My interest in Star Wars has waned to the point of Star Trek, (yeah, I said it- what!) but damned if I don't revisit the universe that George built and blew up when anything Star Wars-ey rolls into town, so this week has seen more Star Wars on my computer… Continue reading
Despite the goodwill garnered (and promptly, I humbly submit, pissed away) by Eddie Murphy in his excellent turn as James "Thunder" Early, the once red-leathered king of comedy continues to join forces with the powers of lowest common denominator in… Continue reading
If the 1953 film How to Marry a Millionaire is to be believed, all a golddigger (watch out!) has to do is have the luck of being nearsighted or presumptive. How not to marry a millionaire is a little more complicated when you have to do things like enter as a… Continue reading
It's been said that acting is the gateway drug. Star in a film and next thing you know you'll be cutting tracks for your first CD, selling shampoo in Japan or, if you really get into the hard stuff, start directing other actors. Actually, I don't know if it's… Continue reading

A few months back there was an official picture posted of the money maker from AVP 2 in some head-to-phallic head action– some people thought it looked like turd, others (all one of you and me) thought it looked okay. Now there's another batch of pictures… Continue reading
I don't know if you've become hip to this or not, but apparently there's some movie coming out called The Dark Knight. I hear it's something about a guy dressed up in a bat costume and a green haired serial killer. If my sources have it right, the movie is… Continue reading
