Zombieland: Instant Classic
While Zombieland is definitely for a select audience, that audience is in for a monumental treat. Sure you probably won’t take Gran to go see this, but zombie fans have so much to look forward to. I had put myself in the dangerous position of having high expectations due to the trailer. Zombieland far exceeded [...]
Continue reading...The Highest Grossing Bad Movie of All Time?
6. July 2009
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a bad film. Let’s just go ahead and get that out of the way. The tragedy of this particular bad movie is that it’s already made hundreds of millions of dollars therefore justifying its existence to movie studios and Michael Bay apologists. What’s even more frustrating is that the [...]

29. June 2009
No, “iPhone Brown” is not the new official name for the iPhone 3GS, but the new smartphone is too hot for its own good. The overheating glitch actually singes the phone a golden brown. The French journal, Le Journal du Geek posts a user photo of a burnt iPhone, in which an achromatic iPhone is [...]

10. June 2009
It’s a tough time to be a horror fan. With the majority of American fright films being either adaptations of barely better j-horror, Hollywood remakes, or a slew of disposable kiddie fodder, there seems to be no room for original ideas for studio scare faire. Leave it to Sam Raimi to step up to the [...]
Continue reading...Salvation for Terminator
27. May 2009
Back in the first 80′s movie when Kyle Reese described the war-torn landscapes of the Terminators, movie audiences could only imagine how that future looked. In the following films, brief glimpses were shown of the robot hell that earth becomes, but in Terminator Salvation, those visions have become realized. Christian Bale delivers the presence you’d [...]

12. May 2009
It’s a good bet if you read this blog you’ve already seen it, but if this little bit of positive word of mouth benefits this sci-fi masterpiece in the very least, then my duty is done. Star Trek proves you can have a summer blockbuster action flick with plot and substance and not rely solely [...]
Continue reading...The Expendables to Be Indispensable
20. April 2009
Why The Expendables could be one of the most important movies of this generation. If done well, which I think the new Rocky and Rambo were, seeing these iconic characters and figures at the end of their game is a logical and potentially powerful narrative course of action. It’s arguable whether or not the 4th [...]
Continue reading...Comic Book Costumes Can Work
9. April 2009
Before comic books were cool they were shoved into hallway lockers along with other nerdy counterparts like Dungeons and Dragons and computers. In 2009 you would have to be some kind of social outcast if you were into Lord of the Rings, Batman and the internet, right? Well back when we were all ashamed to [...]
Continue reading...Video Game – Movie Transitions: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
5. March 2009
Last week we saw what I can only consider to be a travesty against the forces of the universe. I’m not talking about the near hit we could have taken from an asteroid, but the release of Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-li. In fact, I’d almost rather take the asteroid than to see this [...]

26. January 2009
New at CES 2009 from RoboLabs, Inc comes Smartmow lawn mowing robot for all you geeks out there or just those of you tired of taking the energy and time to mow your own yard. You can pre-order one today at their site for only $175, which sounds like a great deal to me. Their [...]

18. December 2008
The Dark Knight is arguably the best movie to come out in the past decade. It's easily the best movie that I've seen this year, and Heath Ledger's best performance in his career. Last week, The Dark Knight released on Blu-Ray, and just after one week of release became the best selling Blu-Ray movie so far.

1. December 2008
In case you missed it, last night’s episode of The Simpons saw Matt Groening’s own brand of satire brought upon the Apple community… um, I mean… Mapple community.

10. November 2008
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.

23. October 2008
As the economy progresses on its downward spiral (hopefully to soon recover), and with the holidays quickly approaching, there are some great deals already available. Stores don't want to hold onto an excess of products, so the goal this year is get it gone. For some of them you have to be a haggling/negotiating type of person, others you can walk in and find great deals, and some you simply visit your favorite website and find the perfect price for what you want...

3. September 2008
I'm a fairly serious fan of end of the world fiction. If it's zombies rising up against the tide of humanity, I'm there. Strange lights causing physics to stop and reverting back to blade and club? Count me in. Giant comet slamming into the world – yup! I enjoy all of these stories, which is why I was pretty excited to receive a copy of Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse.
