Hey, it’s another week of America’s favorite Karaoke show. It’s about 8:30 now, so I’ll give my DVR another 10 minutes before I start my weekly report. But I can tell you it’s Dolly Parton night so, it’ll be a miracle if I’ll make it through tonight’s installment. But mercifully, it’s only an hour episode, […]

Well then, gear up to put your racing skills to the test in a frantic trip across the United States, following a route that […]
PS3 Store Finally gets updated!
One of the many reasons why I hate the PS3 as a video game system is the design of the Playstation Store is HORRIBLE. The navigation is terrible and those stupid online Eulas have a tendency to your cursor. It’s basically unusable. But there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Sometime this month […]
Rock Band’s Latest Track Announced
This video is courtesy of the folks at Joystiq. Rock Band announced it’s latest downloadable track – “Still Alive” by Jonathan Coulton. Best of all, the song will be free. It’s an interesting mellow choice. I’m really impressed with the consistency in which Rock Band has been adding tracks. I’ll go on record as saying […]
Hulk Smash into Games
It’s not an official Summer Blockbuster until there’s a game attached. The folks at Sega have been doing the full court press on their upcoming The Incredible Hulk Video Game. The game features key moments from the film, as well as additional plotlines and characters from the character’s rich comic-book universe. Players smash through New […]
Run, Fatboy, Run: An Exercise in Clichés!
Apparently, even Simon Pegg’s rewriting of a Michael Ian Black script wasn’t enough to keep Run, Fatboy, Run from becoming a mash-up of romantic comedy and sports movie clichés. This is not quite one of the worst movies of the year. There are major spoilers in this review – because, well, I can’t see […]
Stop-Loss: Character Drama Makes Point About Military Legal Loophole!
It’s been awhile since Kimberly Peirce directed a feature film [that would be her first, 1999’s Boys don’t Cry], but she’s back with another character driven drama that is important for more than just its characters – Stop-Loss.
The Trojan Horse: A uniquely Canadian political thriller
In 2004, during the last US Presidential election, Canadian broadcaster CBC aired “H2O”, an edgy, well-written and compelling drama about the sale of water to an increasingly thirsty USA, which ended shockingly with the annexation of Canada by its neighbour. Having attracted an array of awards, including the 2005 Monte Carlo TV Festival award […]
American Idol – Another week of boring Ballads
Hey, I’m back with another round of Idol Watch – sorry I don’t have a catchy original name for this. Last week I attended a screening and got home late, so I wasn’t in the mood to stay up until 2am to discuss another round of bad karaoke – especially after I saw that […]
Wham! Bam! Biff! Its Blu-ray Batman!
The Classic 1966 Batman movie is coming to Blu-ray, July 1st. But Fox is crazy, they are charging $40 bucks for this. I think my rant about the price of Blu-ray Discs going up and not down has been proven basically true. Since I don’t own this on DVD, I would seriously be tempted to […]
