Although there are those who argue that “calories don’t count,” most experts I’ve spoken with — and trust me, I’ve spoken with quite a few — all agree that 3,500 calories equals a pound of fat.
So dieting is easy: all you have to do is reduce your caloric intake by 500 calories a day, and — over time — you’ll find yourself losing about a pound a week.
Sounds easy, right? Your first step is to know approximately how many calories it takes to sustain your weight. That, of course, varies depending on your age, gender and activity level.
So all you need to do to get a precise estimate of what those numbers are, you can enter how many hours you do specific activities at THE CALORIES BURNED CALCULATOR.
The list of activities is pretty expansive, and includes such activities as playing guitar, playing frisbee, brushing your teeth, horse grooming, and mopping. Even sex is broken out to “intercourse” and “foreplay” categories. Yup, they’ve thought of everything!

Rating: 2 out of 5
Rated: PG-13 for action-movie violence, occasional bad language, and Rebecca Stamos naked in silhouette.
Got to watch this one at a morning screening. I’m glad I didn’t waste an afternoon or evening watching this dreck.
A disclaimer: The James Caan edition of Rollerball is one of my favorite movies. Nice homage: in the new one, they keep the classic “Jon-a-than! Jon-a-than!” chant that makes the Caan version awesome.
It’s sort of like the Planet of the Apes remake: it’s not awful, and it’s intended to stand on its own. But the originals in both cases were so much more inspired.
The first one: The game was easy to follow and understand. Skaters go around the rink, pick up the ball, and slam it into the scoring pod. Can be shown with one camera.
The new one: The game is on a figure-8 track (left over from RollerGames? Where’s the alligator pit?) with a bunch of hampster habittrails and ramps and stuff. You never get a good sense of how the game is played or who any of the team players are (or which team they’re on).
The plotlines are similar: the game is run by The Corporation and Jonathan tries to figure out his role in the game. Not a bad updating of the plot; the execution should have been done MUCH better.
There are a ton of bad directing choices in the film, but a lot of action scenes were cut; expect to see them uncut on the DVD.

Rated PG-13 for language and brief implied violence
For comparison purposes, a buddy of mine is giving it 3 out of 5. He was apparently feeling more generous than I was tonite.
It’s three parts One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, two parts Starman, and one part Risky Business.
I really enjoyed the show up to the half-way point, where it became another dull, boring analytical-type movie. Very “vanilla”.
Is it a good date film? Sure. It’s not romantic or anything, it’s just not offensive. It’s just…. bleh.
Rating: 2 out of 5
Rated R for action-movie violence, a little gore, profanity, and a topless Halle Berry.
The answer: Swordfish.
The question: What do you get when you cross Die Hard, Speed, Dog Day Afternoon, and The Net?
A spectacular opening sequence that out-Matrixes The Matrix may draw applause in your theatre, but the rest of the movie doesn’t continue the excitement. John Travolta turns in an almost reasonable performance, but unfortunately seems to have fallen into the Nick Cage School of Walking through a Role.
It’s not unwatchable tripe, and in many ways has some value as a summer popcorn muncher. It just could have been so much better than it is. Luckily, all the computer/hacker sequences are believable (for 2001). If only we had a solid character (either on the good team or the evil team) to cheer for. Instead, we get a mish-mash of characters we don’t totally care for one way or the other.
(to be honest, while walking out, I stuck my head into Moulin Rouge in the next theatre just so I would be reminded of what “summer movie spectacle” is all about — ’cause Swordfish isn’t it.)
Rating: a strong 2 out of 5 (Just couldn’t give it a 3. Wanted to, but….)
Rated PG-13 for adult situations (there’s a lot of talk about prostitutes and what they do). No nudity. No profanity.
This movie is a spectacle – stunningly beautiful sets, creative camera work and editing. This movie LOOKS gorgeous. But is it a comedy? Mostly. A drama? In places. A musical? Definitely. A love story? Depends on your point of view, but signs say yes. It will help significantly if you know your late 70’s music.
The premise sounds corny: let’s make a movie where 90% of the dialogue is made from various clips of song lyrics. In some cases, we’ll have the actors sing the songs too! It’ll be loads of fun, especially if we can thrown in some interpretive dance numbers too!
Here’s the problem: 9 times out of 10, it works great. Funny when it’s supposed to be, poignant at other times. Baz Luhrmann has sliced-and-diced an interesting plot in and out of the various songs very well (sunscreen, anyone?). The problem is that the movie drags at every moment in-between these wonderful set pieces. So you’ll be laughing and enjoying the film for 15 minutes, then bored for 5, then happy again for 10 minutes, then bored for 10 minutes while they set up the next big musical production number.
Every moment that I has happy and laughing, I could see giving this movie a 3. Unfortunately, there were just one or two more boring parts than necessary, which forced me to give it a 2.
Will this do well? With the teenager groups (especially girls), yes. It’s a good date movie, as it talks all about love and loss and has music you can tap your foot to. It should do well at the box office… assuming that the critics don’t totally blast the Baz film “style”. Oh yeah – if you’re not a fan of “unique film style” and hate those types of movies, then you’ll probably hate this one too.
