Brian Bites Into Shakira’s She Wolf (CD Review)
November 20th, 2009 by Brian White
Shakira means “thankful” in Arabic, and as history has proven, she has a lot to be thankful for and proud of in her short life. She’s a Columbian singer-songwriter, musician, record producer, dancer, philanthropist and a prodigy. She is a native Spanish speaker who can also converse in fluent English, Portuguese and Italian. She has an IQ score of 140, which many scholars consider borderline genius. Continue reading ‘Brian Bites Into Shakira’s She Wolf (CD Review)’
For all of you familiar with my former 
My beloved Jessica is back, finally gracing the silver screen once again! It’s been awhile since we last seen her in action with her recent pregnancy and all, but now that she’s got that all over and done with we can finally move on and watch her do some serious a#$-kicking once again. Jessica Alba will be kicking a#$ as an immigration customs enforcement agent in Robert Rodriguez’s upcoming film Machete. 
Making a splash at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, the Starz Network heavily promoted its upcoming series Spartacus: Blood and Sand. Fans clamored for any memorabilia relating to the gladatorial production and questions filled the air about possible show content. What we do know is that everyone’s favorite warrior princess is back. That’s right, folks. 
November 17, 2009 was a festive day for all Fight Club fans! Yesterday, the cult classic film turned 10 years old. Parties were held around the globe, in festive celebration, in observance of Project Mayhem’s 10th Birthday. Last night, mischief and mayhem ensued when midnight screenings of Fight Club were held in Los Angeles and New York. I wish I could have been there. My wife just sighs and says “oh God!” 
Continuing with my non-stop Shakira coverage as of late, I am excited to announce the debut of her newest U.S. music video “Give It Up To Me.” You can check the video out in its entirety below. There’s no denying, after watching this video, that the Columbian superstar is embarking on a mission to conquer American audiences with her infectious Latin rhythms, dynamic yearning vocals and her unmitigated sexual appeal that only Shakira can deliver. 
We all know that saving the real world is easier said than done. Wouldn’t it be great if we could just all be professional full-time students for a living? I would love that job! Unfortunately, the world does not work that way for the majority of us. We are all forced to get eventually get a job and then the uncertainty begins as we struggle to climb up the ladder of success to sometimes find out everything we may have wanted may not always be what’s most important to us after all. 
Recently released on the Playstation Network is the new downloadable game, Star Trek D-A-C. For $9.99, players can buy this game with its permanent home on their PS3 hard drive. Star Trek D-A-C is a top-down shooter set in deep space where you can choose from a variety of ships, which include a flagship (such as the Enterprise or Constitution), missile cruiser, support frigate, bomber and fighter. 
I have not one… not two…but three new Blu-ray release dates to announce today! Are you ready? The first one is more of a confirmation rather than an announcement so please forgive me if I lead you on. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has officially announced a January 12th Blu-ray release date for Rob Zombie’s 
I honestly had no intentions of ever seeing the latest disaster flick, Roland Emmerich’s 2012, on the big screen. Had it not been for the recommendation to do so from fellow reviewer Bob Ignizio, then I probably would not have. I actually remember telling my co-worker Sandy this past Friday that there’s no way I will be seeing this. But, I was having a bad day, a somber time in class and I just figured what the heck…let’s watch some stuff get blown up! 
Boldly go where no man, not to mention Blu-ray, has ever gone before. A Blu-ray adventure that is 40 years in the making. CBS and Paramount Home Entertainment will be making every Trekkie’s Christmas a “Blu” one this year when they bring 
2012 is completely ridiculous trash that turns massive destruction and the deaths of billions of people (including, by implication, just about everyone watching it) into fodder for entertainment. Of course the disaster movies of the seventies did the same thing on a smaller scale, and who can resist The Towering Inferno or Earthquake? 
Earlier today I received the email that made my day even better. Not only have I been at home getting in some much needed R&R, today being Veteran’s Day, but I also was notified to be on the lookout for my Blu-ray review copy, sometime next week, of the movie that completely changed my life and thought processes. I’m talking about Fight Club of course! Never has a movie made such a profound impact on my life. It was a liberating fresh breath of oxygen that stimulated and brought to life whole brain lobes, within my skull, that I never knew existed. 
Arguably, the most popular G.I. Joe character is Snake Eyes. I fall into the majority here as he is certainly my favorite Joe. Why do so many G.I. Joe fans flock to this one soldier? Maybe it’s the intrigue of his silence along with his mysterious past. Maybe it’s because he wears all black. Maybe it’s just because the dude is one kick-@$$ ninja who knocks down whatever gets in his way.
