Former White House press secretary and Fox News anchor Tony Snow has died of cancer. Back when he was still breathing and lying to America for a living, Snow asked the members of the White House press corps to wear yellow silicone bracelets to commemorate his terrible disease. In Mr. Snow’s memory, I now reprint … Continue reading
Now more than ever, vampires are a proven commodity in Hollywood. It all started with Max Schrek in Nosferatu, but Bela Lugosi’s legendary turn in Dracula back in the 30s made it cool to admire the undead. Christopher Lee made a career out of portraying the bloodsucker during the infamous Hammer era in a number … Continue reading
I Got The Clap! Heath Ledger died. News flash. At the press screening for The Dark Knight in Los Angeles, an event filled with ‘luminaries’ from the television screen, print media, and online world there was a round of applause by a majority of the crowd at the end of the film when Ledger’s … Continue reading
A B-Movie review double feature brought to you by a night of staying up way too late with friends, beer, and a crying newborn (not mine). Burgers were grilled, four people crammed onto a three person couch, and we chose two movies to watch from our selection of 60+ recently purchased movies (a 50-movie horror classics … Continue reading
E3 is in a weird state right now. The huge videogame expo doesn’t officially begin until tomorrow although there are a bunch of events going on here and there today (as you already knew from Russ’ coverage).

I knew nothing of this movie and was largely unfamiliar with Mr. Russell, other than 1980’s ALTERED STATES & 1986’s GOTHIC. The latter film I love, the former being something I bought on clearance several years ago but … Continue reading
So internet connections have been problematic here. As you could have guessed from my magical two week absence. And it bugs me. The things I’ve missed out on since not having television access are staggering. Even worse was the lack of internet. A few things I missed: Madonna and Guy Ritchie splitting (something I would … Continue reading
Mohr is More! Color me surprised to discover how quickly one’s perception can change about a performer based on just a few seemingly innocuous factors. Or even one. Case in point: SNL alum, best-selling author, television and radio personality, and actor Mr. Jay Mohr. I’ve never hated the guy but found him to be nowhere … Continue reading
Stupidity has run rampant in our country. Even our great president is kind of a knucklehead. I find this to be a very tragic turn of events. Not because I feel sorry for us smart people, but because I know how bad is sucks to be stupid. I got hit in the head once. It … Continue reading
