The Last of a Dying Breed

July 28, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Summer 2011 marks a period of solace and intrigue for fans of Home Box Office comedy programming. Those who are even relatively in tune with TV know that this season (8 if you’re counting at home) marks the finale for “Entourage”. Additionally, “Curb Your Enthusiasm”, another HBO stall wort enters its eighth and potentially final run through as well. With the clock ticking down on both of these shows, I have a few thoughts about both.

Venni Vetti Vicci…Until He Got Caught

July 19, 2011 by 1 Comment

 Ja Rule got arrested yesterday for tax evasion.  His multimillion dollar Borders Empire fell with him.  Just kidding, your boy Ja doesn’t own a national book store chain, but that is the only thing less hood than getting busted for tax evasion.

Lost at Midnight

July 6, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Creatures newcomer Kar-El is here to give you a take on a movie you probably haven’t seen and may have never even heard of, Woody Allen’s new movie film “Midnight in Paris”. And although at first glance it passed his time-tested rating system, there’s always more than meets the Tomatometer. And as you will see, it may not be worth the mental fatigue that comes along with it. Read the review after the jump.

The Best Show on TV that You Aren’t Watching

June 29, 2011 by Leave a Comment

July 17th marks the return of television’s finest hour of programming. Just 33 episodes into its existence, AMC’s Breaking Bad has left an indelible footprint in the pantheon of superb cable programming. Creator and show-runner Vince Gilligan’s masterpiece has joined an elite group that includes The Sopranos, The Wire, Deadwood, The Shield, Damages, and Mad Men. This stunning portrait of a simple man gone corrupt to protect his family is both harrowing and terrifying. Perfect TV. Although you shouldn’t need it, here are my 10 reasons to start watching Breaking Bad. Read more of this post

I Don’t Know What a ‘Ghost Protocol’ Is, but this Trailer Sure Looks Cool

June 28, 2011 by Leave a Comment

The trailer for the latest installment of the Mission Impossible franchise–entitled Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol–dropped today, and at first glance looks sick. Sure, it won’t win any Oscars, but it’ll make a killing at the box office, and no wonder. Personally, I’d pay ten bucks to go see Tom Cruise blow some shit up and check out what new dime piece they’ve added to the cast (it’s Paula Patton in case you were keeping score at home). Also, the stunt at the end, performed on the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, will certainly be a sight to see. And unless you’re in a coma, any trailer featuring an Em song should automatically get you jacked up. The J.J. Abrams-produced, Brad Bird-directed flick drops on December 16th. Check out the trailer after the jump.  Read more of this post

The Best Movie of the Year

December 26, 2007 by Leave a Comment

No_country_for_old_menSo here’s the thing. I’ve been really focused on sports recently, and how could I not be. So I haven’t really had time to discuss the slew of movies that I’ve seen over the past two weeks or so. So this is a belated post to say the least. And don’t think I’m jumping on any critical bandwagons right here, this is what I’ve thought since seeing No Country back a couple weeks now.

Tom Brady’s Kid is a JET

September 1, 2007 by Leave a Comment

Tom_bradyThat’s right all you Bostonites, you’re boy, the Yankees hat wearing star of your football team, just had a kid as you’re well aware. What you may not know, is that Tom and Bridget Moynahan named their son John Edward Thomas Brady. Care to spell out those first three initials for me? No? Well I’ll do it for you: J E T, JET JET JET!

Tony Parker the Rapper?

March 28, 2007 by 1 Comment

This next idea was sent to me by my cousin’s girlfriend, Olisa, so props to her for finding this piece of material.

Apparently San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker has found another job off the court…as a rap star. A French rap star at that. I watched this YouTube clip over and over trying to find something decent about it. I just couldn’t. The one plus is having Tony’s girlfriend Eva Longoria show up in the music video for all of 10 seconds. Oh yeah, and in the begining of the video a little kid screams Tony’s name which is kind of funny. Otherwise though, the beat sucks, no one knows what the hell he’s saying and he uses a combo I refer to as Frenglish (French and English in the same song). Not to mention he uses a Ked Fed lookalike right in the 1 minute range. Honestly this is worse then when Shaq did Kazaam. Ball players please, for everyone’s sake, stick to your day/night jobs. Check out the clip here.
