A Trailer Ahead Of The Game
Thursday, February 14th, 2008Everyone has spent the day poring over the new trailer for INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL. While I thought the trailer was a whipsmart homage to the feel-good eighties era of moviemaking, something dark and cynical rose up from my aging heart while watching it.
We’ve been through this before.

Eric’s Top 5 Music Videos Of All Time
Friday, December 14th, 2007There have been alot of great music videos over the years, well not recently, so trying to pick my top five is very hard.

Ray’s Top Five Videos Of All Time
Thursday, December 13th, 2007Music videos today are as relevant as my old KC And The Sunshine Band 8-track cassette.

While I will probably not see Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, I do believe that it is important for every man, and possibly woman, to ask themselves this important question when faced with difficult decisions…
No Country For Old Men - Chris’ Review
Wednesday, November 28th, 2007Ray’s review of No Country For Old Men, is exactly right. This is a near perfect film. The performances are career defining. And there is little that the words of even the best reviewers can do to really explain its brilliance. The reason is simple.
