Take a look at the picture to your left.  Do you know who that is?  Yes, it’s Christian Bale, the actor who saved the Batman franchise.  In the movie The Machinist, Christian Bale plays an extremely gaunt individual who has not slept in over a year. 

In the beginning of The Machinist, we do not know why he has not slept in over a year; in the end, we do. 

The question then is this:  Is it worth the time finding out?  Continue Reading »

Sometimes you should listen to your movie store guy.  I know…many of you go to blockbuster and your movie store guy is a tweaked out teenager who would rather be skateboarding.  Others of you never see your movie store guy because he is now a computer screen that reads Netflix. Continue Reading »

All television shows make you some sort of promise.  With the first season of Californication, Showtime promised us a show about a struggling writer who beds many women and generally leads an intemperate life all in an effort to escape his true heart, which is with Karen, the mother of his daughter.

As I wrote in Californication: Showtime’s Raison d’etre, this was one hell of a first season, and the only reason that you need to get a subscription to Showtime. Continue Reading »

Good Friday morning! 

I awoke this morning with a rhythm that I could not get out of my head.  So, whatever you may be doing right now, get out of your chair, and join me as we…

Do the Jane Fonda

Mickey Avalon - Jane Fonda
Video Codes at Roxwel

It’s a catchy tune…is it not?  But my boy Mickey Avalon is a tad bit creepy and looks like some peculiar hybrid of Howard Stern, Adam Ant, and Cher.  Check out more of images of Mickey Avalon…

Instead, if you want a funky, fun, couple version of the song.  Here you go… Continue Reading »

I try to edify myself in every possible way.  Today’s efforts include watching “30 Celebrity Feuds” on E. 

The Feud I just watched involved the Tom Cruise “Trapped In The Closet” episode of South Park (watch below).  The episode pokes fun at Scientology, Scientologists, and Tom Cruise’s gaiety.  Continue Reading »

As a somewhat decent uncle, I offered to take my 9 and 10 year old niece and nephew to see a movie.  They chose Star Wars:  The Clone Wars.

I am not a Star Wars addict, have not seen any of the new ones, but I remember thoroughly enjoying Star Wars in my youth:  Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.  I probably saw each more than once. Continue Reading »

I ask “How did Ricky Martin have twin babies?” not because I am unaware how the process works but because I was unaware that Ricky Martin enjoyed the process. Continue Reading »

A video clip has been released of the new movie Tropic Thunder where we find Tom Cruise fat, bald, and dancing.  I did not even know which character he was at first, but listen for the voices.  The voice of Tom Cruise is very distinct.  Enjoy the preview: Continue Reading »

 If you think HBO is the sole proprietor for outstanding, unique, irreverent, edgy material, you haven’t tuned into Californication on Showtime. 

David Duchovny plays Hank Moody, a once-inspired writer who currently can’t find his voice.  His life, in shambles after the separation from the mother of his only child who he is still madly in love with, is an enjoyably tragic ride of too much and too many:  too many women and too much booze.  Continue Reading »

My good friend just sent me an email regarding the Paul McCartney-Heather Mills Divorce.

The title of the email was “Rent or Own”.  It’s too good not to be shared!

The math on the Paul  McCartney-Heather Mills divorce is as follows:

After  5 years of marriage, he paid her $49 million. Assuming he got sex every  night during their 5 year relationship (which would NOT have happened!) it  ended up costing him $26,849 per time.  Continue Reading »
