Sushi A-Go-Go

Yesterday I had a little father/daughter time with my kid and we went to, what is now my new favorite restaurant, Sushi Umi. I had pasted by the place many times and always seemed to eat sushi at Ichibon instead, and the last time I did try to stop here it was closed for the season. So yesterday we went into Terre Haute and stopped to eat. I have to say that I was very impressed. It is small with only about 10 tables and the counter and a small tea room off to the side. the very extensive menu offers many Japanese favorites from sushi to a nice loaded Bento box.
I had a very nice selection of sushi, including some delicious Eel and Sea Urchin. My daughter had the Bento box with Teriaki chicken. The Bento included the chicken, chefs veggie, tempura shrimp, tempura squash, 6 pieces of Cali roll and Miso soup. And to finish it off, some green tea ice cream. The presentation is wonderful. the table next to us ordered a large sushi combo and it was served in a ornate boat model. I would give Sushi Umi a 5 star rating for great food and very reasonable price.

For fun I posted the below Sushi "Documentary" it is very funny and should help you enjoy your Sushi experience.

A Lizard,,,Where??? and some Movie News

Let's start this entry off with some viewer mail. A reader, whom I shall call "Little Kyle", from Indiana asked about the Lizard being in Spider-Man 3 because there is a lizard toy in the new Spider-Man 3 toy line posted on Hasbro. Well "Little Kyle", I have done alot of digging and there appears to be no Lizard in S3. Yes the Doc is in the movie a little more than the last two, but it doesn't look like the old one-arm-doc will be going reptile on us yet. I believe Rami has his hands full with Sandman and Venom and the surly Aunt May. The toy showing up in the new line could be just the fact that they have the character rights, why not make a toy. The same can be seen in the new Ghost Rider line with the Scarecrow figure that never appeared in the movie, and in countless other lines. I did notice that there is no Aunt May figure in the new S3 line. She could have super-geriatric action and Ben Gay smell. Thanks for your question "Little Kyle" and thanks for reading.



While we are on Spider-Man. Sony has released the final S3 trailer in connection with Comcast. The new trailer really gives us lots of new views of the movie and some great Venom shots.....Finally. The May release date is coming on fast and it looks like the movie won't disappoint us. You can view the new trailer HERE.



Another new trailer to come out is for Disneys Pirates of the Caribbean : At Worlds End. The trailer is of coarse awesome, as all of the Pirates trailers have been. Lots of quick action, CG shots and little doses of comedy. Some of the visuals are truly amazing, including the 2 ships fighting inside a whirlpool, the ship crossing the desert and a sword battle in the ship masts between Cap Jack and Davey Jones. Check it out (all formats can be found) HERE. They also have a short scene from the movie.

WATCHMEN Peek in 300 Trailer.

Movie and Comic Geekdom is all aflutter today with the release of the r-rated 300 trailer that appeared on YouTube. The trailer of coarse is amazing, and I saw the moie last night it it is truly a great movie (we will cover that later), but the big interest is the brief image inserted at the 1 minute 52 second mark of the trailer. That image is no other than Rorshach from the Watchmen series that is supposed to by Director Zach Snyders next project. He has stated that it is just a test image, but come-on,,,,it is way cool. It will probably be done like 300 and Sin City with heavy use of green screen. Zac Snyder will definatly be the director to pull this project off. After the remake of Dawn of the Dead, and now the amazing 300, he has solidified himself as one of the best new directors in town.

So here it is, our first look at Watchmen made flesh (or test-flesh if you will)
