STEADY LEAK: WHY BLU-RAY WINS

Every time I walk into a DVD shop I cannot help but go past the HD-DVD and BLU-RAY sections just to see the latest and greatest in uselessly overpriced media we don’t really want or need. It’s not like DVD was too damn grainy for us or these new formats allow us to see a … Continue reading

Sometimes the Graboid will be very easy and sometimes it’ll be … Continue reading

THE MIRROR HAS 24 FACES

Good work, Mr. Sutherland. Kiefer Sutherland is such a survivor I think that cockroaches and rats build little shrines to him. He fucking DID it, parlaying the seemingly trapping role of Ace Merrill (oh, and Jack Bauer) into a true A-List career, the odiferous The Sentinel notwithstanding. 24 still manages to deliver, even though it … Continue reading

STEADY LEAK: HI-DEF COMEDY JAM

When I buy something and it pisses me off I typically ruin the architecture on which it’s built. For example, when my car broke down I went and desecrated Henry Ford’s grave. Recently, I raped an ancestor of the Earl of Sandwich when I stabbed the roof of my mouth on a hoagie’s toothpick. I … Continue reading

SET VISIT: GRIZZLY PARK

Note from Nick: I don’t expect you to be prepared for an unbiased look at the behind the scenes shooting of the film I’m a producer on. This is more like a shared experience and because I was knee deep in being involved in the day-to-day of the movie I certainly wasn’t the person to … Continue reading
