I am pretty sure I am not the only one to have used the above tagline about the latest installment of the 007 franchise, but I make no claims to being original, just an admirer of good taglines. As explained in the last post, I have not seen very many films as of late, but [...]

The title of this post is in itself an apology and a fairly cool name for a band. If you need a band name of course. We have been busy and therefore not consuming as much popular culture recently. Aside from 30 Rock, The Office, and of course The Daily Show almost every night during [...]

Here are three reviews of the most recent films I’ve seen in a theater or on DVD.
The Dark Knight (2008): the comic book film that the comic book dork [me] has been waiting for, supposedly. Director Christopher Nolan (Memento, The Prestige) extends the themes from the excellent franchise reboot Batman Begins, and deftly explores the [...]

Joss Whedon, creator of the television shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly, has created a one-time internet show for your enjoyment. He has a knack for blending diverse genres into something fresh and new, but I think he may have topped himself this time: a first-person-supervillain-musical-video blog. It may be a bit quirky for [...]

It has been a week since the passing of Sydney Pollack to cancer and so I thought about posting a quick tribute to him and his work in cinema. Sydney was a steady-eddy in Hollywood.
