What the Oscars Missed
by Robert • 28 February 2011 • 0 Comments
While the Academy Awards are (kindly, mercifully) over, the Academy’s omissions are still strong with us. Many key categories saw glaring snubs that make it hard to take all of the wins so seriously. Here are a few of my…
The 2011 Academy Awards Prediction Extravaganza
by Robert • 25 February 2011 • 0 Comments
Sorry about no new post last night. There was a really messed up situation happening with one of my students and I was on and off the phone all night trying to sort it out; I couldn’t. It’s up to…
Play It: Rebuild
by Robert • 24 February 2011 • 0 Comments
I almost feel like I’m in a gaming rut. I’ve been digging through sites to find new games and consistently have been drawn to strategy/defense games. I can’t help it if the indie game developers are doing interesting things with…
Presented Without Comment: Bjork’s “Earth Intruders”
by Robert • 23 February 2011 • 0 Comments
I’m two weeks out from a terribly difficult show and just moved into a new place that doesn’t have a reliable Internet connection. Bear with me.
Film Review: Altitude (2010)
by Robert • 23 February 2011 • 0 Comments
Altitude has all the makings of a good horror/ suspense film. Problem is, writer Paul A. Birkett is so obsessed with closing every plot-hole and setting up enough realistic content to sell the weird twists that the screenplay becomes contrived.…
What You Missed: RuPaul’s Drag Race: Season 3, Ep. 6
by Robert • 22 February 2011 • 0 Comments
This week, the girls were challenged with one of the standout tasks from last season: The Snatch Game. The girls had to dish out their best celebrity impersonations in a send-up of the ever-popular Match Game. RuPaul, however, was not…
Watch: Anything Goes Rehearsal Footage
by Robert • 22 February 2011 • 1 Comment
I won’t lie. I was very skeptical about this revival of Anything Goes. Joel Grey, to me, is way too old to play Moonface Martin and Sutton Foster hasn’t shown the sass-mouth brassy belt ala Reno Sweeney before (though Janet…
From the Page to the Screen: Comments on Marketing for Jane Eyre and Atlas Shrugged
by Robert • 21 February 2011 • 0 Comments
I can safely say at this point, I am so happy that people are talking about The Great Gatsby that I don’t care the new adaptation is being filmed in Australia with a $125million budget to account for 3D and…
Presidents Day Rec: Dick (1999)

Hey, did you hear the one about New Jersey being trapped under another half foot of snow? How about the one about entire counties in New Jersey running out of sidewalk salt such that if it snowed again this year,…
Bizarre, but True: Anna Nicole: The Opera
by Robert • 18 February 2011 • 0 Comments
I make it no secret that I seek out some weird media content. I’m just fascinated by what other people think are great ideas that just come across as bizarre. We’re not talking about merely writing a novel from the…
Listen: “6’7″ by Lil Wayne featuring Cory Gunz
by Robert • 18 February 2011 • 0 Comments
I have a bad habit of getting hooked on a song to the point that I can listen to it for hours on loop without break. Sometimes it’s some bizarre novelty in the song–a certain instrument, a repeated lick, a…
Flick or Skip: I Am Number Four (Opening 18 February 2011)
by Robert • 17 February 2011 • 0 Comments
I Am Number Four is a teen-aimed science fiction film based off of the young-adult novel of the same name by Pittacus Lore (really Stephen Frey and Jobie Hughes). Off of that trailer alone, I would undoubtedly want to see…
Made for TV Movie Review: The Late Shift (1996)
by Robert • 17 February 2011 • 0 Comments
A lesson to keep in mind for anyone who might eventually share a Netflix queue with me: if I don’t know what a film is, I’m not going to let it occupy the number 1 slot for fear of it…
