THIS WEEK: Mar 6 – Mar 12, 2011 GAME CHANGE: Actress and comedian Tina Fey portrayed her once; so too did adult film star Lisa Ann. And now you can add actress Julianne Moore’s name to the list. That’s right, American politician and commentator Sarah Palin will be portrayed once again, only this time it … Continue reading
When my wife and I moved in together, we decided not to buy a TV—we figured we could do without, what with most of our favourite shows available online. It’s been more than a year now, and I really don’t miss the old boob tube. Well, that’s not entirely true—I do miss the commercials. Don’t … Continue reading
THIS WEEK: Feb 27 – Mar 5, 2011 CHARLIE SHEEN: Actor Charlie Sheen has officially flipped his lid. By now you’ve likely heard about it and formed an opinion landing on one side of the fence or the other. Is his very public ride into madness a) hilarious (keep it up ol’ buddy) or b) … Continue reading
Sunday night’s Academy Awards show was the pits. Co-hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway did all they could with the material they were given…well, Hathaway did; Franco seemed a little disinterested (or, rather, high). There were no surprises as far as who took home an award, though Melissa Leo’s acceptance speech raised a few eyebrows. … Continue reading
THIS WEEK: Feb 20 – 26, 2011 CHICKEN CHANNEL: Don’t get me wrong—I do love chicken. If I can have any meat between two slices of rye, it will always be chicken. Best way to improve a salad?

THIS WEEK: Feb 13 – Feb 19, 2011 DEAD ISLAND: If you read my Jan. 24th opinion piece, then you know that I love movie trailers, especially when they’re done well. Of course, trailers aren’t made only for upcoming films, but for video games as well. Mind you, I’m rarely impressed by the promo work … Continue reading
THIS WEEK: Feb 6 – Feb 12, 2011 IMMACULATE MACHINE: No one will ever mistake me for an indie hipster. While many of the musicians I listen to are, technically, on independent labels, they aren’t truly “Indie”—or so I’m told. Now and again, though, I’ll stumble across a “true” indie band whose music sparks my … Continue reading
THIS WEEK: Jan 30 – Feb 5, 2011 SPIDERMAN: A few weeks ago, we got our first look at the new Spidey costume from Marc Webb’s Spiderman reboot—the image was dark, and Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) wasn’t wearing his mask. But now comes photos of Spiderman in action…well, sort of. At least he’s actually wearing … Continue reading
