Okay, so one day after work, and having no choice but to walk home, (I hate walking home from work, when you walk all day at work, maybe then you'll understand this resentment) I thought, Hey, best buys on the way, why not go buy inFamous as my way to spite the fates for forcing me to walk home that day. :P Anyways, I enjoyed this game. I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as MGS4, but certainly more then Assassins Creed or GTA4 (Though, I really really enjoyed one of the first clubs you visit in that game, and no, not empis' hang out the strip club, the other one, with the magician.) The main thing to remember here, is that if you enjoy this type of genre, action/a…

Alright, the title says it all. I will name two movies and include a link to their info on IMDB. Your job is to cast them with whom you think would have made a better job of it, or whom you can see in that role. Please be sure to link to their imdb profile, or at least a picture of your choices so that everyone can know whom you are talking about. If there are certain people you wouldn't recast, explain your reasons why. The first two movies are: The Da Vinci Code: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0382625/ Transformers: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0418279/

Heard that this one was good, but also sad. Apparently a friend cried 3 times during the movie! Will probably be watching it later this week. Any thoughts?

Best trailer of the year so far...

Forbes has put out their yearly 100 most powerful celebrities. http://www.forbes.com/2009/06/03/forbes-100-celebrity-09-jolie-oprah-madonna_land.html What do you think? Anyone to totally disagree with??

L4D 2 has been announced as I'm sure you all know! What are your opinions of the trailer and the game play vid? personally I can't wait to chainsaw my first zombie and the incendiary bullets seem amazing! I've also read that during the day time, Witches are going to be up and moving around. So you might accidentally have a witch come across you this time round! I think it's a bit soon for a sequel, I mean i just bought L4D 1 day before L4D2 was announced XD but i cant wait^^

New movie discussion. I mean overall soundtrack. I'm going to have to think on this one. So many movie soundtracks that I <3

Now that I'm back ... new topic! What movie was so funny you were laughing so hard that milk came out of your nose, or whatever. Hmm, idk about this one. I'll get back to you.

The final three episodes air Saturdays at 10pm from May 30 (last night) to June 13, and are available next day on abc.com. The final episodes of Eli Stone will air at the same time in the next few weeks after Pushing Daisies, and Dirty Sexy Money finishes up the weeks after that.

Everyone has one I'm sure. Me, it was the Futurama episode with Fry's dog. I did NOT see that one coming.

Angels & Demons 3 Stars, Metascore from metacritic.com: 49 Generally favorable reviews out of 100. Hanks, Howard Exorcize Some Demons With 'Angels'-- James Rocchi Following up 2006's "The Da Vinci Code," "Angels & Demons" continues the adventures of globe-trotting symbologist Dr. Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks). The no-nonsense academic gets brought into the thick of ticking-clock intrigue as a centuries-old secret society, the Illuminati, strikes out at the Catholic Church as the church's leadership gathers to name a new Pope. The most surprising thing about "Angels & Demons" is that director Ron Howard seems to have listened to the criticisms of "The …

A snoozy, slow-moving and thoroughly unconvincing Fox hourlong from writer-producers Deborah Joy LeVine & Dan Levine (“Lois & Clark,” “The Division”), “Mental” follows Dr. Jack Gallagher, the maverick new British director of psychiatric services at a Los Angeles hospital. It co-stars a beefier-than-remembered (but still plenty hot) Annabella Sciorra (Gloria Trillo from the later “Sopranos” episodes) and Jacqueline McKenzie (the Homeland Security agent with the Canadian accent from “The 4400”). An international co-production in the tradition of NBC’s “Crusoe” and “The Last Templar,” it was apparently shot on the cheap in the South American city of Bogota! …

Yes. :P * “NCIS” and “NCIS: Los Angeles” will air back-to-back on Tuesdays. * CBS has picked up NBC cast-off “Medium” and will pair it with fellow psychic drama “Ghost Whisperer” Friday nights. * David Mamet-created “The Unit” is not a closer, and has been sliced off the schedule after four years. Long-running “Without A Trace” has vanished. Gone after one season each are “Eleventh Hour” and “Worst Week.” * CBS’s top-rated freshman hit “The Mentalist” will be paired with CBS’ top-rated veteran “CSI” on Thursdays, where it will take on ABC’s “Private Practice.” CBS TELEVISON NETWORK 2009-2010 PRIMETIME SCHEDULE (N=New, NT=New Time, a…

I saw this today, it was 'okay' it wasn't 'omfg awesome', but it wasn't so horrible I wanted to walk out. (empy probably would though, I think critics are saying wolverine > terminator :P) On a ratings scale, I'd probably give it a 6/10. Not a 7, but not a 5. Basically a rental. Heres a few comments. 1) The movies 'suspense' is utterlly ruined by even watching the trailers. It suffers a common condition where trailers/teasers reveal TO MUCH about the movie. 1a) If you haven't seen ANY trailers for this movie, watch it and tell us what you think, PLEASE! 2) The dialogue does kinda suck, ultra generic, and horribly predictable. The actors weren't Bad thou…

Reviews:

* It looks like thirtysomething Tom Welling will finally get to stop playing Superboy, as “Smallville” has been cast off to Friday nights to die. * "Melrose Place" will follow "90210," just as it did on Fox in the early 1990s. * “Privileged,” the only show on the CW I was still watching, is cancelled. * "Reaper," as expected, is gone as well. * Josh Schwartz’ “Gossip Girl” spin-off, following Serena Van Der Woodsen’s mother and aunt as groupie-ish twentysomethings in 1980s Los Angeles, is not going to series. * “Vampire Diaries,” from “Dawson’s Creek” mastermind Kevin Williamson, takes on "Flash Forward," "Survivor," "SNL Thursday" and "Bones" on…

WTF!!! I guess Brian Green's contract must have run out. I just saw the second to last episode(4/3/09). The death was so sudden, with so little fanfare that I thought perhaps it was a dream sequence or something. Anyone else think this was a little odd?

Trailer I love this mini series from back in the day. I know the first few minutes look like Independence Day but this is how it happened in the old series.

At the age of 62, he was the mickey mouse voice for the last 32 years. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8060619.stm

I'm really disappointed by this review--though I'm hoping that I will still be pleasantly surprised when I see it for myself. It does have some spoilers though--so read at your own risk.

Okay. I don't watch Scary movies. I hate them and they give me nightmares - let the subsequent jokes begin. Anyways, seeing that I've never really watched any scary movies, except like the Ring - and I started laughing hysterically at some point for some odd reason, I obviously have nothing but girly screams and frantic TV shutting off to contribute to this discussion. So, yeah scariest movie you've seen. Maybe I'll even watch it - if I can use someone to torment with my arm-grabbing and epic screaming!

Notes: * “Flash Forward,” the new sci-fi series from Brannon Braga and David Goyer,” will take on “Survivor,” “Smallville,” and “SNL Thursdays.” * “Ugly Betty” can been consigned to the broadcast gulag of Friday night. * Dead shows include “Samantha Who?” “The Unusuals,” and “Cupid.” * “Scrubs” and “Better Off Ted” are being held till midseason. * "True Beauty" is somehow coming back, even though the world MONDAY: 8:00 p.m. "Dancing with the Stars" (two-hours) 10:00 p.m. "Castle" TUESDAY: 8:00 p.m. "Shark Tank" 9:00 p.m. "Dancing with the Stars the Results Show" 10:00 p.m. "The Forgotten" WEDNESDAY: 8:00 p.m. "Han…

This is a thread that we can start each week with the newest released trailers. I will start us off with this week. Beyond a Reasonable Doubt In theaters: September 11, 2009 Anchor Bay Films High profile lawyer, Martin Hunter (Michael Douglas) has an impeccable record putting criminals behind bars and is a shoo-in for governor in the upcoming election. But when ambitious rookie journalist, C.J. Nicholas (Jesse Metcalfe) begins investigating Hunter for tampering with evidence to secure his convictions, the district attorney’s perfect record is up for scrutiny. Commencing a risky game of cat and mouse with Hunter, C.J. frames himself as a murder suspect to …

The Soloist 3 Stars, Metascore from metacritic.com 61 Generally favorable reviews out of 100. Foxx, Downey Create Harmony in 'Soloist' --James Rocchi "The Soloist," based on the real-world memoir and journalism of Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez, tells the story of Nathaniel Ayers (Jamie Foxx), a homeless man Lopez (Robert Downey Jr.) finds on the streets of downtown Los Angeles making beautiful music with a beaten-up, two-stringed violin. Ayers, who once attended Juilliard but now sleeps in the streets, apologizes to Lopez when they first meet: "You'll have to pardon my appearance; I've had a few setbacks." Lopez (who we saw tumble off his bike in the…

The Brothers Bloom 4 Stars, Metascore from metacritic.com: 55 Generally favorable reviews out of 100. 'Bloom' a Beautiful Con --James Rocchi Rian Johnson's debut, "Brick," had a slick, stylish hook, setting a classic film noir plot in the halls of high school. His follow-up, "The Brothers Bloom," can't be summed up quite so simply, with brother con artists Mark Ruffalo and Adrien Brody pulling the time-honored "one last job" to fleece Rachel Weisz's solitary, singular heiress. "The Brothers Bloom" is clever, to be sure -- you can decode everything from the opening scene to individual lines to the title of the film itself once you've seen how it unfolds, and it…

Or the Raeyn look alike. I am glad to see JT win.
