Latino Review got the scoop a few days ago that the big bad in Battleship won't be Nazis, reverse vampires, or ominous looking pegs. Instead, it's aliens. With this news I'm getting the sinking feeling that we're not...
By Franklin Potter For a long time we have used the video store as one of our main ways to access movies. High speed internet access has now made it possible to download movies right off a movie download site. Below is a sample of some of the movies you can find using movie download sites.

I can't get my head around this fight on Saturday. I've become very intrigued by it. I've searched high and low for a reason to justify the price offered up by the bookies for Haye but simply cannot find it. Perhaps it's so obvious I can't see it? While Haye's trash talking is becoming mildly irritating by now, one has to respect the courage of the man to get in the ring with something that was chasing...
Yesterday’s board games are going wide-screen. The first move belongs to Sony Pictures Entertainment, which on Wednesday landed film rights to the geopolitical favorite Risk from Hasbro. Up next, according to Variety? Ouija, Battleship and Candyland. (That last one is sure to tick off the not-powerful dentist lobby.) The move left us scratching our heads. How [...]

The Village Voice : As harsh as 2009 has been for celebrity deaths, it’s been an even harsher year for Internet-based fake celebrity deaths. As of June, the real-to-fake death ratio has approached one-to-two: Michael Jackson’s demise not only clogged the Internet for a day, but also sucked down Harrison Ford (missing and believed drowned) and Jeff Goldblum (plummeted off the very same...
With director Roland Emmerich’s “2012” just around the corner, I am already banging my head at some of the insane visual effects seen in the trailer.

Got home about 24 hours ago from the 3rd Annual Exhumed Films 24-Hour Marathon and I think I'm returning to "normal". This was my third year in attendance and I have to say that while this year's rundown came awfully close to besting the first outing, it fell short ever so slightly . Seriously, how do you beat GODZILLA VS THE COSMIC MONSTER, DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK, PHANTASM, HELLRAISER,...

Now I can tell you this: one of their characters will die. “CI” just finished filming an episode in which one of the three is murdered. That’s the exit show for the other two as well. I am told by “CI”...
There is a major upheaval going on right now. The USA network has fired two of it’s biggest stars on Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Vincent D’Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe (Goren and Eames) have been handed their walking papers. After you see them in the 2-part season 9 premiere, they will be gone. I can’t believe [...]

Today, an iMac is set up using just one power cable, depending...
