One of the most hated developments in the blockbuster movie era is product placement. It’s really bad when the product placement is obvious, leading us all to clip our noses and shake our heads. However, looking back at the history of it all, there’s much to appreciate now. Even for nostalgia’s sake. To narrow the [...]

There are iconic actors and actresses in the movie industry, who if you uttered their name people instantly know who you’re talking about.

It is my belief that there are two kinds of Terminator fans. There are the kind that enjoyed the first three films, and eagerly await the next episode of the Sarah Connor Chronicles, and there are those who love the first two, thought the third one was somewhere between bad and mildly decent, and are not very interested in either the Sarah Connor Chronicles or the upcoming Terminator: Salvation. If you fall into a different category, please correct me if I'm wrong.

There’s no way around it. I’m guilty. I’m guilty of doing a very bad thing. I don’t know if there’s a way I can be forgiven for the sin I have brought unto myself. I mean *how* HOW could I even consider myself to be a fan of Joss Whedon *and* be oblivious to Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog? I could use the excuse that I don’t have iTunes, but really, is that a good enough excuse? No. No it is not. For those of you who have been like me, living in a cave- I give you 'A brand new day, last song act 2'. It should be coming out on DVD, but in the meantime you can catch pieces of it on Youtube (thanks Cavtroop for showing me the error of my ways and pointing me in the right direction. One day, year, decade; I hope to be on good side of the Whedonverse again).

Wii. While I can’t afford all the new consoles out there, I must slowly take my time to decide which would be the best for me and my son. I’m an old school girl; it started with a paddle, ball and a wall, then scribbling two walls on a piece of paper and zipping my [...]
