Bogus Brit Rumor of the Day: Brad Pitt to Play He-Man? (BLOG)

Bogus Brit Rumor of the Day: Brad Pitt to Play He-Man? I'm sorry, but you have to hand it to them Brits for taking a fairly bland rumor and adding to it a whole lot of pizazz. According to The Sun Online (which, right there, means take everything I'm about to say with...

The GOOD, The BAD, and the MOVIES (BLOG)

I’m not typically the one to write reviews on anything, and it’s not that I don’t have the desire, it’s just that I like to leave that up to the more skilled and qualified, like my buddy, Doug. So, when I decided to take the reigns this time and do a little blurb on...

This is Sparta… (blog)

During my absense from blogging, I did write one article which is the review of 300. I watched it on the opening week but never finish the review. That was quite a while ago but since I haven't post a review in a while, what the hell, here it is... I saw 300 and IT....

300 Spartans at the Gates of Fire: Part Two (BLOG)

As mentioned, 300 is generating quite a lot of argument between those who love it or loathe it. Much more than one would expect from a genre movie. Obviously it is touching some nerves. When I saw the film, I observed a rare instance of spontaneous applause breaking...
