The 67th Annual Golden Globes: Moments That Won & Failed

We could tell, just by host Ricky Gervais' opening monologue, that the 67th Golden Globes were going to be totally ACE this year. For the most part, we were right. We laughed. We gaped in shock. We threw stuff at the TV (sad, but true). We nodded off a couple of times.

Here's our recap of the best and worst moments of last night's ...

And the Saints Go Marching In

Well, last night's Super Bowl was as I personally predicted. It was a low-scoring, tight game ... until ... the Saints came marching in. In the fourth quarter, with Indy up 17 to 16, the Saints scored on a pass from Drew Brees to Jeremy Shockey. They then went for a two-point conversion. After it was called no ...

That’s probably what Homer would say about this amazing fact.  The 20th Television Season for the Simpsons is now on DVD and in stores, and I could hardly wait to get my hands on it.  Devoid of commercials, this gem had me up for days on end just to see it all.  I know that sounds a little ...

Surrogates, an Out-of-Body Experience

I think Bruce Willis is probably the best all-around film star that has survived nearly three decades without a dud.  And with Surrogates it’s a near miss.  Just eking above average, the film survives with some awesome special effects and Willis’ creative performance.  If you like science fiction that goes hyper realistic, then Surrogates should be on your DVD short ...

Tooth Fairy, a Comedy with Teeth

I am a family film lover at heart, and when they are produced well, like Tooth Fairy, I recommend them highly. The movie has a wonderful message for children who endeavor to realize their dreams and use their imagination. And although it gets a little silly, this film has a lot of good laughs, especially seeing The Rock in a ...

While no one can be sure what and how severe the effects of global warming will be, it is entirely possible that one outcome of our profligate use of fossil fuels could be an ice age. The theory goes that ...
