Redditor subtonix made a map of what movies best represent each of the 50 states. Personally, I would have gone with Sleepless in Seattle for Washington, and Grumpy Old Men for Minnesota, but I agree with most of the choices. I especially love Clerks for New Jersey, and Red Dawn for Colorado (Wolverines!). Do you think your state was […]
Guest Post: The Dangers of Singling out the Senses
Today we have another fantastic post by Nick. Here he talks about a topic I briefly spoke of in the past: new technology at the movies. While I am a self-proclaimed geek, I remain a traditionalist when it comes to certain topics (ie, opting for books over e-readers) and the moviegoing experience is one that […]
Guest Post: Comic-Con — The Real Deal
New York may have its own Comic-Con (which unfortunately coincided with a new baby this year), but nothing can compare to the original and the best: San Diego Comic-Con. J and I always said that we will make a trip out to the West Coast one year to partake in its magnificence, but now that we […]

Body Counts for the Cast of ‘The Expendables’
Last weekend J and I made a trek to the theaters to watch The Expendables. I had been dying to watch the movie ever since I saw its trailer earlier this year. To me, the plot didn’t seem that great but the all-star action cast was intriguing. I figured that all these stars wouldn’t be in […]
Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan [Must Watch]

Inception: And I Was All Like…
I’m having an off morning. For one, I could have sworn that today is Friday, not Thursday (don’t you hate it when that happens?). And just now I caught myself walking into the wrong room for the third time since waking up…and it’s currently only 9:25am. I hope everyone is more clear-headed than me this […]
The Many (Or Just One) Faces of Michael Cera
Michael Cera may be one of the most typecast actors in Hollywood, but I have loved him since he was an awkward kid on Arrested Development and I continue to be a huge fan. Via The Daily What. P.S. — Is anyone else excited about the progress they’re making on the Arrested Development movie? You […]
