The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (review)
The sparkly vampire guy and the shirtless werewolf guy, they’re still fighting over perfect, perfect Bella, whose perfection extends to a delicate and supposedly adorable feminine idiocy…
the oh-no! DVD of the week: ‘Nuclear Hurricane’
A Sci Fi Channel original, of course (from back before it was Syfy): At a nuclear power plant, the cooling system becomes a problem when the mother of all storms is headed straight towards it. As the hurricane gets stronger, and with the nuclear core in serious danger of meltdown, time is not on it’s … more…
trailer break: ‘Little Fockers’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Because nothing says Christmas like an old-fashioned Grampa boner joke. It’s traditional, like turkey and presents and candles and caroling. Little Fockers opens in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. on December 22.
question of the day: Has TV simply gone crazy?
I’ve said more than once that even if Sturgeon’s Law holds true for TV — if 95 percent of what’s on the tube is crap (and that may be underestimating the amount of crap) — there’s still more non-crap than I can ever find the time to watch. Which is something I often take comfort … more…
watch it: “Why Twilight Is Popular”
Hello, men! I’d like to point out that, despite what this video states, there are gals everywhere — not just guys everywhere — who are dumbfounded by Twilight and don’t understand why it’s so damn popular.

trailer break: ‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… If there was any doubt after National Treasure and National Treasure: Book of Secrets that director Jon Turteltaub and Nicolas Cage were intent on taking a concept loaded with romance and adventure and old-fashioned Hollywood magic — the case of those films, ancient artifacts and secret societies … more…
link me! social network me!
Someone should invent social networking sites with vaguely naughty-ish names, such as Lick and Bite, so I could say “Lick me!” and “Bite me!” Anyway, I’ve added clickable links to some of the more popular social networking sites — Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Google Buzz, Yahoo! Buzz, Reddit, and Fark — to the bottom of each … more…
‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: Matt Smith and Orbital at Glastonbury
So many readers submitted this to me this morning that I can’t believe there’s anyone left who hasn’t seen it. But in case you haven’t, check out Matt Smith at Glastonbury Festival, who joined the band Orbital onstage last night to perform the Doctor Who theme song: Or listen to Orbital’s studio version of the … more…
question of the day: Is there ever a good reason to open a movie on any day other than Friday?
Last week the Tom Cruise/Cameron Diaz action comedy Knight and Day opened on a Wednesday, ostensibly to avoid the Friday opening, two days later, of the Adam Sandler “family” comedy Grown Ups. It looks — to my eyes, having seen both films as well as examined the marketing of them — as if the two … more…
