Gizmo Project

2.14.2006 — 2 Comments

Okay, so today I talked with my buddy Jason Denniston via my computer and a small program called “Gizmo Project“!

Simply, Gizmo is a free phone for your computer!

Technically, you’re given a SIP # (your own personal 747 area-code #) and you can use that to give to friends and family who ALSO use a program (or another similar program) or a SIP-enabled router and a high-speed internet connection and talk to them FOR FREE.

Sure that’s all good if your friends and family have high-speed internet, but ALSO, Gizmo offers 1-cent-per-minute calling to anywhere in the US! 1-cent-per-minute! WOW!

So – if anyone goes ahead and attempts this wonderful new, “Gizmo”, give me a call – my Gizmo login is “stevan_sheets” and my SIP# is 1-747-638-2466 – theoretically, you could give me a call in my office as soon as you install this program!

Oh how I wish I would’ve known about this while my sister was a million miles away in Bosnia!

MOVIE REVIEW: “The Legend of Zorro” (PG)

2.11.2006 — 4 Comments

Part 1 of tonight’s “in-house date night” included the much-anticipated DVD release of the second Zorro movie – “The Legend of Zorro”.

We thoroughly enjoyed this family-friendly flick. There was definitely more emphasis on humor in this as compared to it’s parent-release, “The Mask of Zorro”, though the characters stay much the same.

Typical “Wild West” story-line mixed with typical “Wild West” gimmicks (train, bullet stopped by cross, guy-gets-girl, good-guys-win) is well proportioned to great acting – ESPECIALLY by newcomer, Adrian Alonso who plays, Joaquin, the son of Mr. & Mrs. Zorro (Banderas & Zeta-Jones).

Again – this is a VERY family-friendly film that will be enjoyed again, I’m sure here in the Sheets’ household!

MOVIE REVIEW: “Man of the House” (PG-13)

2.11.2006 — Leave a comment

For part 2 of tonight’s DVD viewing pleasure, Jess and I enjoyed the comedy, “Man of the House”. In this film, Tommy Lee Jones place a very unique character – a Texas Ranger who is put in charge of a house filled with 5 Texas Longhorn cheerleaders who had witnessed a murder by a bad FBI agent. (some script, huh?)

The movie is funny, entertaining, but lacking in “overall worth”. I am very glad that we rented this one instead of wasting time in the theater.

MOVIE REVIEW: “Luther” (PG-13)

2.9.2006 — 3 Comments

Today I finally took time to watch Luther on DVD. The movie came out way back in 2003, but I finally was told enough times to watch this and bought the DVD on eBay just last week.

It is a GREAT look into some of the church history that I learned about “back in the day” – it is a GREAT portrayal of the story of Martin Luther and the Reformation!

It’s rated PG-13 because of some language (damning satan back to hell and such) as well as some pretty gruesome images of death and destruction.

If you haven’t seen this movie yet and have interest in knowing more about Martin Luther and the Reformation, I would STRONGLY suggest taking time to see it!
