It is everywhere. It is in your favorite film and TV series and you don’t even know it. It is in all the Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies. It is in animated films such as Toy Soldiers and Over The Hedge but you never noticed. It is the Wilhelm Scream sound bite. It was [...]

Futurama is coming back on DVD in a brand new movie titled Bender’s big score. It ain’t going to be showing in a theater near you but it will be available on DVD just in time for the holidays. I hope that if the DVD is successful, the idiots at Fox will consider bringing the [...]

When it comes to talent shows (very popular on TV these days,) all sorts of peculiar people come out of the trenches and try to have their 15 minutes of fame.

I have seen many parodies of this performance but it was only through the magic of YouTube that I finally saw the original rendition of Rocket Man (I Think It’s Going To Be a Long, Long Time) by no other than Star Trek’s Captain Kirk.

Movie Review: Sleeper

By Bigsky • Sep 9th, 2007 • Category: Entertainment

A great little movie that did get more acclaim than usual but seemed to disappear rather quickly from theatres was “Notes on a Scandal”, starring Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench. Based on the novel by Hoe Zeller in 2003, Cate Blanchett gives the usual great performance, however, the scene stealer and exceptional performance was given [...]

What has become of Entertainment News

By Bigsky • Aug 30th, 2007 • Category: Entertainment

It seems to me that, entertainment news has become nothing more than a dirty closet, this kind of news use to report what stars were going to be in upcoming movies, and following the stars to other countries or exotic locations (with the exception of the Enquirer) were to determine if they were shooting a [...]



Rush Hour 3 review

By Alpha • Aug 20th, 2007 • Category: Entertainment

I can now say that I have probably watched the worst movie of this summer. Rush Hour 3 was just plain pathetic. A more atrocious movie has never been made. I can’t even believe that I wasted $14 of my hard earned money to watch this ridiculous movie.
Chris Tucker seized to be funny a [...]

Japanese TV is off-the-wall in more aspects than one. Their game shows are often so crazy that could be considered borderline abusive to the participants. But most, if not all, are extremely funny.
