Hello! It’s been forever since I posted, but here we are. If this were a regular blog, I’d attempt to ply you with stories and grievances that explain my absence. I would regale you with my adventures with frost giants, Wills-o’th’wisp, and other good people. What does it matter, though? Let’s get to the meat of it!
Let’s look at a movie I recently watched for the first time. It seems like everyone else I know has already seen Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon, but it was new to me. Here, you’ll get the pristine reactions of my first viewing, fresh as the plastic film in one of Garret’s unboxing videos. Read more…
We only have two new films out this week at our local theaters. The polls are now open (and will close on Saturday at 5pm). Choose wisely, young grasshoppers.
Directed by Kevin Smith (‘Zack and Miri Make a Porno’), ‘Cop Out’ features two longtime NYPD partners on the trail of a stolen, rare, mint-condition baseball card who find themselves up against a merciless, memorabilia-obsessed gangster. Jimmy (Bruce Willis) is the veteran detective whose missing collectible is his only hope to pay for his daughter’s upcoming wedding, and Paul (Tracy Morgan) is his “partner-against-crime” whose preoccupation with his wife’s alleged infidelity makes it hard for him to keep his eye on the ball.
Imagine living in a small town where everything is safe and happy…until suddenly it isn’t. Imagine your friends and neighbors going quickly and horrifically insane. In a terrifying tale of the “American Dream” gone horribly wrong, four friends find themselves trapped in their hometown in ‘The Crazies,’ a reinvention of the George Romero classic directed by Breck Eisner from a screenplay by Ray Wright (‘Pulse,’ ‘Case 39′) and Scott Kosar (‘The Amityville Horror,’ ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’).
David Dutten (Timothy Olyphant) is sheriff of Ogden Marsh, a picture-perfect American town with happy, law-abiding citizens. But one night, one of them comes to a school baseball game with a loaded shotgun, ready to kill. Another man burns down his own house…after locking his wife and young son in a closet inside. Within days, the town has transformed into a sickening asylum; people who days ago lived quiet, unremarkable lives have now become depraved, blood-thirsty killers, hiding in the darkness with guns and knives. Sheriff Dutten tries to make sense of what’s happening as the horrific, nonsensical violence escalates. Something is infecting the citizens of Ogden Marsh…with insanity.
Now complete anarchy reigns as one by one the townsfolk succumb to an unknown toxin and turn sadistically violent. In an effort to keep the madness contained, the government uses deadly force to close off all access and won’t let anyone in or out — even those uninfected. The few still sane find themselves trapped: Sheriff Dutten; his pregnant wife, Judy (Radha Mitchell); Becca (Danielle Panabaker), an assistant at the medical center; and Russell (Joe Anderson), Dutten’s deputy and right-hand man. Forced to band together, an ordinary night becomes a horrifying struggle for survival as they do their best to get out of town alive.

As everyone as already guessed, the show is late. Turns out that when the internet doesn’t want to work right, or is having tube problems, uploading a 200mb file becomes a pain. For whatever reason, the last couple of days has been slow going in the upload department. As of this morning, the show was uploading at 13.3kb/s, which would estimate at 5 hours to complete. Hopefully that will be finished by this afternoon. We apologize for the delay.
As mentioned in Episode 89, we’ve started a new segment to the show where Joe and I see one new feature film at the theater. But there are so many films to see! Whatever shall we do?
The answer, of course, is to elicit help from you, the viewing audience. Every week after the show it put up, we will list the following week’s new films. On the side of the page you will be able to vote on which you’d prefer to see reviewed. It’s that simple. Let’s get started.
This week we have quite a few choices. In the event that a specific film is released but not available to view in our area, we will choose the next highest voted on film. Here is this week’s list:

I had forgotten for a while that this page even existed because Google Buzz came out two days ago. Anyhow, on with the ancient Japanese poetry!
God damnit, Google.
You’ve made everything so good
and easy, like your mom.At first Google wave,
Now Google Buzz is in town.
Next? Google Engulf.Don’t get me wrong here.
I like Buzz. But we’re skirting
the edge of safety.Soon my Google car
will drive me to Googlemart
for a Googlewich.But no, fo’ realz ya’ll,
Check me out on the Googles.
I’m witty as hell.
Awww suki suki now; just last week we were treated with another teaser trailer at the superbowl, but now we have a full fletched theatrical trailer on our hands of The Last Airbender!
We finally have some audio on a couple of characters speaking, as well as a closer look at how Aang’s tattoos are depicted (hint: they’re badass). Trailer after the break.
I might have lied the other day when I said I’d had the last word on the nook. There’s no last word, people; none. This weekend Barnes & Noble pushed out an update for our little book reader: software version 1.2.
Gizmodo has the full scoop on what was updated, but here are is the nitty gritty on what has changed:
