Money Grab or Movie History?

Money Grab or Movie History?

There is no denying James Cameron is one of the most polarizing directors in Hollywood. When he makes a movie, he usually invests millions upon millions of dollars to get it up and running. His topics range from world peace to humans suck. All of this, as you can imagine, can rub people the wrong [...]

Fighting A Losing Cause

Fighting A Losing Cause

It was almost a great weekend. I stuffed myself full of whatever food I could find, I met actor Steve Martin, and I even managed to make a buck or two in the process. What would’ve made the weekend better? I really wish I could’ve seen a better movie.
Ever since The Losers has been in [...]

Kicking Off The Summer Properly

Kicking Off The Summer Properly

It has finally arrived. The summer blockbuster comic book to movie extravaganza of 2010 (I don’t think that’s the official title) has been launched. So far, I love the appetizer and it makes me incredibly anxious for the main course in a few weeks.
I’m talking of course about Kick-Ass. In my opinion, this is the [...]

Hornet Put On Hold

Hornet Put On Hold

There has been a lot of moving and shaking in the film industry this week. One story that managed to sneak under the radar was an update about the upcoming Green Hornet movie, set to release in December of this year. Apparently the powers-that-be over at Sony have decided Seth Rogen playing the Green Hornet [...]

Clash Of The Annoying

Clash Of The Annoying

I’m not a religious guy. I understand most all religions and have nothing against religious people. I do have a problem with how religion is perceived in this world. We always seem to make it more epic than it needs to be. In the case of Greek Mythology, the stories are legendary. They are Shakesperean, [...]

If I Had A Hammer

If I Had A Hammer

We all have been placed in positions that were impossible. Perhaps a spouse or a lover asks us one of “those” questions which have no good answer. Perhaps a parent or close friend politely accuses us of something. Even if we didn’t do anything there may be no way to prove we didn’t do it [...]

The Wonder Of It All

The Wonder Of It All

I’m sure glad that’s over. After all the talking, all the bantering, and all the rumors it is signed. No, not health care. The new Captain America movie. As you’ve probably heard already, Chris Evans was chosen to play the lead. We’ve seen his body of work (and his body) as a member of the [...]

On Second Thought…

On Second Thought…

Have you ever dated anyone who changed their mind? Seriously. Doesn’t it drive you insane? I mean one minute they are absolutely sure about where they want to eat only to change their mind when you pull into the parking lot. Or they change clothes 100 times in an hour just to go to the [...]

You Know? That One Guy

You Know? That One Guy

Spring is almost here. For those of us who have spent the last several months feeling like two year old Hot Pockets shoved in the back of the freezer, the sunshine is a pleasant sight. Spring is a symbol of newness. It represents the beginning of great things. It is also the start of fierce [...]

Wanted: One Photo Taking Web Slinger

Wanted: One Photo Taking Web Slinger

It’s a rough world out there these days. There’s little doubt about it. Many people are out of work and will do just about anything for money. They’d like to make a living, but, money can sometimes mask that.
Speaking of masks and money, Marvel plans on firing Peter Parker this week in order to sell [...]
