I was playing basketball with friends for a good two hours.  Afterwards we ate a Mexican restaurant where the talk turned geeky.  We talked about upcoming movies we were excited to watch as well as action figures, specifically Mighty Muggs.  We shared which Muggs’ we had, as well as the ones we wanted to get.  [...]

This just in from the  Times Online, Megan Fox thinks Wonder Woman is lame. “Wonder Woman is a lame superhero,” says Megan Fox to the Sun Times. “She flies around in her invisible jet and her weaponry is a lasso that makes you tell the truth. I just don’t get it. Somebody has a big [...]

Unlike MMA in the U.S. where fights are sanctioned (weight divisions, roid tests), Japan lets MMA organizations run it by themselves.  That means, roid tests aren’t required and a 180 lb guy can fight a 350 lb fighter.  Pretty much, anything goes.  Some fighters don’t even know who they’re fighting until the day before the [...]

So I covered Saturday-Sunday of my New Orleans here.  This article will cover the rest of my trip from the Big Easy. Monday: After having about 4 hours of sleep, I wake up early to get ready for the Plantation Tour.  I asked the front desk which tour was the best and he suggested I take [...]

McG takes a crack at directing the latest Terminator flick that’s planned to be the first of a trilogy chronicling John Connor’s war against Skynet and the machines. Being a fan of Terminator 2, it’s hard not to compare Salvation to James Cameron’s masterpiece. As a film in the Terminator mythology, Salvation feels like one [...]

At first blush, Liam Neeson may seem an odd choice to play a Jason Bourne-esque father seeking some Albanian thugs who kidnapped his daughter to sell her into a sexual slavery ring. Neeson is older now and almost Zen in so many roles, but he’s perfectly cast in Taken. He makes a thoroughly convincing action [...]

Rashad Evans vs. Lyoto Machida (Title Match) – The main event of the evening. I’m not sure how to call this fight, as both fighters are very unorthodox with their styles. Machida is known for his “elusiveness,” which means that most fighters cannot touch him on their feet. His judo takedowns are very effective, even [...]

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since Star Wars: Episode 1 – Phantom Menace came out in theatres.  I remember the crazy hype before the movie was released:  kids meal tie ins, stores opening at midnight to sell Star Wars Merchandise, record breaking number of downloads for the trailer.  I fell for the hype.  [...]

I was taking a nap when I suddenly felt the room shake.  At first, I thought I was dreaming but then the building started shaking harder.  I saw my action figures sway back and forth.  This is when I came to my full senses and ran outside with my boxers on.  As I was running passed the [...]
