Next up, kindergarten class re-enacts “Showgirls”

This is so perposterous, I can’t even make this up.  There is a video on YouTube of a school play of…Scarface.  The Brian Depalma film holds the record for the most f-bombs dropped in a movie, never mind the violence and the drugs. I’ve watched the video; it’s legitimate. Kids in 2nd or 3rd grade [...]

Superman comic sells for $1 million plus

Who would have thought that books of colored comics strips would end up being so valuable? A copy of the very first comic to feature the iconic Superman sold recently for $1.5 million.  That’s a lot of money to shell out for a comic book. I understand the historical significance but still, these things usually [...]

Games for guys who like games

There was a cable station, I want to say it was TBS, who used to advertise certain movie nights as “Movies for guys who like movies.” It was usually an action movie with lots of explosions, fights, bullets, and babes.  Well, as a fan of video games, I have just played the quintessential guy video [...]

All you can say is “OUCH!”

This is why I don’t play too many video games online. Apparently, a young Chinese man was in an internet cafe, playing a game with someone else in the same location. The opponent flew into a rage thinking this kid used a cheat code? Did this angry youth walk away and just call him a [...]

The Crocodile Hunter lives on…

in his daughter. Bindi Irwin, the daughter of the late Steve Irwin, is carrying on her father’s work of conservation. While she’s not wrestling crocodiles, she is starring in the latest ‘Free Willy’ movie. This does bring up a couple of questions for me though. Considering the recent Sea World issue, are we projecting the [...]

12 days to opening day

We’re in the throes of March Madness; the NBA and NHL will be close to starting the playoffs, but all I can think about is the last week and a half before the baseball season starts. I’ve always loved baseball for the simple fact that every pitch has the potential to be a difference maker [...]

How’s your bracket doing?

So, after a weekend of Sweet 16 action, or maybe even before depending on your picks, how does your bracket look? Any body have UNI toppling Kansas? Or how about Villanova falling to St. Mary’s? And who can forget Cornell knocking out Wisconsin? This is the point when I want to go back and listen [...]

Hollywood, the land of Remakes

Well, in the past 24 hours, I’ve been reminded that a remake of Clash of the Titans is coming out, and I also learned that they are remaking Nightmare on Elm Street. This new movie appears to take the movie back to its origins where Freddy was someone you actually feared meeting in your dreams. [...]

Cheating on your Hollywood wife

Far be it for me to spread gossip, especially concerning celbrities, but this one begs some kind of a question. There’s a rumor flying around that Sandra Bullock’s husband, Jesse James, cheated on her. There is a little credbility to the rumor as Bullock cancelled a trip abroad to promote her movie “The Blind Side” [...]

R.I.P. Peter Graves

Peter Graves, star of Mission Impossible, voiceover artist for television, died of a heart attack at age 83. While I didn’t see his turn on Mission Impossible, he will always be one of the highlights of the movie Airplane as the pilot Captain Oveur.  I watch him in that movie and laugh to the point [...]
