Ah, it’s Tuesday night and time for the train wreck known as American Idol. As I said in a previous post, I watch Idol in the hopes that there will be that one special moment that wows me. I’m not holding my breath for it, but I’m hope springs eternal. They really are desperate for […]
DVD REVIEW: JCVD Earns JCVD Some Genuine Respect!
For some reason, I can’t get this little bit of meta filmmaking out of my mind. Maybe it’s because Jean-Claude Van Damme comes across as a real person in this tale of a just-past-his-prime C-list martial arts star getting caught up in a hostage situation while tying to get the money to pay his lawyer […]
TELEVISION: American Idol Does Rat Pack Tonight
Ok, I know I keep saying I’m through with this show, but there’s nothing else on television on Tuesday nights. What am I going to do? Watch Reaper? No, no matter how much I try I can’t get into that show and the fact that it’s doomed doesn’t make me want to make an emotional investment in […]

In the past I’ve always let folks post whatever comment they wanted on the site, no matter how vile or offensive and I would happily sink to your level and respond in kind, but you know what? Now that people are posting again, I’m changing the rules. I run Eclipse for fun and I want […]
MOVIE REVIEW: Obsessed – Fatal Attraction of the 21st Century
A brief office encounter between an executive and his new temp turns into one of the well-done stalker movies of our time. Derek Charles has it all. A new house in the suburbs, a lovely wife, a young son, and a great job as an asset manager who has just been promoted within his company. […]
BLU-RAY REVIEW: Michelle says Maybe to Yes Man!
Yes, yes, yes! I missed Yes Man when it came out in the theaters, wanted to see it but never got around to it. It came out on the old Blu-ray a few weeks ago and I finally got a chance to watch it this weekend. Jim Carrey is great in this as the guy […]
