Recently, an interview was posted on Wired.com that I did with actress Radha Mitchell. She’s currently starring in the movie Surrogates, alongside Bruce Willis, and next year will be in the remake of George Romero’s cult film The Crazies. She talked about starring in sci-fi and horror ranging from the film adaptation of Silent Hill, [...]
Larry King said it best – “Former President Jimmy Carter stirred up a hornet’s nest with his remarks about race yesterday.” Indeed he did, because (surprise!) that’s exactly what happens when you actually talk about race in this country. White people, black people, liberals, and conservatives freak out. Michael Steele, a republican who’s black, spoke [...]
When I went to bed after eating three or four Krispy Kremes (always a mistake), I found myself tossing and turning throughout the night. At first, I got a little nervous. My roommate and her family invited some sort of psychic/witchdoctor into their circle in order to address various personal issues… Apparently, my roommate’s twin [...]
I’ve been thinking a lot about people trying to rationalize the times, the recession, and my own current economic plight, as well as their own. Typically, conversations cite instances of hardship breeding new forms of art — whether it be literature, painting, etc. It’s argued that these days will pave the way for radical contributions [...]
Last night was the not-so-relevant-anymore MTV Video Music Awards. At least this year, they tried. Everyone knows MTV isn’t what it used to be. While the breakthrough channel helped kill the radio star, it’s becoming clearer and clearer that sites like Pitchfork started stabbing MTV in the face long ago. Likewise, the channel contributed to [...]
I woke up this morning and avoided watching the news or reading the (online) paper. I knew what today was and, to be quite frank, didn’t want to deal with the media coverage of September 11, 2009 – eight years after the day we know we will never forget. The problem with unemployment and my [...]
Last night, I had a “this is my life” moment. One of my roommates and I decided for some reason that we had to see the fourth death-is-inescapable fiesta, The Final Destination. Not to be confused with the first in the series, Final Destination, starring disappearing act Devon Sawa and that chick who finally got [...]
I’m totally ashamed to admit this, but one of my favorite movies to watch over and over and over again is Something New, starring Sanaa Lathan and Simon Baker. You see, I’m the kind of guy who typically likes horror movies. Intense ones. I love films with severe decapitations of Dario Argento proportions. Lucio Fulci’s [...]
I’m just a small town girl who moved to the big city with big dreams… just to find out, the only way to make it in the big city… is to shake it. And that’s what I do — at the Coyote Ugly. And… scene! With today’s excess time, I found myself rediscovering a kinship [...]
