Meet Sarah: PayPal’s attempt at AI tech support. She’s new here, so give her a break.

Being only an entry level nerd, I’m not exactly the world’s biggest fan of either Star Trek or Star Wars, but this bit of news? Uh…no. Galaxy Clash Star Wars and Star Trek Series to Meetup in Crossover Film What if the mission to boldly go where no man has gone before ended up in [...]

Have you ever wanted to see a movie without any sort of conflict, engaging characters, or anything that’s even remotely woven together into a mystery or drama? Then congratulations! You will enjoy Stolen. There is nothing even remotely connected or functional about this movie. But rather than bash it, I will turn it into a [...]

Brooklyn’s Finest, Antoine Fuqua’s latest down and dirty cop drama, opens with a line of dialogue that went something like “There’s right and wrong.  Then, there’s righter and wronger.”  The film tries to explore this theory, but in the end it’s just too boring for me to care about ethics or morals or anything other [...]

Tonight’s the night, the only awards show actually worthy of being liveblogged (yet I still liveblog all the others, go figure). Join me and my panel of experts, or whoever ends up showing up to help me out, as we tell you what to think about the Academy Awards. Because that’s what the Internet is [...]

Life and laziness sort of got in the way, but I’ve finally made my Top Ten of 2009 list and SPOILER alert—Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will not be making the list. I should mention the five Oscar-nominated films that I haven’t seen yet.  These are my unseen also-rans (“never-rans?”)—condolences to Il Divo (1), The [...]

I really liked A Serious Man. It was much better than the Coen’s previous effort; being more thoughtful and much funnier. It’s not just about some man and his midlife crisis, but about faith and perspective in 60′s suburbia. God plays a big role in the film, governing everyone’s lives for better or for worse, [...]

Man—life really got in the way… It’s already February and I still haven’t finished my Top Disappointments & Surprises or Top 10 Films of 2009…  Better bang this post out tonight (without pics) so that I can focus on that Top 10 list….
