There aren’t many things in the world that can make me feel better after the Phillies loss last night. I’ve tried listening to Allison Krauss, Zooey Deschanel, nothing is working. This did the trick. Thank you Mr. Walken.

ABC aired the first official “Lost” promo during “FlashForward” last night. I didn’t see it as I was watching the Yankees beat my Phillies, thus sending me spiraling into a depressive funk. The promo doesn’t have one second of new footage in it, which doesn’t help me out of my almost comatose behavior this morning. [...]
In an effort to become the first classic indie rocker, Peter Gabriel will record and release an album full of covers in 2010. It’s called “Scratch My Back” and it will allegedly feature songs by noted indie rockers Bon Iver, Magnetic Fields, Radiohead, and the Arcade Fire. I’m mildly interested in hearing Gabriel’s version of [...]
It’s hard to believe it but Fox has managed to put together eight years of “24″. Since I’m a Day One Fan of the show, I’ve seen the highs (seasons two and four) and lows (season six, ugh…). This year doesn’t look much different from the others. Jack yells, runs, shoots, and, of course, tortures [...]
Matt Damon apparently is in every movie this winter. Instead of fighting racism with rugby (cheap reduction), Damon is hooked back up with his Jason Bourne director Paul Greengrass in the very actiony looking “Green Zone”. The Green Zone is the area in Baghdad that is known as The International Zone and this film is [...]
There are certain undeniable truths in life. I’m beginning to believe that one of those is an amazing Clint Eastwood-directed movie every December. The first trailer for “Invictus” doesn’t change my mind. If you want to talk Oscar worthy, then look no further than this one.

It sures sounds like this “Amelia” flick is a complete wreck of a movie. All the early big critic reviews are fairly brutal, which means that nothing good is really hitting theaters this weekend, unless you are a complete and total freak that’s into the “Saw” movies. If that’s the case, get off my blog [...]
A friend of mine quoted Alan’s wolfpack speech from “The Hangover” this morning on his Facebook page (dork) and it got me thinking…why not Zach Galifianakis for Best Supporting Actor? If Robert Downey Jr. can get nominated for “Tropic Thunder”, they can throw a bone to the best comedic performance of 2009 right? For some reason, [...]
A) I don’t usually get personal here. B) Even though I love sports and I’m consumed by them on a daily basis, I don’t write about them here. C) The greatness of the Philadelphia Phillies cannot be ignored. I’ve been a Philly sports fan my entire life and it’s still tough to believe that it’s no fluke…one [...]
Since I was busy watching the Phillies crush the Dodgers hopes and dreams in an 11-0 rout last night, I haven’t seen the new “Curb Your Enthusiasm” or “Bored To Death”. The amount of neurosis in those two shows combined would topple even the strongest of healthy personalities. From what I’ve read, the “Seinfeld” cast [...]
Say what you will or about Mel Gibson but no matter what, the guy can flat out carry a movie. The first trailer for Mel’s first starring role in seven years seems like it may have been worth the wait. Sure, it looks like a typical Boston cop thriller…but there’s something about watching Mel Gibson [...]
Yes, the headline is extremely poor taste and yes, I am ashamed. I could delete it right now and just say “R.I.P. Captain Lou”, but that’s just boring when I could mock Cyndi Lauper and report Captain’s Lou’s death all at the same time. One of wrestling’s legendary people, Captain Lou Albano, passed away today [...]
There really isn’t any doubt that Terry Gilliam is one of the best visual directors working today. Every single one of his movies can always be described as “looking like a Terry Gilliam movie”. On a side note…why the hell isn’t “Time Bandits” on BluRay? It looks like “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” has all the [...]
The indie rock snob supergroup Monsters Of Folk released their debut album yesterday. I’ve given the album a listen and…it’s okay. I know, I know, how could an album with M. Ward, Jim James, Conor Oberst, and Mike Mogis be bad? It’s not bad as much as it’s kind of underwhelming. This could be the [...]
You have to love when the fall television schedule starts to pick up steam. It picked up a bit this week with the debut of “The Jay Leno Show”, which I’ve watched each night. Well, that streak ends this evening because that show is freaking terrible. Man, it’s just bad. Those sketches aren’t funny, his [...]
Fact: David Fincher hasn’t made a bad movie yet. “Seven”, “Fight Club”, “Panic Room”, “Benjamin Button”, even “Alien 3″ is good. Fact: “Children Of Men” is a badass movie. Sadly, nobody saw it. Fact: “Lost” is the greatest television show of all times. Fact: This Nike commercial, titled “Alter Ego” was directed by David Fincher, shot by “Children [...]
This trailer for “A Single Man” starring Colin Firth sure pours on the drama doesn’t it? The strings, the upset-looking people, the always crying (but not as much as Meryl Streep) Julianne Moore…it’s got indie drama written all over it and it was just picked up by the Weinstein brothers. Naturally, this will put the [...]
