Trust Me. I Know What I’m Doing.
Sledge Hammer! will be out on DVD on July 27th, and the second season is already being planned. If you haven’t seen Sledge Hammer!, you missed out on one of the great satirical shows of the 1980s. There are episodes that send up Witness, Max Headroom, Road Warrior and Robocop (when Sledge is transformed into…

Chronicles of Riddick review by Last
Jonathan Last, fast becoming my favorite movie reviewer, calls the Chronicles of Riddick Riddick-ulous and “the most expensive B-movie ever made.”

Now this is a kick-hinder trailer!
And hopefully this will be an awesome movie, too: Cellular. A kidnapped woman (Kim Basinger) wires a busted phone together and manages to make one call at random. The man on the cellular phone at the other end cannot hang up. Intense. This seems like the kind of film Hitchcock would make if he was…

I’ll be away today
After Reagan’s funeral, I’m going to treat myself to a movie. My wife and I have agreed that I have had a really sucky week and I need to get my mind off things. On top of Reagan’s death and a similar, career-altering comic story, we also had a solid day of rain on Wednesday…

Even the hot sexy ones are too old
I swear, LA executives have no clue what we out in the real world consider attractive. I’ve realized this over the years, as Sandra Bullock said that they weren’t going to cast her for the movie Speed because they wanted someone sexy, and Gillian Anderson almost didn’t get the part of Dana Sculley because the…

Anyone want to see a screening of Chronicles of Riddick?
As part of a promotion where they’re also showing off their in-dash DVD system, Pioneer is giving out tickets to an exclusive June 10th screening of Chronicles of Riddick. It’s only in select big cities (none in Minnesota, unfortunately, or I’d have an exclusive review for the site!) and you have to be able to…

Buffy?
Buffy the Vampire Slayer‘s appeal is lost on me (not to be confused with Sarah Michelle Gellar’s – ROWR!). But somehow TV Guide considers it one of the biggest cult shows ever (way above Babylon 5, which is just WRONG). However, I’m sure many in our audience liked the show. And I’m not even a…
