Posted on Friday, May 04 th, 2012 at 2:21 pm by Double DDouble D’s Daily Dose: Top 5 Star Wars Related Memories from My Childhood
May the fourth be with you! I decided for Star Wars Day I’d do another top 5, but one that’s much more personal and subjective. You know, because top 5 lists are usually so objective. So, this is a list of my top 5 favourite childhood memories related to Star Wars. Yay, anecdotes! #5: Playing Shadows of the Empire for N64 at my cousin’s house. When I was younger there was this magical place called Blockbuster where you could go and rent movies and video games. It was great! You...

Posted on Thursday, May 03 rd, 2012 at 7:14 pm by Double DDouble D’s Daily Dose: Movie Top 25: #23 – Die Hard
Alright, let’s talk about Die Hard! Yes! I love this movie! Seriously, Die Hard is too cool to not talk about. Where do I even start? How about we start with Mr. John McClane? He is the ultimate down-to-Earth nine-to-five hero. He’s the everyman and maybe that’s why people like him so much. It’s hard to relate to James Bond, it’s easy to relate to John McClane, a man with no shoes on, totally out of his element and feeling like a loser as he desperately tries to win his wife back. He...

Posted on Wednesday, May 02 nd, 2012 at 2:07 pm by Double DDouble D’s Daily Dose: The Pirates! Band of Misfits Review
I really like Aardman. They’ve created pretty consistently entertaining claymation movies and I’m rarely disappointed with the outcome, from Chicken Run to Wallace and Gromit. So, when I first started seeing ads for The Pirates! Band of Misfits almost a year ago I was naturally excited for another exciting entry in the roster of films by the studio that could easily be called Britain’s Pixar. The strange thing is how long it took this movie, which I assumed would be coming out in early 20...

Mike “The Birdman” Dodd returns with a second episode of the RAD Retro Hunt and this time we are on the look out for whatever we can find. The signs are all around Birdman that the retro roots have run near dry from his usual haunts of Kijiji and Craigslist and so he resorts to…THE FACEBOOK! We search high and low with a limited budget for the retro games that have laid dormant in closets or buried under beds and more. The hunt take us from Birdman’s backyard and all t...

I know I’m spamming this mission trip thing, but I don’t care. I’m hosting a benefit dinner to raise money, awareness and spiritual support for my upcoming construction support efforts in the Republic of Moldova through Operation Mobilization Canada. I’ll also be hosting a presentation to let you know where is Moldova, why Moldova, what will I be doing in Moldova, etc… Here’s the details in case you actually want to come out and meet ME, the famous Double D!

Posted on Monday, April 30 th, 2012 at 2:52 pm by Double DDouble D’s Daily Dose: Movie Top 25: #24 – The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Here’s my top 25 review for #24 on my list, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Now, you may think that because I put The Two Towers so low on the list that I don’t like it very much. This is not true. In fact, I love The Two Towers. I just happen to love the other two Lord of the Rings movies a little bit more. However, like I said before, I love them all enough to reserve three spots for them on this list. No other trilogies get that privilege, even Star Wars (mostly because I don...

Hey guys, Double D comin’ at ya with a shorter blog than usual. That’s because this is an introduction to something new I figured I’d try out. Welcome to Radvice! This is going to be my advice column. I’ll try and answer as un-ironically as possible. Try. I’ve toyed with the idea of making this an actual podcast with a co-host (preferably female) at some point, but let’s see how it fares as a blog first. So, basically how it works is you send me your problems, questions, queries, etc...
