Screw the Oscars! Let’s Eat Del Taco! 2008-02-22 01:41:35 I honestly had no idea the Oscars
are this Sunday (I think they’re this Sunday). But in any regards, I WON’T be watching them. And it’s not because I hate the Oscars. I don’t care enough about the Oscars to even establish such an involved emotion. No. Instead of watching the Oscars, I’ll be eating [...] Read more:Screw
Fools Gold Movie Review - Matthew Mcconaughey and Kate Hudson 2008-02-12 01:20:20 OK. So I opted to see the new Matthew
Mcconaughey movie, Fool’s Gold, with a friend of mine. I decided to see it because, well, I don’t know. The minute I told my other friends I saw it, they pointed and laughed at me. But I don’t care. I’m known to like the cheesier side [...] Read more:Fools

I Am Legend Movie Review - It Would Have Made A Better TV Series 2008-01-16 21:19:12 I recently saw I Am Legend
because the story line intrigued me. Just about any post-apocalyptic/world widecatastrophe story that results in only 1 man being alive or not infected always seems to peek my interest (sometimes I wouldn’t mind having all of New York City including all apartments, cars, parks, shops, etc. all for [...]
Randi Rhodes Quits Air America 2008-04-10 21:22:04 One of the most distinctive voices on progressive talk radio, Randi Rhodes

Radio today after she’d been suspended for calling presidential candidate Hillary Clinton a “f—ing whore” at an event sponsored by the station. In other news, Barack Obama will be delivering the second most important speech in his political career in [...]
Staying Home on “Prom Night” 2008-04-12 16:51:09 PG-13 horror. A contradiction in terms if there ever was one. Yet the multiplexes are lousy with PG-13 horror flicks of late, the most recent being this weekend’s completely unnecessary “Prom Night
” regurgitation.
For those of you with lives and don’t already know, the PG-13 rating came about in the mid-’80s. Steven Spielberg’s heart-rendering “Indiana Jones [...]
“V: The Second Generation” (Review) 2008-04-13 17:37:53 I was late to the party for “V.” It was only last year that I watched Kenneth Johnson’s original 2-part mini-series and loved every Marc Singer-filled minute of it. The concept of fascist lizard people taking over Earth by winning hearts and minds rather than blowing up famous buildings is a clever approach to the [...] Read more:Second

Happy 70th Birthday, Superman! 2008-04-17 11:06:44 For a guy who’s a year younger than John McCain, Superman
looks pretty good for his age. 2008 marks his 70th anniversary, and although DC Comics seems to have completely forgotten about it — too busy retconning the universe with one “Crisis” crossover after another, methinks — I’d still like to reflect on the character [...] Read more:Happy

“Zombie Strippers” (Review) 2008-04-19 19:05:26 Five years ago, I landed my one and only P.A. gig on a film set. It was for a day’s worth of shooting on a Troma movie in West Los Angeles. The scene in question involved a half-dozen or so winners from the since-canceled game show “Beat the Geeks” that were lined up to [...] Read more:Strippers
“Where in the World is Osama bin Laden” (Review) 2008-04-20 12:48:49 Four years ago, Morgan Spurlock took on the fast food industry with his documentary “Super Size Me.” In the film, he dined at McDonald’s for breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday for a month. His health declined, his weight increased, and he forced the McFranchises across the country to rethink their menus, or at the very [...] Read more:World

Body Worlds 3 2008-04-23 17:47:00 Plastination is the process of swapping out your precious bodily fluids with plastic and basically transforming you into a giant, fully-poseable action figure — one without skin or even a spring-loaded missile launcher. Your skinless, sinewy plasticized body is then carved up, cross-sectioned and put on display in an exhibition called Body Worlds
3. That [...]
“Cloverfield” on DVD (Review) 2008-04-22 20:51:41 Last summer, I went to a 12:01 a.m. screening of “Transformers.” Why movie houses start movies a minute after midnight on opening day and not just midnight is beyond me; midnight is technically the next day, you don’t need to add on another minute to make it really, really the next day.
Though I was there [...]
“Forgetting Sarah Marshall” (Review) 2008-04-24 14:22:36 I’d actually been dreading this one. Full disclosure: I never get over any girl that breaks up with me. Ever. Well, maybe I do eventually, but nothing short of clubbing me over the head with a wrench will make me forget about an ex. I’m sure there’s something incredibly sad and creepy about that, but [...] Read more:Sarah

“The Gingerdead Man” DVD (Review) 2008-04-27 22:45:51 My junior year of college, I wrote a short story for Creative Writing class about a homicidal gingerbread boy. The course instructor had been rather hard on many of my efforts that quarter — we were supposed to be writing literature, not “genre material” — and she wasn’t particularly thrilled with my latest stab a [...]
Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors 2008-04-26 21:21:25 The L.A. Convention Center this weekend is the central hub of sex and violence. In one hall is AdultCon — an egregiously overpriced adult film convention — and in another is Fangoria’s Weekend
of Horrors
. Being slightly more of a fan of carnography than pornography, I attended the latter this afternoon.
I’d never been to a [...]
Indiana Jones and the Bootleg Trailer of Awesomeness 2008-04-30 11:08:07 TrailerAddict.com has posted the full “Indiana
Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” trailer that’s attached to prints of “Iron Man,” which opens Friday. It’s a bootleg, shot with a hand-held camera. Thankfully, there aren’t several rows of silhouetted heads between the cameraperson and the screen. The audio’s decent, and the picture’s clear enough. [...] Read more:Bootleg

Strike Two? 2008-05-01 16:10:55 Let’s get this out of the way: actors are overpaid. So are producers. One doesn’t come to Hollywood because he wants to make passion projects that scratch his artistic itch, box office be damned. He doesn’t struggle and starve and say no to big dumb scripts because he wants to make small, personal films. No, [...]
“Iron Man” (Review) 2008-05-02 15:04:09 I saw the first “Spider-Man” movie in the theater ten times. I’d started reading comics in earnest at age 12, and even then, there were rumblings that a Spidey flick was in development. It took a full decade before the rights issues were sorted out and Sam Raimi won the game of musical director’s chairs. [...] Read more:Iron Man
Free Comic Book Day 2008-05-03 17:42:08 You get what you pay for. This being the first Saturday in May, today’s Free Comic
Book Day. With a superhero flick kicking off the summer movie season almost annually now (last year it was “Spider-Man 3,” this year “Iron Man”), comic book publishers hope to lure in new readers by offering promotional issues that [...] Read more:Free Comic

“The Dark Knight” Final Trailer 2008-05-04 18:56:30 I didn’t get to see this one in front of “Iron Man” last Friday. Instead I was in preview purgatory, having to sit through the trailers for “Prince Caspian” (I keep wanting to say “Caspiar,” but that’s where Foreign Man is from) and “The Love Guru.” They were at least bookended by the final trailers [...] Read more:Knight

A Beginner’s Guide to the Marvel Universe & “Iron Man” 2008-05-06 16:16:36 I’ve been fielding a lot of questions about the MarvelUniverse
recently, and in an effort to clarify things for the noobs, I thought I’d write a primer. Read on so you too can impress your friends by pointing out every fanboy nod in “Iron Man
” and understand what that Samuel L. Jackson cameo at [...] Read more:Beginner

Eww-Face (*Potential Spoilers Ahead*) 2008-05-05 21:51:41 The movie “Darkman” cost me a good night’s sleep for two full months when I was a kid. At 11, I may have been a bit too young and impressionable for the amount of carnage Sam Raimi put on the screen. In the film, Dr. Peyton Westlake’s face is not only partially eaten away [...] Read more:Potential
