Ladies and Gentleman, we are about to enter a dark time.  A time where idiocy, incompetence, laziness and cynicism are the norm.  A time where souls will be crushed, dreams shattered, and innocence lost.  Hope and joy will be left in the wings while boredom and despair will take center stage.  I’m speaking of...

Look, I’m bored, it’s a slow news week,  and I don’t feel like writing about the Sony hack or about how the cancellation of The Interview is a blow to free speech and the terrorists have won and yada yada yada.  There are far smarter people than me to tackle that issue and write...

As 2014 winds itself down and we all celebrate some of respective holidays and get tired of all the holiday cheer (annoying family members) it’s nice to reflect on the year that was. As someone who takes his videogame opinions slightly seriously I’d like to sit down and talk about what games were released...

Christmas is almost here and for most of us that means empty bank accounts, an endless barrage of Holiday music, family parties with people we don’t like, and screenings of flicks we’ve seen ten thousand times yet feel obligated to watch every December.

When I first saw the trailer for Whiplash, I didn’t know what the hell to make of it. It appeared to be a typical music school drama, one of those cloying movies like Music of the Heart or Mr. Holland’s Opus where some wide eyed idiot with a passion for music gets inspired by...

It’s been a good year for TV.  Breaking Bad is gone but there were more than a few shows willing to fill the gap.  And now it’s time to talk about them.  I worked long and hard and crunched a lot of numbers to come up with my top ten list even though my number...

First of all, to address your gaping jaw and look of utter bewilderment, that image above is not fake.  Paramount Pictures has indeed made a push for the Academy to nominate Transformers: Age of Extinction for Best Picture.  They want Michael Bay to get a Best Director nomination and for the flick to get a whole...

Foxcatcher has Oscar written all over it.  It’s chock full of things the Academy loves: a comedic actor making a dark dramatic turn, a pretty boy actor demanding to be taken seriously, a prestigious director who only makes Oscar bait, a script based off a lurid true story, a long running time, and themes focused on...
