If you haven't seen The River, NBC's newest show, then you should. Just in case, I may touch on some minor SPOILERS, so be warned....Let me first off acknowledge that I fall for the shaky-cam technique the same way Charlie Brown falls for Lucy holding the football; it gets me every time. So when I saw the trailer for The River, a TV series done in that format by the director of the most

I am recently married, as you all know. It's been three and a half amazing months, which still puts me in the newly married column. I am not sure what the exact amount of time is to move you to the 'married' column, but I guess I'll figure that out. Anyway, things have been going really well. Both my bride and I have tried to work really hard at making our relationship the best it can be in

With all these Republican Party talk and Democratic Party talk, it's made me realize politicians (which are all "Washington Insiders") don't really get me, or what I want. It's why I'm proposing a "Nerd Party," and if you want, I'll lead it. Whitehouse in 2014!!!Just in case the name didn't immediately make you change your voting card status, let me lay out the ideas and principles of the Nerd

Before I get going, let me stretch here.... there we go. Still with me? Yep, still no one. Alright, so I haven't done this whole movie writing thing in a long time. I'm not sure if I still know how to do it. I've written a lot about my new wife and my journey to amazing happiness, I figured I would look back on how I started writing, throw it over my shoulder and continue on. So, with that being

October 15, 2011. A day that will live in infamy. The day some dorky little movie nerd found his soul mate and married the love of his life. So, it's a bit dramatic, but hey, I'm a writer! I can't just write "I got hitched, yee haw," they'd take away my license or something. For the past 8 months, I've referred to my significant other on this blog as "my future wife," "fiancee," or "my love," but

Today is the one year anniversary of the love of my life and I becoming an official couple. It's also the day we plan on becoming officially husband and wife. So, as you can imagine, it's a pretty big day. It started with the rehearsal dinner last night. My future wife was terrified, as we went through the motions, as everyone else around us seemed happy and care-free, we were nervous as could be

Or Cuban Hangover. With two weeks left before the big day, it was time for my future brides bachelorette party. Her maid of honor had sent out the invites and planned something big; something drunk; and something very debauchery-ey. Fortunately, she was smart enough to also plan on a hotel. So, here I am, having a weekend to myself as my future wife goes and parties hard on the streets of Ybor.

Welcome to Kevin’s Korner, your first stop for all that is geeky in movies and TV. It’s been a crazy week this week for movies, with Netflix losing their minds, more leaks and some crazy remake news popping out. Also, I’m in the bay area of Florida, so, sports is a tough subject for me this week. On top of that, the countdown is down to four days until I tie the knot, so it’s getting all kinds of

Welcome to Kevin’s Korner! I’m coming off of a surprisingly cool weekend, which in Florida means anything below 90 degrees. There was tons of good football over the weekend, which was awesome, and I have a bachelor party in less than a week. Party on!I just finished re-watching the Doctor Who season finale. I really enjoyed it. While it was somewhat of a letdown, now knowing how the Doctor cheats

With barely two weeks remaining until the big day arrives, there is tons of talk about what we will be doing that day before doing the walking and the vowing and the drinking. One of the things brought up was that I wasn't allowed to see my future wife that day until the wedding march played, and she walked, all dramatic-like towards me, with her wedding dress on. I found it odd that I was

You have brought nothing but sunshine into my life after all the rain and thunderstorms. Thank you for that and I promise to make you the happiest man alive! Peeps Mr. Hopp's blog rock.

Welcome to Kevin's Korner! This week, we have some goodies, so buckle your seatbelts... ok, I guess that doesn't really make sense, given you don't have seatbelts in the office chairs you're sitting in. Anywho, there are some cool things that happened this week, and I'm going to break them all down for you. I'm in the news business, and business is a boomin...Doesn't that blow your mind?! - Over

With a little over a month before the big wedding, we had finally decided to make that huge step in our relationship. You know the one I’m talking about, right? No, not that one! Geez… they don’t allow monkeys in city limits anyway, you sicko. No, I’m talking about having her parents and my parents meet. It’s a big, dangerous, crazy, wacky step, but it must be done. With the wedding looming,

We’re down to 23 days until the biggest day of my life hits me. To say I’m excited would be like saying the Niagara Falls is a little wet, or Shaquile O’Neal is kinda tall. I’m excited for all sorts of reasons, but mostly because it’s the day I get to profess my love for my beautiful fiancée in front of everyone. Interestingly, that point is also the reason why I’m nervous, but that’s normal. I’m

Welcome to another week in Kevin’s Korner. I’m starting to get a feel for this whole news thing, finally. I’m hitting my stride, and I like it! There is tons of news this week, with so many good things going on. I’m still a little hungover from the weekend. I stayed up way too late watching the Emmy’s, and playing with my new Ipad 2, and I am finding it way too hard getting going.I finally saw

Welcome to Kevin’s Korner, your one stop for all that is geeky. I am your host, Kevin Hopp. It’s been a busy few weeks as I get ready for the wedding. We have gotten a lot done, and I spent the weekend with the future in-laws, which was awesome. When everyone is warm and welcoming, it makes everything way easier. My future bride also had her bridal shower, which means we got all kinds of gifts

Welcome to Kevin's Korner! Everything geeky, all the time. As we finish the holiday weekend, we nurse hangovers and bruises and we look forward to the fall season. Before the fall season, there is plenty to talk about. There are Oscar rumors, there is some serious talk about Star Wars, and there are plenty of Avengers rumors. It sure does seem 2012 will be an amazing year for movies, between the

Welcome to another Kevin’s Korner; your one stop for all that is geeky and good (mainly geeky). It’s been a crazy busy week, with weird and bizarre news, price hikes and teaser trailers (oh my). So, take a look at what’s going on, and give me your wonderfully geeky feedback in the comments.

With three months, nearly to the day, this whole wedding thing is really happening. Flowers are being grown, beer and wine are being brewed, food is being planned, and tables are being cleaned. The event I’ve been thinking about since I met my future fiancée is right around the corner now, and that realization picks odd times to hit me.It hit me last night, when we picked up my wedding band.

Every guy has heard this myth; this story; this terrifying of tale, usually around a campfire, with whispers and a shaky voice, the idea that one event can turn a calm, wonderful woman into a snarling, growling, horrible beast known as "Bridezilla." The myth is said to be true, and like a werewolf, things just change and the world will never be the same. I've heard this story, like so many others
