  • Michael’s Monster Mash Wrap Up

    Apple bobbing! Swedish meatballs! Soul pizza! Find out what happened at Michael’s big Halloween bash. Happy Election Day everybody! What, you didn’t vote? Me neither. Honestly I rarely do because those machines just seem kind of confusing. Plus, being locked up for 8 years is enough to make a guy never want to close himself off in such a tiny space ever again. But you probably knew I wasn’t going to talk about voting. If you’re like me, you might still be recovering from Halloween.

  • A Christmas Carol

    deadlydollshouse@gmail.com
    6 Nov 2009 | 4:25 am
    With breathtaking visuals, the faithfully adapted but uneven “A Christmas Carol” is too scary for younger children. There have been countless versions of Charles Dickens classic story A Christmas Carol, everyone from Mickey Mouse to the Muppets to George C. Scott have been featured in both musical and non-musical forms of the novel, but none has been seen like the new Robert Zemeckis 3D motion capture version. This is definitely not your mother’s version of A Christmas Carol: all the stops have been pulled out to make a visually stunning and entertaining, but overly intense,…

  • The Men Who Stare At Goats

    6 Nov 2009 | 4:25 am
    Ewan McGregor, Jedi missions, Jeff Bridges on LSD and goats.  Lots and lots of goats. I felt cheated. It’s 2003 and reporter Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor) finds himself in Iraq following a story about the American government’s involvement in the development and application of psychic soldiers called “Jedi”.  (I’ll give you a moment to take in the obvious irony.)  A program started by U.S. Army hard-ass turned new age guru Bill Django (Jeff Bridges) that’s been active for almost thirty years. Wilton’s informant and guide (both spiritually…

    6 Nov 2009 | 4:25 am
    In 2004 documentary filmmaker Joe Berlinger raised a curtain on the band Metallica in Some Kind of Monster. In Crude, he tackles a very different behemoth – corporate greed. Crude is a gut-wrenching documentary which highlights the struggle of the poor residents of Ecuador’s oil-producing Amazonian rainforest against Chevron, the multinational energy company. The plaintiffs in the case, the indigenous population, are seeking to hold Chevron responsible for environmental pollution – the dumping of over 18 billion gallons of toxic waste directly into streams and rivers. …

  • The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

    deadlydollshouse@gmail.com
    6 Nov 2009 | 4:25 am
    Nicholas Cage destroys another film in The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans The first The Bad Lieutenant was a 1992 Harvey Keitel vehicle that was all grit over polish, a film that showed the underbelly of being one of the city’s finest.  It was more of an art-house film that had all the elements of a big action piece.  So, I guess that it would make Hollywood sense (as compared to real sense) to lift the title and paste in on another rogue bad cop adventure and call it The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans.  The only element to transfer over from the…

    I love movies about dysfunctional families, though I’m not entirely sure why — while my family has its moments, we’re really not all that dysfunctional. At least I don’t think we are. But what better time of year than the holidays to indulge in films about families who need magazine racks for their issues? (I totally stole that line from Janeane Garofalo.) I think every family gets a little crazy during the holiday season. The (mostly) forced family interaction and all the pressure to have fun can make even the most fun-loving, well-adjusted person a sniveling mess of…

    We did it! More specifically and much less modestly, I did it — I won Tuesday’s election! My victory even got some coverage from Associated Press national political writer Liz Sidoti, who wrote, “A slew of cities selected mayors …” A win-win all around! No question it was an exciting campaign right up to the very end, what with David Byrne dropping out of the race just one day before the election. He said it was a show of solidarity with Afghanistan’s Abdullah Abdullah, another big fat quitter, but I think he just couldn’t take the heat. Green Party…

    Another new trailer for Guy Ritchie's comedy/action-fueled take on Sherlock Holmes has arrived online and you can inspect it below. There are a few more story fragments and a snippet or two of fresh footage, but it's largely what we've seen before, albeit with the action ramped up and the music more boisterous - Robert Downey Jr's Holmes being a smart arse, Jude Law's Watson getting infuriated, Mark Strong's villainous Lord Blackwood making ominous threats. We doubt anyone's mind will really be changed by this one - those who are ready to buy their ticket will still do so, and the haters will…

The lads over at Coming Soon tracked down the image at the American Film Market and snapped a pic. Rodriguez has just shot the film, adapted from his spoof trailer in Grindhouse that sees Danny Trejo as a renegade former Mexican Federale on the run after he's double-crossed and framed by a crooked politician. Alba's character is an ICE (Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, in case you wondered) who has made it her mission to track him down. She looks the part, though we can't help thinking…

    The proper version of the Salt teaser trailer, starring Angelina Jolie, has gone up online. You may have caught the Russian version, but unless you speak Russian, most of the dialogue would have been impenetrable. Still, the action played well enough and now we all get to enjoy it with the added bonus of the original voices. It's being described as Lady Bourne Identity, and we can certainly see that. Jolie knows how to handle action - and it has a solid supporting cast which includes Liev Schreiber and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Take a look below and let us know what you think.

Faris, meanwhile,will play a documentary filmmaker who meets up with our heroes. Journey To The Centre Of The Earth director Eric Brevig is gearing up to shoot the thing in New Zealand next month……

    Some artists are more than merely great. There are some artists that for a period of years, a period that is finite, consistently produced music that, it can be argued, far exceeded the work of their peers. For that brief period of time they were definitely Masters of the Form.

  • I think I like ‘Mandy’ Better: A Review of Men Who Stare at Goats

    6 Nov 2009 | 1:00 am
    Men Who Stare at Goats starts with the disclaimer: “More of this is true than you would believe,” and the movie needs that declaration, because without it’s just George Clooney with a funny mustache. The fact that some (and who knows how much really) of the film is true is what makes it ultimately worth watching, and not just some wacky, though mostly well-done, throw-away.

  • Review: Haunt #1

    5 Nov 2009 | 1:00 am
    A collaboration between Image Comics' own Robert Kirkman and Todd McFarlane seems like a match made in heaven for most comic nerds, but don't shit your britches just yet. The advertised "Kirkman and McFarlane team-up" is a bit misleading. To be clear, Kirkman is writing the script of Haunt based on characters dreamed up by McFarlane, who is not the main artist on this book, but the inker. In fact, the entire art team on Haunt is rather complicated, with Greg Capullo providing layouts, Ryan Ottley doing finishes, and McFarlane on inks. So those of you expecting to see art…

    This week's Old School Friday is Songs that Make Me Smile. I came across this clip from The Doris Day Show from 1975 - it's a duet between Doris Day and John Denver.I know a lot of people never cared for John Denver but there was something about his music that I always loved - I miss him and his music. Pairing John Denver with Doris Day is almost a "Sunshine" overload but this medley of Sunshine songs does bring a smile to your lips - if only at the end when you watch those two skinny little tooshies dance away from the camera in a happy little jig.The set and clothing are predictably yellow,…

    Hideki Matsui has become the first Japanese baseball player to ever be named World Series MVP in Major League Baseball.  Even though Matsui has always been in the shadow of fellow countryman Ichiro Suzuki, both here and in Japan, Matsui did what Ichiro could not do for the Seattle Mariners in actually helping win a World Series title for the New York Yankees. Whether or not his excellent performance in the post-season will make the Yankees sign him for another year remains to be seen.  But for right now Hideki Matsui currently personifies the best in Major League Baseball.

According to channelnewsasia.com, Taiwanese/Japanese actor Takeshi Kaneshiro was spotted in Los Angeles by fans.  This has fueled speculation that Takeshi is in talks to star in a Hollywood project in the near future. It’s certainly not out of the question.  Korean megastar Rain is about to star in NINJA ASSASSIN, Korean actor Lee Byung-hun recently played Storm Shadow in GI JOE: RISE OF COBRA and Korean-American actor/model Daniel Henney was also in X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE.

You’re probably thinking, “That’s not a good reason to spotlight this guy!  Action figure reviewers on youtube are a dime a dozen! “.  And you’d be right, except for one thing.  He’s Filipino American. There is a surprisingly small amount of Asian or Pacific Islander action figure reviewers on youtube.  And this is despite my own personal belief that…

  • Meet the DSi LL

    mark
    1 Nov 2009 | 7:57 pm
    Nintendo is releasing another iteration of their popular hand held gaming device.  It’s called the DSi LL and the biggest difference between this and the previous DSi is that it has a much bigger screen (93% bigger in fact) and it also comes with a larger pen-like stylus for strictly at-home use. This is a pretty big gamble for Nintendo since the DSi was only released earlier this year and, outside of the larger screens, the DSi LL doesn’t really have more to offer for those who have already bought a DSi.  Perhaps they are going after the few people who were hesitant to buy the…

According to Variety, the first choices are Dan Aykroyd as Yogi and Justin Timberlake as his trusty sidekick. “Heeeey, Boo-Boo.

It's perfect to use as a light for your phone's camera, or just as a flashlight. I recently wrote about an app for the BlackBerry that turns the flash into a flashlight, and I have to admit,…

But these [barbaric] traps continue to hide among the brush and grass, trapping everything from neighborhood dogs and cats to the occasional human. Even supermodels aren't immune, as demonstrated by the photo of Gemma Ward (above).For those of you interested in displaying one of these antiquated torture devices on your…

    Aniqa Mittens and dress by HMS LatexIn my not-so-imaginary world, the world "latex" usually conjures up images of my yearly gynecological exam, with the doctor snapping on a pair of latex gloves before going in for the kill. But Sophie, the Paris-based designer (and fashionable fetishist) behind HMS Latex has given me pause with these couture latex creations even Gaultier can sink his teeth into. And, while I don't usually wear gloves unless it's colder than a witches tit in a brass bra, I might actually be willing to take a pair of these for a spin. (You can see more of her amazing latex…

  • Are We All Really "Team Zahara?"

    In the aftermath of Allison Samuels' controversial article, Zahara Jolie Pitt and the Politics of Uncombed Hair, Newsweek asked three bloggers, including yours truly, to write a response to the article and Samuels' rebuttal to the criticism.  I gave my response the title Are We All Really "Team Zahara?" but I am fine with how Newsweek printed it:  Nichelle Gainer: It's Time To Fully Embrace Natural Hair.  I am also happy to see that Newsweek didn't shy away from asking Roslyn Hardy Holcomb for her response, Hair Don'ts Hold Us Back, after her scathing…

    I'm not sure what to think about it.  At first glance, I knew it wasn't an American commercial - and not only due to the model's bare-bottom in the opening shot.  There is an elegance in this ad that you just don't find on our airwaves.  I wouldn't go as far as saying that it is "empowering" to women - but I am not offended by it either.  Then again, I am not Muslim (did you know that there was a ban on women selling lingerie in Saudi Arabia?) Let me know what you think of this ad - especially the twist at the end.

It’s translated to several languages (among one Danish my mother tongue), and it’s simply a fantastic book. The short description from Ken Folletts homepage reads: In a time of civil war, famine and religious strife, there rises a magnificent Cathedral in Kingsbridge. Against this backdrop, lives entwine: Tom, the master builder, Aliena, the noblewoman, Philip, the prior of Kingsbridge, Jack, the artist in stone and Ellen, the woman from the forest who…

  • Why can’t Heroes stop sucking?

    Mike
    30 Sep 2009 | 6:48 am
    This is the fourth season of Heroes. By now, Tim Kring and his writing staff on the set of Heroes has to have heard all the complaints a million times about why viewers are troubled by the lack of quality on the series. Yet it seems like they hear the criticism and let it go out the other ear, never actually listening. The fourth season is now two episodes old and I have no idea why anyone would like any of these “heroes” aside from perhaps Peter. And one other, whom had the best moment in Heroes history if you ask me. What are these characters up to? Claire is at college…

    David Gilmour has the Kwan It’s easy to find countdowns to the best guitar solos ever. And it’s often the same guitar heroes you see and hear on these lists. Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, Jimmy Hendrix, Slash, Kirk Hammet, Yngwie Malmsteen, Eric Clapton, Brian May, Tom Morello and many others (this list is by far exhausted). But we seldom hear why this solo is so fantastic, that it deserves a place in the great hall of fame. I’ll try to tell you in words why I value one solo above any other. I hope that you will challenge me in the comments. What is a great guitar solo?

Bryant would eventually become named one of the greatest coaches to ever walk the sideline. People say that he was one of the hardest coaches to play for in college history. Today’s players would not even come close to making it through one of Bryant’s camps. Two of Bryant’s players eventually coached in the NFL and college.

Give me the Hollies' "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" emanating from a car radio and I'm happy. However, cool oldies do not necessarily make a good film, so I was quite pleased that the screenplay by director Gwen Wynne and Mary Beth Fielder effectively evokes all the emotional conflict between their many fascinating characters.The movie centers around Harry Goodhart (Tate Donovan) and his two teenage daughters, Madeline and Daisy, who move to…

  • Groovy Gay Film Festival #9: The Big Gay Musical

    4 Nov 2009 | 4:44 pm
    The Big Gay Musical really isn't a true musical. No one breaks into song while walking down the street in the rain or running to catch a train or a boat. But most of the characters in the film are in an Off-Broadway show called Adam and Steve Just the Way God Made 'Em, which gives them all a chance to show off their vocal prowess. Also, a few people perform at an open mic night at The Duplex, an actual New York City cabaret and piano bar. So there's a lot of singing in the movie--but it's always on a stage in front of an audience.I also found the film to be much more of a drama than a comedy.

The people were electric, screaming from the buildings. There was even a couple fighting with each other at the bar during the last 2 innings. But as soon as it came down to the final strike, the couple watched the television screen, and joined in on the celebration as Cano made the final out to Teixeira. The fight was over.

    By now we should not be surprised when tinsel town takes shots at our military.  However, when it has a comedic tone we can’t be sure if they are really attacking our armed forces or just using them as a neutral basis for humor.  Based on Hollywood’s recent past (Lions for Lambs, Redacted, Rendition), we can bet they enjoy every shot the can take at the military.  This film, on the other hand, may just be nothing more than a silly story about a misguided group of men. Based on a book by Jon Ronson, The Men Who Stare at Goats is the story of the First Earth Battalion handbook which was…

    The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported this morning that the national unemployment rate jumped from 9.8 percent in September to 10.2 percent in October, its highest level in 26 years. President Barack Obama, meanwhile, remains absurdly dismissive of these figures and continues to push his health care reform legislation. And why not? After all, he has a job. What does he care? The economy and job security may very well be the taxpayers' top priorities, but reforming health insurance and getting re-elected are his top priorities. And since he is the president, health insurance reform will…

Conservatives have had the feeling since February that President Barack Obama isn't interested in their wishes or concerns regarding health care or the economy.

Rather than admit they're worried and acknowledge that perhaps they should be more inclusive in their legislative affairs -- as President Barack Obama promised they would a year ago -- they'll smugly tell you that the president's agenda wasn't on any of the ballots cast today, and that these elections were about local issues. I beg to differ. While it may be true that not a single national race was on the…

The recent good news that has been reported about the economy is the result of artificiality, and is only as solid as the next stimulus payment.
