Monopoly Coming to the Big Screen

Monopoly may be the next board game to become a movie, if it can beat Risk to a theater near you.  Brother Greg talked about the Risk movie and lo and behold – a couple of days later I come across this LA Times article on Ridley Scott and the Monopoly movie he has in […]

New Tremors Movie, still no Kevin Bacon

Apparently there are not enough Tremors movies, and we will get another installment shortly.  Kevin Bacon is still MIA in the newest addition to the franchise.  The name kicks ass this time around: Tremors: The Thunder down Under.  I should sue.  That’s my shout-out when I’m eating Chili on the couch. via Cinemablend.com

The other night I was cleaning up an old computer so that I could give it away. On the hard-drive was an old text file with a bunch of websites I has noted down 8 years ago. And of course, I had made sure to record the telnet address of ASCII Star Wars. Here is […]

Obviously Toronto in Film

I scan through the Torontoist blog occasionally, and this time I found one of the worst examples of a movie filmed in Toronto and pretending to be New York. If you are familiar with Toronto at all, the stills from the Short Circuit 2 are worth a look. Reel Toronto: Short Circuit 2

Plan Your Star Wars Trade Route

It seems like it was a long time ago, far away, when I loaded up my wood paneled space wagon with Amway goods and literature to go on a star-hopping sales trip. Woe was me when I didn’t have a friggin map of the galaxy. I’m all set now. Check it out: Large Version of […]

New Street Fighter Movie

This is probably old news for the multitude of Street Fighter fans out there, but in case you missed it: A new Street Fighter Movie is in the works. Yes, I am not shitting you. Apparently someone thought the first one was good enough to make a sequel. Or maybe this is a case of […]

Meet the Spartans Movie Review

Thankfully, I have not seen Meet the Spartans. And I doubt I will. Slate’s review of the movie IS a good read, and probably a lot funnier then the film itself. For a good laugh, and to save yourself the time you might have wasted at the theater, check out the review. Meet the Charlatans […]
