Dane reviews going on hiatus

Greetings followers!

I haven’t forgotten you…life just seemed to get in the way lately.  As such, I’m going on a review hiatus (with the exception of my movie reviews that will appear on http://cinemanerdz.com ) because I have a project gurgling in my belly that is just screaming to get out.

To chronicle this project and my quest to write it, I’ll be setting up a new blog.  Once it’s up and running, I’ll let everyone know.  Thank you for being a friend.  Oh, my first review back will be about ice cream (surprise surprise).

Onward.

Dane reviews Private Selection Strawberry Peppercorn ice cream

I’ve teased a few of my faithful readers for weeks about this ice cream.  Well, the wife and baby are taking naps, the dogs are trapped within the devilish grips of a sun spot, so I’m left here to remember that magical evening where I tried Private Selection Strawberry Peppercorn ice cream.

Strawberry Peppercorn Ice Cream - one of my new favorites!

Dane reviews Sucker Punch – movieretriever.com

A bit of color before I post the review I wrote for movieretriever.com – I was very excited about Sucker Punch.  It seemed like a cool premise, and after seeing what Snyder did with 300 and Watchmen, I was curious to see how Snyder would handle original ideas instead of the adaptations he was used to doing.  For me, his best film pre Sucker Punch was Dawn of the Dead, with 300 being a close second.  Watchmen had many cool moments, but I think Alan Moore’s classic should have never hit the silver screen.

So, what did I think of Sucker Punch?  Click on the link below to find out!

Dane reviews his first year as a dad

One of the coolest things I’ve done in my life is becoming a dad.  My wife gave birth to our lovely baby girl Lily on February 4, 2010.  Now, a few days removed from her first birthday, I’m able to step back and evaluate my first year as a proud poppa.  Well, after thinking about it, I was an awesome dad last year!

The night before Lily was born, my wife woke up at around 1 – 2 in the morning because her water broke.  Great wife that she is, she knew how extremely nervous I was about the next day (Lily was a planned C-Section because she was breech with no option for natural birth), so instead of letting me know, she went back to bed.  Her thought was that the C-Section was scheduled and all they would do was make her go to the hospital early.  So, instead of that, my wife sucked it up and toughed out the contractions.  When she was finally admitted into the room, the nurse on call let Rachel (my wife) know she was having intense contractions that were three minutes apart.  Rachel, of course, knew that, and I was shocked – and became a bigger stress ball.  The one thing we were bummed about with the C-Section was that we wouldn’t get to experience the surprise of when she decided to make her grand entrance – well, she chose after all.

Do you concur?

Dane reviews the common cold

The common cold is annoying.  I wouldn’t recommend getting it.
