If every era receives the hero we deserve, then what does that say for the era of Dancing With The Stars? This here magazine cover does not bode well for the re-badass-ification of America: http://www.ew.com/ew/inside/issue/0,,ewTax:10441045,00.html Whereas… Continue reading
Tuesday the 14th's episode was another solid start to the season. Good things are clearly on the way. Of course, good things are happening already, but since there's still time for new viewers to jump on this season, I don't want to be spoiler guy. Hulu is… Continue reading
Available starting today on DVD is a horror movie called Splinter, which I highly recommend. Other high-profile releases are The Spirit, which is pure cinematic insanity and is probably only worth watching for the hot chicks, and The Reader, which doesn't… Continue reading
Rescue Me is my favorite show on TV. True, I don't get the chance to watch much television regularly these days. Before you decide whether or not you care about what I have to say about TV, here's a rundown of my recent favorites: I loved The Sopranos and The… Continue reading
