Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Ultimate Collection Volume 1

Yeah... As a TMNT fan, I have to have this. A hard cover collection of some of the original Ninja Turtle comics will tie me over til the new movie (2014) and animated series (2012) comes out.

Batman: Arkham Asylum

First, play Batman: Arkham Asylum before playing Batman: Arkham City. Its a great way to understand how it feels to play Batman in the game.

John Carpenter's The Thing

This movie does show its age. But, that scene with the head is too creepy. The new Thing better deliver as a creepy, scary movie.

Pirates of Silicon Valley

This movie about the lives of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates and the development of Apple, Inc. and Microsoft.

Steve Jobs Passed Away Yesterday

The co-founder of Apple, Inc. was 56 years old.

What I did not know about Jobs was that he bought Pixar Animation Studios. So if Jobs didn't believe in a little animation company, then no Toy Story?
