We’ve seen a lot of movies making fun of pop culture and teenagers. Some of them turn into classics, like Clueless, and Ferris Beuller’s Day Off while others go the way of My Best Friend’s a Vampire and disappear from public view and memory. We’ve seen movies influenced by video games, and some work, such [...]
Well, my illness came back with a vengeance, so check back next week for a posting.
Jackie Chan. The name brings to mind Kung Fu, goofiness, and fun. The Karate Kid, however, is a somewhat serious coming of age movie from the 80′s, arguably one of the better ones, and has left its own stamp on our culture. In this age of movies where Hollywood seems to have lost its imagination, [...]
I love Queen Latifah, and I have since she appeared in The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Chicago. She’s funny, versitile, and always fun to watch. Besides, I’ve always liked full figured women actors a lot better than half-starved women like Milla Jovovitch (although I do like Milla. I just like Latifah more). This [...]

I love mythology of any kind, and this certainly didn’t disappoint. The plot concerns Loki, Norse god of mischief and mayhem, and his adventures on Earth. Odin has [...]
Hairspray is one of those iconic cult classics of the 80′s that has left an indelible stamp on our culture, not to mention launching the great Ricki Lake’s career. I wonder what she’s been doing lately, but I digress, and I want to get this done before I look that up on imdb.com. This movie [...]
Most people these days have at least heard of an MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online). It’s a game where you log in along with thousands to millions of other players, and all play together. World of Warcraft is the most popular. I, myself, play Final Fantasy 11 and Final Fantasy 14. The webshow called The Guild [...]
Due to all the bad reviews of this show, I waited until it hit my local dollar theater to go and see it. I HAVE to say this to begin with, I like M. Night Shyamalan, and I have since his movie The 6th Sense. I’ve always thought he was a brilliant storyteller and a [...]
