The fellow above isn't pissed because Madmartigan escaped again but because he's one of many human beings in a world before Christianity and broadband internet access. I'd be angry too. Imagine downloading an episode of Dexter at 14.4 baud or worse yet, while… Continue reading
Kenny Ortega might be known around Hollywood right now as one of the masterminds of the lucrative High School Musical phenomenon, but, in my heart, he'll always be the director of Newsies. (Look, you can throw Batman Begins, The Prestige and Reign of Fire at… Continue reading

You may not have heard much about Gavin Hood's Rendition, but, by the end of this September's Toronto Film Festival, it could very well be a frontrunner for Best Picture. It's not like this is a stretch; Hood's Tsotsi won the 2005 Oscar for Best Foreign Film,… Continue reading
Wait, it’s not Friday. What the hell?Well it’s E3 week, which means gaming news will be dropping like console prices. In anticipation to the Not-As-Big Summit, here’s a follow-up to last week’s Bit Player’s Roundtable. On Monday, IGN GamerMetrics released its… Continue reading
