  1. “Lakeview Terrace” was the movie with Sam Jackson as the crazy cop neighbor. Decent flick, I enjoyed it!

    I personally love movies that scare the ever-living piss outta me! It’s rare that a movie will make me jump at shadows, but when they do, I totally love the adreneline high. “The Strangers” (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_strangers/) was the last movie to freak me out. I was glad when the wife decided to come downstairs and watch it with me half-way through, lol.

    “Blowing on the cart” – I’m sure that refers to the old trick with the NES when a game wouldn’t work. You pull it out, blow on the cart and in the NES slot and try again!
