DVD REVIEW: Breaking Bad – The Complete First Season: Dying Chemistry Teacher Turns to Crime to Provide For His Family!
When Bryan Cranston won the Emmy for Best Actor, last year, it came as a surprise to most of the Awards show’s audience. After all, Mad Men’s Jon Hamm had all the buzz for that series going for him. That and Cranston’s Breaking Bad role, chemistry teacher Walter White, being a guy who decides, upon […]
MOVIE REVIEW: Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li – Not The Worst Videogame Movie By Far
You think I’d learn. Every time I check out a movie based on a videogame, I’m let down – sometimes to an extreme [like with Max Payne, DOOM and the original Street Fighter movie]; sometimes by the tiniest of margins. Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li is one of the latter. Here’s a movie that […]
TELEVISION: Idol Watch via Twitter
This year, I’m going to try a little something different for my weekly Idol Re-caps, I still need a cool catchy name for this, since every varation on the name Idol Watch has been taken. I’ll call it Carly watch, yeah, um…. Anywho, maybe I’ll call it IdolTweet. But check out my Idol comments at […]
DIGITAL CAMERA REVIEW: Casio High Speed Exilim
When I was at CES a few months ago, I was genuinely surprised by how much cool gear Casio has. I’m going to have to post those late pictures from my booth tour when I get back from my quick little trip to Disney. A lot of my CES coverage got delayed due to continued […]

Television: CW Announces Early Pick-Ups Including Supernatural
I love it when a plan comes together! Especially when it’s Supernatural creator Eric Kripke’s 5 -year plan for his hit series starring Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles as Sam and Dean Winchester: two demon hunting, ghost banishing, monster slaying brothers who drive around in a cool black ’67 Chevy Impala loaded with weapons to […]
Blu-ray Review: Michelle looks at Zodiac!
I’ve never met him, but David Fincher is one dark guy. This is the man who did Seven, which I loved, Fight Club, which I loathed, Zodiac. No wonder he followed that up with the Oscar nominated The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button. But this review isn’t about his latest epic; it’s about his last […]
Blu-Ray Review: Michelle looks at High School Musical 3: Senior Year, Deluxe Extended Edition!
I watched High School Musical in 2006 when it first came out on The Disney Channel. I’m a sucker for musicals and the teen romance. At the time, I was, meh, about it. It was fine for what it was, but I had no idea it would explode into the phenomena that it has. It’s […]

Hey Everyone, I got tied up with Oscar stuff this weekend, so I didn’t get a chance to launch the Watchmen Screening Contest. Check out my twitter (http://www.twitter.com/eclipsemagazine) and facebook (don’t know how to send a Facebook URL) feed later today for the secret code to attend next Monday’s Washington, DC advanced screening.

MOVIE NEWS: Michelle’s Oscar Ballot
Ok, here is the Oscar Ballot. I’m not going to live blog this show. I’m watching Prom Night (the new version) and will follow that up with either Burn After Reading or this Chop Soki movie called Chocolate. But I did at least set the DVR, so maybe the mood will strike me to speed […]
