Lost: Season 6 – Episode 6.10 – The Package – Recap/Review

Jin and Sun are back in their first above average episode in two seasons, Season 4’s flash forward fake out, and the results are fantastic. Over in sideways world we pick up after Jin has been detained at LAX, the 25,000 dollars Customs discovered confiscated, and he has missed his meeting he was sent for.  The two check into the hotel, →


Suggestion Box (March 22 – 28)

Movies: Accidents Happen Trailer – Oooo… Look at the slo mo…  Okay, this movie about an accident-prone family and how they cope with it looks to be pretty interesting all around, but it had me hooked a couple seconds into the trailer with the slow motion baseball rebound…  Check it out here. Despicable Me Trailer – All right, with this trailer →


Now Playing Review – How To Train Your Dragon

DreamWorks’ How to Train Your Dragon is an entertaining and adorable (don’t worry boys, you will still be manly if you see it) film that is by far one of their best attempts at removing Pixar from the computer animation throne. In the Viking community a name can say a lot about the person; so with a name like Hiccup people →


Eastern Promises 2 To Hit Screens Next Year?

David Cronenberg and Viggo Mortensen will be teaming up for a fourth time it seems, after their upcoming Sigmund Freud biopic shooting this year, and it will be for a sequel I am dying for, Eastern Promises 2.  If you haven't seen the first film stop reading, go out and see it, and come back and read this. The film sets →


Review: Hot Tub Time Machine

Hot Tub Time Machine is even more silly and absurd than you think and is a lot of fun but is a tad disjointed and random for its own good. Following a seemingly accidental suicide attempt, a group of friends go back to their old vacation stomping grounds to blow off some steam and reunite after growing far apart into their →


Review: How To Train Your Dragon

How to Train Your Dragon is a high quality effort from DreamWorks that while still a far cry from Pixar overcomes its duller moments with some really amazing scenes of wonder. The film follows our unlikely hero, Hiccup, who on an island full of Vikings that’s only goal is to fight dragons is not very good at the job.  To make →


Scott Pilgrim vs The World Teaser Trailer!!!!!!!!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Lost: Season 6 – Episode 6.9 – Ab Aeterno – Recap/Review

The Richard Alpert episode has finally arrived and it does not disappoint and this episode essentially shows us how it all began in this story we have been watching called LOST. Picking up the night of Richard, Jack, and Hurley’s arrival to the beach a couple episodes ago the episode opens with Ilana telling the group an extended version of the →


Suggestion Box (March 15 – 21)

I don’t know what was going on this week because usually there isn’t too much that catches my eye, but I was overwhelmed with things to be excited about this week.  Maybe it is just because I had a lot more free time on my hands… Movies: The Greatest Trailer – Looks to be a touching movie following a family →


Rental Review – The Blair Witch Project

As many of you may know by now (considering I have said this on numerous occasions) I love horror films.  I love them so much that in the past I have gone to the movie theater on my own to watch them (and sat as far away as possible from the only other person in the room / creepy man →


Spike Jonze’s I’m Here Short Film Online Now

Spike Jonze's latest film, a short film that premiered at Sundance this year, is finally avaialable online as promised this past January and you can watch here. Here is the catch, only so many people are allowed to watch it everyday so good luck trying to view it.  I say bookmark and try everyday.  Andrew Garfield and Sienna Guilory star as →


Review: The Bounty Hunter

The Bounty Hunter is a blah effort that while not absolutely horrible, is no where near being good either.  The film’s identity crisis only fuels this mediocre effort at best. Milo and Nicole are ex-husband and wife and haven’t seen each other since the divorce.  Nicole works for a local paper and is on the brink of breaking a story about →


Review: Repo Men

Repo Men is a ridiculous movie, but there is a lot of fun to be had and if you give yourself over to the insanity of it all it is a fairly entertaining flick. Remy is a repo man, a repo man of human organs in this world in the future where a company called, The Union, has a monopoly over →


Review: Diary of a Wimpy Kid

This adaptation of the well loved Diary of a Wimpy Kid series finds the right balance of humor and sentiment to make a solid kids movie the whole family can laugh at and enjoy. Greg Heffley is the titles Wimpy Kid though he doesn’t quite know it.  Greg thinks he is hot stuff and will do just about anything to cement →


Rental Review – Resident Evil: Degeneration

Resident Evil: Degeneration is an animated film that takes place within the timeline of the game franchise, and it probably would have worked as a game, but unfortunately it comes up lacking as a film. Picking a new hub for a zombie outbreak, RE Degeneration takes on a whole new level of failed security and terrorist attacks at an airport.  For →

Rental Review – Year One

Year One takes a trip back to prehistoric times for its inspiration, but unfortunately no one remembered to pack the comedy. Going off of survival of the fittest standards, Zed and Oh would have been bred out of the species a long time ago.  In a nutshell, they are lazy outcasts who are unskilled at both aspects of their hunter/gatherer way →


Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Teaser Poster!

An Epic of Epic Epicness!  Coming this August, now where is that trailer Edgar Wright?


Lost: Season 6 – Episode 6.8 – Recon – Review

Lost’s 9th hour was a Sawyer flash sideways episode and turned in some of the best material from either of the plot lines this season and sets up a couple final pieces before all hell is going to break loose; I am assuming after next weeks hotly anticipated Richard Alpert episode is when everyone’s plans will get put into motion.  →


Gaming Review – Heavy Rain (PS3 exclusive)

When Heavy Rain was first introduced it was talked about as revolutionizing the way video games are structured, creating a more interactive experience rather than just an empty button masher.  After playing it I can say that they achieved the majority of what they set out to do, and though I wouldn't go as far as to say that I →

Suggestion Box (March 1 – 14)

Movies: Iron Man 2 Trailer – A second trailer for Iron Man 2 has been released, and let me just say the last couple seconds are epic.  Check it out here. Repo Men Red Band Trailer – Though this trailer may not divulge too much more abut the film, the red band status allows for a better depiction of what the movie →


Now Playing Review – Alice in Wonderland

The 1951 animated version of Alice’s story is far from the top of my list of favorite Disney films from my childhood, but that does not keep me from being overly disappointed in the additional trip down the rabbit hole in this year’s Alice in Wonderland. 13 years following young Alice’s nightmare riddled nights of a mysterious world with crazy talking →


Review: Greenberg

Noah Baumbach’s latest, Greenberg, is just as engaging of a film as his previous efforts and is an interesting dual character study of a couple of people who can’t quite figure out their lives. Roger is lost in life and he decides to try and sort it our by taking a break from life by moving into his brother’s house in →
