Buy Or Don’t Buy

You know how Natalie Portman is the face of the ultimate indie-mainstream cross over. She’s cute, smart, vegetarian and a “serious actress”? Well, over the years I’ve liked her less and less. I can’t remember the last movie where it was her role that really made me like the movie. Can you?
But regardless of my [...]

With every new release, whether it be stills, leaked video, trailers, posters and just general information, I fall more and more in love with this Spike Jonze project.
So it’s no surprise that when a new trailer came out this morning, it only sealed the deal that this film would fall under the category of a [...]

You know how the media finds one quote and blows it out of proportion? Well, that’s what I am going to do here.
Stephen Moyer who plays the lame, “responsible” vampire on HBO’s True Blood had this to say about Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight vampire star Robert Patterson:
He’s a pussy! He’s the Slim-Fast, Diet Coke of vampires.
Awesome! [...]

Back in November, this chart from the sci-fi blog io9 caused a stir in economics- and zombie-loving circles. It purported to show an uptick in the number of zombie movies produced in times of economic or social unrest. As the creators said:
Still, even correcting for the fact that there are more movies being made today, [...]

Remember this?

Like many fanboys, I saw Watchmen last night. (SPOILER WARNING: I liked it.) I’ve read and understand a lot of the criticisms or it, but I pretty much expected the omnipresent slo-mo, and I actually enjoyed Zach Snyder’s musical shorthand (”The Times They Are A-Changing,” “Hello Darkness My Old Friend” and “Hallelujah” ) as a [...]

Okay, I’ve become obsessed. Twilight is a horrible book that is bad for womens’ rights and written by a Mormon that I haven’t read. The movie, which my friends and fans of the book aren’t down with and that teeny boppers are all about, has become one of my latest gossip-craving obsessions.
The first movie was [...]

So news of a book which adds zombies to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice has been floating around the Internet. It’s too late to write a post on that, but trust me, it looks pretty awesome. That book itself is a mash-up, 85% original text, 15% zombies. But now, the book has not been released [...]

Critics pounded on the movie and parents did too. The Golden Compass was meant to launch a string of new book-to-movie fantasy flicks in the same vain as Potter and Narnia but the end result was just plain stinky. Why, though?
After watching the Golden Compass, the most memorable things are bloody bear brawl and a [...]

Remember when books were about reading? Remember when a new book came out, you were either told about it from a friend, or saw it in the local book store? Or read about it?  Well it turns out, reading about things you read is so web 1.0.
Last May, I read an article about a book trailer. [...]
