Superbad is a funny teen comedy with realistic situations and a holy grail of special features.
With multiple storylines, a funky theme song, and animated credits, Superbad would have made a good TV show. Imagine Freaks and Geeks with South Park crudeness. Writers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg have given their alter-egos complicated personalities that could provide material for several stories. Every week, I could see them navigating the…

Rob Dyrdek and Christopher “Big Black” Boykin are doin’ work in the Hollywood Hills.
I have to admit that when I watched the first few minutes of Rob & Big when it debuted on MTV in 2006, I thought, what the heck is this? Watching a 30-something professional skater named Rob Dyrdek and his 400-pound bodyguard, Christopher “Big Black” Boykin, didn’t seem like it would hold much interest for a 30-something…

Will it be heaven, hell, or back to his normal existence?
As I previewed yesterday, the Cuban cigar that Ernesto sneaked into Luke's hospital room sent him into cardiac arrest. Not too bright a move from someone who's had two open heart surgeries, including a quadruple bypass. In his previous near death experiences Luke has seen heaven and hell, so what was left but for him to face his final…

When you’ve got 12 hours of “adventures” and over 13 hours of historical documentaries, which one is the “mother” and which one the “son”?
Written by Musgo Del Jefe It's hard to know how to classify the latest release in the Indiana Jones universe. The Adventures Of Young Indiana Jones, Volume Two – The War Years is a mouthful to say and even harder to label. When you've got 12 hours of "adventures" and over 13 hours of historical documentaries, which one is the…

Superbad is a top-notch, laugh-a-minute raunch-fest.
Superbad is the coolest raunch-com. Even up against the top players in the genre like American Pie, The 40-Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, and Wedding Crashers, Superbad (arguably) takes the cake. With its simple yet stimulating plot and hilariously accurate dialogue, Superbad is one of the most quotable, top-notch, laugh-a-minute raunch-fests. As…

Paul Thomas Anderson ascends to another level as a filmmaker with There Will Be Blood.

Oswald?s action has repercussions that reverberate today.
Written by Fumo VerdeJFK was assassinated over forty years ago and still the conspiracy stirs like a watered-down vodka tonic. In late November of 1963 the question on everybody’s lips was “How could someone as inconsequential as Oswald kill someone as consequential as John F. Kennedy?” This DVD doesn’t answer that question…

This series analyzes the world?s major civilizations and recognizes the significant engineering achievements that led to each empire?s rise and legacy.
The beauty of The History Channel is its ability to simplify many complex details of historical events and select the most important facts to form concise summaries. In relatively short running times, the channel’s programs provide surprisingly comprehensive and accessible historical examinations.Hosted by Peter Weller and narrated by Michael…

Fun, but nowhere nearly what it could have been.
Back in 2004 the first movie to combine Alien and Predator was unleashed upon the masses. When that project was first announced it had fans of both series (including me) excited. Unfortunately the R-rated universe was cut to PG-13, and the possibility of an epic struggle between two classic cinematic monsters was reduced to the equivalent of a…
