NICK’S TOP 15 of 2006

What a weird year. For the longest time it felt like the year wouldn’t have enough standout entries that I’d have to rely on them to fill the year but thankfully, things righted themselves rather quick and one of the more diverse years unfolded. It’s not an easy year for individual awards, but a very … Continue reading

DAILY GRABOID – 12.27.06

What is this? Every single day of the week (almost), a new "Graboid", a single moment grabbed from a random movie, appears on this site for you to guess the name of the film, share with your officemates, or discuss on our message boards. Sometimes the Graboid will be very easy and sometimes it’ll be … Continue reading

THANK YOU, DAVE DAVIS

***Update***Dave is still gone, but I’m thinking about re-running his ‘Dave’s Underground’ pieces in January.

Since it’s an exciting [and expensive] time to be a video game aficionado, what better time to bring back the column that almost was, a look at all things console and handheld? That is what they call in the business a rhetorical question. … Continue reading

THIRTEEN LOOKS PRETTY LUCKY

That’s more like it. As the official apologist for Ocean’s Twelve (here and here), I’m proud to say that Ocean’s Thirteen looks like a worthy entry in the series people seem predisposed to be incredulous about but all seem to see. There’s a funny backlash from folks thinking "oh shit, Clooney and Soderbergh are sleepwalking … Continue reading
