I think the headline says it all. Every once in awhile a pop cultural phenomena happens that’s impossible to ignore. I really have nothing constructive to say about today’s release of Call of Duty 2: Modern Warfare. I don’t have the game in my hot little hands yet. I pre-ordered it from Amazon, but then […]

MOVIE REVIEW: The Fourth Kind – Cynical, Manipulative Tripe!
Everything that the ultra-low budget did right, The Fourth Kind gets wrong. The mawkish, amateurish Paranormal Activity felt more real by doing very little, but timing it well and giving us characters we could care about – even if they weren’t the brightest bulbs on the chandelier. The Fourth Kind purports to be a combination […]
MOVIE REVIEW: The Men Who Stare At Goats Made Me Laugh!
Grant Heslov’s The Men Who Stare at Goats opens with the disclaimer: More of this is true than you would believe. Based on the non-fiction book of the same name, it is a film that looks at the U.S. Armed Forces’ attempts to explore the possibility of using paranormal abilities for war. The framing story […]
Blu-ray Review: UP, Best Movie of the Year is One of the Best Blu-ray Releases of 2009
I’ll admit I didn’t see Up in the theater. By the time it was released I was burned out on 3D Animated films and frankly I’m not a big Pixar fan. I know that’s blasphemy to say. While I can appreciate the technical brilliance of the films and the obvious love and care that Pixar […]

You spin me right round, baby, right round.
Blu-ray Review: G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, Most Disappointing Blu-ray Release of 2009
I don’t know what the folks at Paramount are doing these days. First they wouldn’t screen GI Joe: Rise of Cobra for critics during it’s summer run, now they’ve taken it a step further by not sending out review copies of the DVD/Blu-ray to critics – and why should they? The movie still went on […]
Television: Sophia Bush Takes Over One Tree Hill Director’s Chair
First it was veteran One Tree Hill actor James Lafferty who took over as director in the S7.07 episode “I and Love and You”, which ironically enough was also a very pivotal episode in the seventh season storyline for his character Nathan Scott. This coming Monday another One Tree Hill actor takes over the directing […]
MOVIE REVIEW: Disney’s A Christmas Carol Is No Humbug!
Disney’s A Christmas Carol surprises in that not only is it a wonderful film, it doesn’t actually dress up the tradition Dickens tale with too much action movie fooferaw. By now, what with everyone from Mr. Magoo to Tim Curry having played the humbugging Dickens miser, Ebenezer Scrooge, there are very few people who don’t […]
On DVD: 70 Years Later and Gone With the Wind is Still Going Strong!
Gone with the Wind 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collectors Edition coming to DVD, Blu-Ray and Digital Download on November 17th Shot in three-strip Technicolor, Gone With the Wind is arguably cinema’s greatest, star-studded, historical epic film of the Old South during the Civil War. Yet it is more than a war movie, at the heart of […]
