I don’t usually blog about movies, but I figured I’d share some quick opinions on the latest box office hit, Avatar. I’ve liked James Cameron’s past work, but I just couldn’t get behind Avatar.
The promos never impressed me and after seeing the movie, this movie reminded me of what’s wrong with the video game [...]

Every once in a while I feel like watching something an older movie or tv show and last week I popped the first two DVDs of season one of MacGyver in my DVD player and was instantly taken back to the 80s, a time which looks makes things so much more simple than they are [...]

I’m not a comic book reader… never really have been. I’ve only owned two comics in my life and that was when I was about seven years old. However, it’s hard for me not to notice the popularity of Comic-Con thanks to Twitter, just to start.

As a huge fan of USA Network for years, I always enjoy their promos and they have some great ones this year again.

In case you didn’t know, Back to the Future is my favorite movie of all-time. It wasn’t difficult to make the decision to buy the big trilogy set when it came out on DVD a few years ago:

The other day I posted a video from The Onion about the 2008 election, and it turns out that they’re doing a movie now. The trailer has been released and it is hilarious.
The Onion began as kind of a MidWest answer to National Lampoon at the University of Wisconsin, and coming from the MidWest, [...]

I think it was last week that I caught the trailer for the new Iron Man film on TV. It wasn’t long after that that the trailer was put on the ‘net.
The main actor is Robert Downey Jr., who’s playing Tony Stark, of course. When I initially heard this was the case, I [...]

The other night I had the opportunity to watch a movie called Matchstick Men. I remember hearing a little bit about it when it originally came out in theaters, but I don’t recall seeing a whole lot of press. But it’s now airing on cable and is obviously out on DVD now.
The film’s [...]
