‘Doctor Who’ Breaks Record, Explains Its Brilliance With Nonsensical Babel
Grab your celebratory fish fingers, for fantastic news strides along for the Doctor and his companions! After weeks of crunching numbers and taking names while doing so, it was finally confirmed that the first episode of season 6 titled The Impossible Astronaut was the most recorded British television show in history! We’re talking a mere 4.1 million viewers– a truly deserved number! What could this possibly mean for fans of the series? More fantastic episodes– duh doy! The next episode, Rebel Flesh, starts tomorrow eve! But I’m sure you already knew that.
Is A Good Article Worth $1.99?
“The Final Hours of Portal 2” seems like a celebratory experiment in an era where print magazines are failing and their tablet-friendly versions are doing even worse. Like music a decade ago, people are finding that discrete tomes of editorialized content are worth less than ever before. So what makes this glorified cover article so different?
The Lord of The Rings “Extended Editions” to Premiere June 14th
Can you believe it’s been almost a decade since The Fellowship of the Ring was released in theaters? The world has changed quite a bit since then but one thing remains: my everlasting love of the series. If you haven’t been to the movie theater lately, it gives me great joy to announce that Fathom Events will be showing the extended editions of the trilogy starting June 14th! Look for more information after the break!
Movie Review: The Frighteners (At Request!)
This review is at the special request of my good friend Juan, so if you have some special requests for movie/game/tech reviews, you let us know!
I didn’t get to see The Frighteners growing up. I was twelve when it released and it was an R-rated film, so that was an automatic ‘no way’ from the ‘rents. That’s all beside the point though, I didn’t even know the film existed until a few years later. As a result, I had absolutely no squishy, nostalgic feelings for it when I saw it for the first time just recently. The Frighteners is sorta like that intersecting section of a Venn diagram: it came at the end of our fascination with ghosts-and-haunted-houses (from Ghostbusters to Casper the year before) and was one of Peter Jackson’s early films, long before he was famous for The Lord of The Rings. The problem with this film is simple: I hate ghost-and-haunted-house films.
Movie Review: The Informant!
The quirkiest part of this film is its title. That exclamation mark at the end? Tough sell, considering this film’s near-glacial pace at points. Second quirkiest part of this film? The titular Mark Whitacre (played by Matt Damon) who really just wants to help the FBI uncover his company’s price-fixing schemes. Well, sorta.
Movie Review: Enter The Void
One doesn’t watch Enter The Void, one experiences Enter The Void. From the incredible camerawork to the special effects or the jarring opening credits, everything melts together into one trippy mold. Casper and his sister Linda are denizens of Tokyo’s seedy underbelly. He’s a drug dealer who wanted enough money to bring her across the ocean, she’s a stripper trying to find an identity for herself. He falls into bad business and gets killed in a disgusting bathroom trying to lose his drugs. That’s only the first half hour.
The Hobbit – Production Back In Full Swing. Also, Cast Details And 20 Questions!
Well, as many already know, the filming of Sir Peter Jackson’s next foray in to Middle Earth was delayed by health issues at the beginning of 2011 and then, again, by the earthquake in New Zealand back in February of this year. We also know, at this time, that production has resumed and details are coming to light regarding the cast of the upcoming film.

Movies Worth A 10 Out Of 10
Let’s talk about perfection for a moment. For one thing, it’s not possible. It just can’t happen. When it comes to reviews, it’s harder to justify a ‘perfect’ score when you have a granular, percentage-based scale than if you used a ten-point or five point scale. That said, while I’ve never given out a 10 review during my time here, these films easily deserve them. They are that close to perfection.
The Paintball Guns of Community
If you watch Community, you better be, then you may remember last year’s ‘Modern Warfare’ paintball episode. They stepped it up with a new challenge in ‘A Fistful of Paintballs’ with some new guns. I asked myself what kind of paintball guns do they use on Community? So, I did some research and put everything together for you because you’re reading this and that makes me happy!
