The first teaser trailer for the “Clash Of The Titans” remake hit the Internet machine today. It’s only a minute long but it packs in plenty of visual stimulus with accompanying power chords. I was completely digging the Sam Worthington-kicks ass vibe, the good looking CGI, heck, even the spoilerish Medusa reveal didn’t bother me. [...]

What is wrong with people? Live shows have become such a bummer due to the ignorant jackasses that seem intent on ruining your night. For example, I saw Iron & Wine open for The Swell Season a few months back. Iron & Wine played an all acoustic set and these three mid-20s morons were yapping [...]

This has also helped cheer me up after a Phillies loss.

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

It looks like Liam, lead singer of Oasis, has caused his brother, Noel, to quit the band for the 273rd time. BBC News has a cool article with a timeline that will explain all the insanity surrounding the band over the years.
Considering he left the band prior to this and they released a new [...]
