Hey, the folks behind Al Pacino’s thriller Righteous Kill have put together a tasty, blood thirsty DVD Collection to give away. The collection includes a copy of The Godfather, Heat, Scarface and a RigheousKill poster. How cool is that? Kill is about a pair of veteran New York City police detectives are on the trail […]
MOVIE NEWS: Cirque du Soleil’s DELIRIUM hits the Big Screen Next week.
Here is something interesting. One of my favorite things to do is attend a Cirque Du Soleil performance. They are truly unique and innovative, if you are ever in Vegas, catch "O" at the Ballagio it’s a visually stunning and beautiful production. I’ve seen almost every traveling show. If you don’t know what Cirque is, […]

Torchwood is the action-packed, adrenaline-fueled sci-fi series from the BBC, following the adventures of a team of investigators, working for the secret organization Torchwood, who use scavenged alien technology in a struggle to contain the mysterious and deadly challenges thrown at them […]
Supernatural: Bone Key – Exclusive Book Preview
Author Keith R.A. DeCandido manages to keep himself well-occupied. The self-described mad fedora’d writer lists musician, baseball fan, and all-around long-haired hippie weirdo freak in addition to ‘Author’ and ‘Editor’ in his usual biography. And his Live Journal, appropriately titled “Krad’s Inaccurate Guide to Life,” basically makes his life an open book and offers a […]
MOVIE REVIEW: Tropic Thunder: Apocalypse When?
Tropic Thunder may well be the most [deliberately] politically incorrect film I’ve ever seen – and one of the funniest. The fake trailers alone are worth the price of admission! Ben Stiller’s film takes aim at every level of Hollyweird culture, from trailers to fraudulent writers to explosive studio executives – and is on target […]
TELEVISION NEWS: Netflix Goes Live
I’m not sure where to classify this little tidbit that the folks at Netflix sent over. Last weekend they held a weird Live event in Los Angeles where they invited a bunch of bands and TV Stars to come and do something. What, I couldn’t really tell from the original invite they sent me a […]
GAME NEWS: New Lara Croft Model Debuts
Ah, Tomb Raider. A game that for some reason I could never quite get into. Every year I look forward to the new installment and always end up being disappointed. Maybe it’s because I’m just not a fan of puzzles in my games. I like straightforward go from point A to point B. Not hitting […]
MUSIC: Isaac Hayes: Renaissance Man of Soul, An Appreciation
I was working in a record store called Opus 69 when the album Hot Buttered Soul was released. I’d known Isaac Hayes from his writing and session and production work for other acts – acts like Sam & Dave and Booker T. & the MGs. The sound of these acts, and others from the same […]
The Tellybox: The Doctor and the Captain play Shakespeare… but what’s on the box?
So, after that tumultuous Doctor Who finale (have you got your breath back yet?), Donna is back home, Captain Jack has rejoined the Torchwood crew (who are presumably spending the summer rebuilding the Hub – again!), Rose has returned to Bad Wolf Bay with Dark-Doctor – and The Doctor himself has headed to […]
SOFTWARE REVIEW: Adobe Acrobat 9 shows Incremental Changes
I’ve been a fan of Adobe products for a few years now, but the one Adobe product that has been the bane of my existence has been Adobe’s ubiquitous PDF format. While most people do create amazing looking, print ready documents with Adobe Acrobat, I find the closed nature of the PDF format incredibly annoying. […]
BLU-RAY NEWS: Daredevil Director’s Cut comes to Blu
I never understood the vitriolic hatred fanboys had for the Daredevil movie and the irrational loathing of Ben "Mumbles" Affleck. Yes, they took a lot of liberties with the material. Colin Farrell and Jennifer Gardner were terrible. But then I never liked Colin or Jennifer. But I thought the film maintained the basic tone of […]
