5 Minutes of CloverField
2007-12-14 17:30:00 The folks making Cloverfield are following the latest trend of posting 5-10 minutes from their movies.

Get ?A?s and Get a Big Mac
2007-12-12 13:00:00 Remember when McDonalds said they would “ban advertising to children under 12 or limit them to food and snacks that meet certain nutritional guidelines” ?

Golden Compass Looks Like a Flop
2007-12-10 18:33:00 I ‘ve been keeping a close eye on the Golden Compass this weekend and given the numbers showing up at Box Office Mojo and the latest posts at /Film (#1 and #2) the future of the Dark Materials trilogy on film does not look good.

Semi-Pro Trailer Hits
2007-12-09 14:05:00 Will Ferrell stars in Semi-Pro, another comedy coming from the Will Ferrell formula. The thing I despise most about Will Ferrell movies is the fact that I like them. They are virtually a mad libs of sports comedies, but somehow I wind up liking them. Leaving the theater is like a walk of shame… Speaking ...

Mike?s Top 5 Games of the year for Xbox 360
2007-12-05 08:33:00 The last few months have been a bastard to one’s gaming budget. It has only been in the past two weeks or so that there has been a lull in good game releases, and just good games.

Moral Kombat: The Trailer
2007-12-03 06:17:00 I have a few comments on this one. I will however withold judging the film until I get a chance to see it, so anything I have to say is taken directly from the trailer.

Is this How Games Are Played?
2007-12-03 05:26:00 This clip is from an episode of the show Life (on NBC) and features the console game Prince of Persia . So why mention this? Well it seems the writers of this show are not familiar with the mantra ‘Write what you know’. I’m not sure what part of this clip is unintentionally funnier. It may be ...

WGA?s Speechless Campaign
2007-11-27 04:09:00 It seems this week I’m finally starting to suffer from Daily Show and Colbert Report withdrawal. As you have probably noticed I have been behind the WGA strike 150%.

New Cloverfield Trailer
2007-11-19 21:15:00 I remember the days when I was a fanboy… when trailers didn’t give the entire movie away. Damn you Castaway.

2007-11-18 23:30:00 I caught this disturbing movie trailer from the 80s on Ebaumsworld and I thought I saw a familiar face. You might recognize him as Colonel Tigh from Battlestar Galactica. At least it’s not porn… Share This More About: Video , Humor , Film , Peanut , Butter

My ?4? Cents on the Writer?s Strike
2007-11-10 16:07:00 I know I should have mentioned this sooner but I’ve been spending some time on messageboards and reading comments about the current WGA strike.

American Gangster (2007) Review
2007-11-06 12:44:00 I have heard Ridley Scott’s American Gangster hailed as the black Scarface or the black Godfather, and neither of these are very accurate in describing the film and it’s tone. The story and presentation are more akin to Ted Demme’s Blow and Scorsese’s Goodfellas. All of these films have a great soundtrack but I ... More About: Reviews , Film , Washington , Review
