As a return to blogging, I'm going to start off with a review of a classic movie. I am a fan of an old TV show called Mystery Science Theater 3000, a show about some getting shot into space and forced to watch bad movies. It's better than it sounds. In fact, Time has named it one of the best shows of all time. In 1996, it was given a movie adaptation, aptly named Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie. So when this low budget cult classic show is given a blockbuster film, is it any good? Let's find out.

A Moment in Thought Returns
It's been a while, but I'll be returning to my blog, A Moment in Thought. I never really meant to leave it, it was a lot of fun doing it, but tight schedules get in the way. Hopefully, this time will be just as fun as it was before.
A couple of things will be a little different. I won't fully dedicate a huge blog on a single day. It will happen any day of week. Another thing is I will also have a Tumblr for things I don't have much to say, but something needs to be said. This website will still be my main site, and I will still post articles on The Net Dwellers and also on Manic Expressions, another new thing.
Tonight, I hope to get in a classic movie review and to get something posted on Tumblr. I hope to talk to you all soon. Have a good afternoon.

Monday's Moment: Tweet Your Tetris
As I'm trying to get back into the swing of things, I took a look around Slash Dot for some ideas. One thing I found is this Tetris demo. Click on the link to try it out.

Music Month Wrap-Up
Well, Music Month is over, and it didn't really turn out quite as planned. A couple of things ended up getting in the way, and I wasn't able to get an article in the past week. Everything's okay now, and I'll be able to start writing regularly again.

Skullcandy Skullcrushers
Earlier this month, my headphones broke. I thought this would be a good time to get some really good headphones. I went on Amazon and looked around. I finally narrowed it down to the Skullcandy Skullcrushers. Was it worth the fifty dollars I payed for them? Let' find out.

Monday's Moment: Whitney Houston
As you may of heard, singer Whitney Houston passed away last Saturday. She lived to be forty-eight years old and worked in the music industry for about twenty-five years. She was also an actress, model, and film producer.This will be a short article for the late singer and songwriter.
Whitney Houston started her singing career in 1985 with a self-titled album. While sales were slow at first, they really picked up after her second single and eventually sold twenty-five million copies, generated six singles total, and nominated in four categories at the Grammy's. She ended up winning Best Female Pop Artist out of those four nominations.
Whitney Houston continued on to make six more albums and host many concert tours, world tours, regional tours, and televised tours. She also appeared in multiple movies, commercials, and television shows, including the movie Sparkle which will be releasing later this year. She also produced some movies as well, including both of The Princess Diaries movies.
Whitney Houston will be remembered for many things. I think the one thing she will be most remembered by is singing "I Will Always Love You". The song was originally written by Dolly Parton in 1974, and Dolly's version of it was a slow, simple, and very sensitive song. It goes well with her voice because it's not that strong, but still beautiful nonetheless. Whitney Houston covered the song in 1992. It became one of her best selling singles and won multiple awards including Record of the Year at the Grammy's. While Dolly Parton's original version, as mention before, was soft and sensitive, Whitney Houston's cover was a very powerful ballad that matched the power in her voice. She took a great, meaningful song and revived it. That was the song she was known for, and I think that's the song she will be remembered by.
Whitney Houston was a great singer and songwriter, and it's unfortunate that she has left us. However, her legacy still lives on. Her work as a singer and actress is something to remember, and I think it will.

Circus Galop
This song is for the intense piano player. In fact, I don't think most piano players wouldn't even try to play this song. I believe if you look at the video below, you'll see why.
