I’ve been lagging on the whole Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD battle for some time now being that I gave up my early tech adopting ways some time ago. In fact, HDTV itself has been a big disappointment to me until recently when Direct TV just launched a new satellite that’ll carry a buttload of new channels … Continue reading
I have an affinity for political talk radio, both right and left, and while you have to put up with a lot of bloviating, you sometimes happen upon a remarkable story that doesn’t get a lot of attention elsewhere and makes it all worthwhile. A few months ago, an ex-Navy SEAL named Marcus Luttrell started … Continue reading
I’ve never been the biggest horror fan, but I’ve actually missed the genre on the bigscreen in recent years. Well, the meat and potatoes portion of it, anyway. I’m talking about regular people in a remote location beset upon by irrational killing machines with no real motivation. Keep your elaborate ghost stories, torture pics, and … Continue reading
3:10 To Yuma has it all. Leather. Guns. Shootouts. Bale. Crowe. Harvey Fierstein. I mean, seriously…this looks to be a nice night out at the movies. It’s directed by James Mangold, features two worthy leads (One and a half, if you’re of the same mind as Dev, it seems), and supposedly has a rather fearsome … Continue reading

Casting news out of Hollywood is coming fast and furious with Das Strike looming (I’m actually “in final negotiations” for The Larry B. Scott Story. It’s good work if you can get it). That means actors and actresses are getting good, bad, and ugly options offered to them like never before. For Scarlett Johansson – … Continue reading
So, the big concept of Hancock, when it was still called Tonight, He Comes, was that you have a superhero who, well…can’t come when he’s with women, lest he kill them with his jizz, better known as su-per sper-her-herm (Check it). Supposedly, this facet was trimmed down somewhat along with the length of the title. … Continue reading
Chris Rock had a great bit in his last standup special about the whole Siegfried & Roy/tiger attack debacle where he observed “That tiger didn’t go crazy! That tiger went tiger!” I keep waiting for Bernie Mac to go tiger. I got to know the guy through his ultra-raw, raucous, and goddamn funny as shit … Continue reading
What’s worse – Waterboarding or bamboo shoots under the fingernails? Lindsay Lohan’s coke habit or her mom’s fame habit? The third act of Batman Begins or the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade? These are the types of moral dilemmas that we all wrestle with every day. I have a new personal one: Tyler Perry embarrassing black people … Continue reading
A few months back, we reported that Millennium Films was in the process of making a live-action Hercules movie, and on its face, that’s nothing Earth-shaking. But for those who understand what Millenium Films is about (and if you don’t, I’ll ask that you stop reading and jump to their website for a few minutes. … Continue reading
