
Weepy, dreary, and largely forgettable modern country music.
Particularly ironic because the second track, "Murder on Music Row," laments the passing of traditional country music.
Lucky for me, I listened to the library copy instead of buying it.

Hyborian War
http://amrathelion.com/Hyborian-Reviews/Review-of-%E2%80%9CHyborian-War%E2%80%9D-by-Reality-Simulations-Inc.html
I am amazed bordering upon stupification that the PBM game is still going after decades.
The Last Straw
http://www.boingboing.net/2011/03/08/board-game-that-teac.html
A board game about the social determinants of health.

Hyperion
http://www.keepingthedoor.com/2009/10/28/dan-simmons-hyperion-review/
Gushy review of the Dan Simmons novel.
I am not sure any novel can live up to the expectations generated by a review like this.
Elric
http://www.stormbringer.net/elric.html
Michael Moorcock's anti-hero is one of my all-time favorite characters.

Sounds like science fiction.
Would be truly excellent if it were confirmed.

Rango
We saw Rango tonight.
Fun movie but I would have preferred more rude talk, smoking, and killing.
Good soundtrack.
And a lot of humorous moments.
I laughed so hard I almost suffered incontinence.

The Adjustment Bureau
http://movies.nytimes.com/2011/03/04/movies/04adjust.html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha28
Very loosely based on the Philip Dick story.
I probably will not see it until it comes out on DVD.
