This is the first UFC event of the year that is significant. In the past couple of months, we saw BJ Penn rape Joe Stevenson and Brock Lesnar tapping to Frank Mir, but did MMA fans really care? The answer is HELL NO, althought I have to admit, I was happy when Nogueira beat Sylvia. But tomorrow, we’ll see a main event that every fan will be interested in. Without further ado, here are my predictions:

Anderson Silva Vs. Dan Henderson
Two time simultaneous Pride FC Champ(middleweight and light heavyweight), Dan Henderson will try to get a .500 record when defending …

The Jane Austen Book Club is an entertaining and interesting film, commonly termed a “chick flick”. This film proves though, that the term does not have to be a derogatory one. The film is well-made and well-acted. This is a film made for an audience of mostly women, but I think guys can enjoy the film as well. All credit should go to the excellent ensemble cast of strong and likable female characters. The standouts in the cast include Maria Bello (as a lonely woman who enjoys the company of pets over people), Emily Blunt, and Amy Brenneman (from the popular …

Evil freak, Javier Bardem with the scariest haircut in movie history, from No Country for Old Men.

The Academy Awards air on Sunday night and I wanted to make my predictions about the winners in each of the major categories:

Best Visual Effects:  Transformers will win, the effects were extremely impressive.

Best Animated Feature:  Ratatouile will win…..even though I’d like to see an upset and have Persepolis win.

Best Documentary:  The acclaimed No End in Sight will win…..although the fascinating documentary about Donkey Kong and the eternal struggle between good and evil called The King of Kong, should have been nominated.…

It’s that time of the year, Oscar season. This year is pretty tough because many nominated movies were in the same genre. Winners in Bold.

DIRECTOR

Jason Reitman – Juno
Tony Gilroy – Michael Clayton
Joel Coen and Ethan Coen – No Country for Old Men
Paul Thomas Anderson – There Will Be Blood

I’ll take a wild guess and go …

Eary this morning the AP confirmed what many already knew to be the case, that Blu Ray has won the DVD format war.  Toshiba will stop producing HD-DVD players and recorders:

Toshiba quits HD DVD business

By YURI KAGEYAMA, AP

Toshiba said Tuesday it will no longer develop, make or market HD DVD players and recorders, handing a victory to rival Blu-ray disc technology in the format battle for next-generation video.

“We concluded that a swift decision would be best,” Toshiba President Atsutoshi Nishida told reporters at his company’s Tokyo offices.

The move would make Blu-ray — backed by Sony Corp., …

For the past year or so I haven’t been watching Conan O’Brien for some unknown reason. But last week I decided to watch it again because there was nothing else on TV. As usual, the monologue was pretty funny, but what I love are his crazy non-sense segments. Sometimes we see the masturbating bear, other times he goes on location with celebrities and of course the fan favorite: Triumph The Insult Comic Dog!

This time around, he didn’t have any of those sketches. Conan just started complaining that he should get credit for Mike Huckabee’s campaign instead of Jon Stewart and …

There’s too much crap in our pop culture that we’ve decided to have a new weekly article on it. So without further ado:

I netflix’d this movie after seeing potential in the film. Boy was I wrong. The first rant goes to a movie that defies logic and unnecessary plot twists. It’s directed by the great James Wan, director of the also incoherent Saw and stars Kevin Bacon. If you guessed Death Sentence, you are right. It’s suppose to be a new version of the classic franchise, Death Wish. But what we got was a boring and tedious movie with a …

Rambo is back and better than ever.  The patriotic (aka right wing) icon returns to take out basically the entire Burmese army.  Whatever Rambo lacks in subtlety, it makes up for in pure action and ultraviolence.  This is easily the goriest film in years and makes SAW 4 look like a slow ride to grandma’s house.  I doubted that Sly Stallone could make a good film out of the Rambo franchise but he proved me wrong once again, much like he did with the surprisingly effective Rocky Balboa.  Stallone strips away the cartoonish goofiness of Rambo 3 in favor of a …

It’s that day today for the primary votes and I hope all you guys who can vote ARE VOTING. Don’t come to me and say, “Damn, I hate our new president!”

Well that’s because you didn’t vote.…
