Liza and I went to see “The Happening” this afternoon.  Pretty Good, not as good as “The Sixth Sense” and “Signs”, but very M Night.  This movie is directed, written, and produced by  M. Night Shyamalan.  Those of you who have seen his other movies know he is “Twisted” and “Sick” in the head to say the least!  The Happening is no different.  I am not here to give away any of the movie’s secrets but I think most who have seen the Trailer for this film can just tell it is totally M Night-esque.  The main charachter is Mark Wahlberg supported by Zooey Deschanel.  Again, not to give away the movie, Mark plays Elliot Moore a school teacher who follows and preaches science religiously.  Zooey plays his wife, and John Leguizamo plays Elliot’s best friend Julian.  The cast is good, but not great.  I would’ve liked to seen a little bit more content in this movie.  It was only 90 minutes in length and I think if they added just another 20-30 minutes of content to get into things a little bit more it could’ve been an Excellent flick.  I’ll let the critics tell you whether to see this movie or not, but if I was asked if it was absolutely necessary to see this film in the theatre, I would say catch in on DVD.  Unless you are a crazed M Night fan, you aren’t going to be dissapointed paying matinee prices.  Liza said the movie was very “I am Legend” like and I think I have to agree with her.  Again, “I am Legend” was a very short film and they could’ve made the film better adding another 20-30 minutes of movie film.  Overall, I would give this movie a 2 1/2 out of 5 Stars calling it an everage film.  Maybe the DVD release will add some more film to this movie to make it a bit better.  But I can’t justify to myself saying that I would go see this movie again or tell a friend that you have to see this in the theatre.  Maybe I am right, maybe I am wrong…but it’s just my opinion really, which doesn’t matter to anyone but me.  Feel free to discuss this movies below and tell me how you felt about “The Happening”.

PogMan.com has a new theme.  I wanted to give a special “Thank You” to Bryan Hauer and his crew over at OmniThemes for offering a brilliant theme at an excellent and affordable price.  These days it is so much easier to publish a website and get it up and running for minimal costs thanks to people like Bryan and non-profit organizations like WordPress.  This site is still far from having all the content that I want on it but now that I have found a theme, a hosting company, and WordPress, I am well on my way.  Please keep checking back as I am updating content and stuff on a daily basis.  I would also like to give a special “Thanks” to Mike at OmniThemes for his technical support and for working on my Logo for PogMan.com.  He is working on it as I type this message and hopefully we have the Logo up and running on the site this evening.  Later all-

PogMan-

Hello everyone.  This is the official 1st post of the new and improved PogMan.com.  I just wanted to write a little somethin, somethin.  If you are new to visiting the site, it’s still in the creation phase and there will be much more content to come!  I plan on adding a wedding tab, and a World Ventures tab eventually.  As any one knows who has put together a web site, it doesn’t create itself, and it definitely doesn’t get put up overnight.  I want to thank wordpress.com for the wonderful style sheet and theme that this site is built on.  And also for making it so much easier to get a site up and running these days.  Oh, the technology - Where it has Gone, Been, and Where it is Going!  For those of you wondering what World Ventures is?  It is a part time business that I am involved in, and it can be very lucrative.  Once I get the ball rolling in full force and get this site where I want it, there will be much more to come on World Ventures.  You’ll just have to keep coming back to PogMan.com to find out!  I also wanted to give a Shout-Out and a huge Thanks to the folks over at OLM for hosting PogMan.com.  They are actually a Connecticut based hosting company who have been around for a little over 12 years now.  They started off very small, but are growing at a rapid pace and have “Excellent” Customer Support and and outstanding staff to help with questions about hosting a web-site.  So if you are shopping for a host, to take care of your hosting business like it should be taken care of.  Check out there web-site or give them a call with any questions you might have.  As far as I’m concerned, there isn’t much better out there.  And anyone who knows me, knows that when I do something I research the hell out of it!  I used this company the last time I had my site up, they were great then, and even Better now!  Well, that’s it for now.  Enjoy the site!
