Peerflix/LiveUniverse: still a deadbeat

Still no money from Peerflix/LiveUniverse, who owe me slightly over $900 in contractually obligated ad revenue (I discussed this a few weeks back). Eric D. Snider, another webmaster of a movie blog who’s been stiffed by Peerflix/LiveUniverse, has started a blog dedicated to shaming LiveUniverse into paying up.

trailer break: ‘Bolt’

Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… What was that movie with the dog and the cat on a crosscountry road trip to search for something or other? Milo and Otis? Yeah, that’s it. That’s what I think of when I see this trailer. Oh, and Bill Murray warning us about dogs and … more…

trailer break: ‘Hunger’

Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… I’m not sure this is, strictly speaking, a trailer: it seems to be more a kind of promo reel, which isn’t quite the same thing, and it seems to cut off just before the end. But it’s worth checking out because it’s so striking. There’s not … more…

the oh-no! DVD of the week: ‘Beer for My Horses’

Vigilante justice… it’s a real blast! Yee-haw, kemosabes! Country music superstar Toby Keith — with such No. 1 hits as “Ain’t Nothin’ More American Than a 12-Miles-to-the-Gallon Pickup” and “Get Your Filthy Liberal Homo Hands Off My Big Hard Gun”! — stars as former convict turned small-town deputy Joe “Jimmy Bob” “Steve” McQueen who’s havin’ … more…
