Gerard Butler’s Gamer Invades Blu-ray In January!

GamerGamer is another movie that totally slipped past my radar, this year, during its theatrical run.  If only I had more time in life to accomplish everything I want to.  I bet we all say that at one point or another.  Anyway, enough excuses!  My time to see Gamer in glorious High-Definition will be here before I know it.  Lionsgate has announced a January 19th Blu-ray release date for the action packed thriller starring everyone’s favorite Spartan, Gerard Butler, Dexter’s Michael C. Hall, Ludacris and Kyra Sedgwick. Continue reading ‘Gerard Butler’s Gamer Invades Blu-ray In January!’

Jamie Foxx & Gerard Butler; Law Abiding Citizens

Law Abiding CitizenWhat a twisted film.  I loved it.  There is no sense in hiding my feelings for Law Abiding Citizen starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler.  I really can’t remember that last time I’d been to the theater two days in a row, but after the draining monotony of Amelia yesterday, I needed some cinematic Listerine to wash the taste out of my mouth.  I really don’t know where in the world to begin with this movie. Continue reading ‘Jamie Foxx & Gerard Butler; Law Abiding Citizens’

A Starry Evening with Tara Cardinal

Tara CardinalWhile attending the 2009 Spike TV Scream Awards, I had the privilege of meeting one very unique person.  Her resumé is quite diverse and is only outmatched by her intense drive to succeed and reach the top.  Tara Cardinal is a self-proclaimed stunt diva as well as a scream queen, entertainment analyst, actress and creator/producer of Legend of the Red Reaper.  With the kind of schedule any one of those occupations has, it’s a wonder how Tara balances the aspects of each, but so far, she’s done so successfully. Continue reading ‘A Starry Evening with Tara Cardinal’

Amelia Doesn’t Soar to New Heights

AmeliaFirst you’ve got Oscar-winner Hilary Swank.  Next, add in some Richard Gere and then throw in a little Ewan McGregor for good measure.  What do you have?  An extremely talented cast, that’s what.  Amelia is a film about the professional and private life of famed aviator, Amelia Earhart.  I will sheepishly admit, even as someone who is interested in history, I knew little of the woman, other than she disappeared on what was to be a record-setting flight. Continue reading ‘Amelia Doesn’t Soar to New Heights’

Spike TV’s Scream 2009: Exclusive Filming Coverage

Spike TV's Scream 2009 Saturday, October 17th, 2009…It was a night I will never forget.  The filming of Spike TV’s fourth annual Scream 2009 awards will go down as one of the most memorable nights of my life.  Not only did fate play a crucial role as an opportunity to provide red carpet coverage presented itself during my already planned vacation time in Los Angeles, but destiny intervened as the stars aligned and I suddenly found myself surrounded by all the actors who have meant so much to me over the years, for better or worse. Continue reading ‘Spike TV’s Scream 2009: Exclusive Filming Coverage’

Demon’s Souls – A Glass That’s Half Empty

Demon's Souls Playstation 3 Game ReviewGaming has changed quite a bit since its beginnings in the 1970’s with Magnavox’s Odyssey and its first steps into mainstream pop culture in the mid to late 1980’s with Nintendo’s NES.  Games have gone from tests of skill with steep learning curves such as Deadly Towers and Ghosts and Goblins to more cinematic titles such as Halo and Heavenly Sword.  Developer “From Software” has produced a title that attempts to bring these hard-boiled games of yore back into the modern spotlight with Demon’s Souls. Continue reading ‘Demon’s Souls – A Glass That’s Half Empty’

Brian Finishes Jigsaw’s Puzzle in Saw VI

Saw VIJust when you think the intensity of the plotlines could not possibly get any more convoluted, intertwined and twisted, you are proven wrong time and again.  It’s Halloween time so that must mean it’s Saw time.  I have to be honest.  I did not think I was going to make the debut outing tonight (referring to Friday), but the damp fall weather and a friend’s persistent nudges to venture out proved to be a fruitful endeavor, worthy of an entry in my Top 10 list of theatrical releases this year. Continue reading ‘Brian Finishes Jigsaw’s Puzzle in Saw VI’

Donald Judges The Law Abiding Citizen

Law Abiding CitizenGerald Butler and Jamie Foxx go head to head in a cat and mouse tale of domestic terrorism in Law Abiding Citizen.   The initial trailer that I saw for this movie had me rooting for Clyde Shelton (Gerald Butler’s character).  He’s the guy that manages to survive a home invasion that brutally ends the lives of his family.   Clyde feels that the American judicial system has revealed has failed him, so he has decided to teach the city of Philadelphia a lesson.

Does Twilight Suck That Bad?

TwilightThe question begs to be asked.  Does Twilight suck as bad as our mascot Dexter leads us to believe (see photos below)?  What is everyone’s infatuation with the Twilight movies and books?  Are they really as good as everyone makes them out to be or are we the American people so brainwashed by pop culture that we believe anything that is told to us?  I tend to put my money in the latter of the two stocks.
