CBS clearly had a sadomasochistic relationship with the sitcom The New Adventures of Old Christine for the entire five season run of the show before finally putting the often hilarious show out of its misery earlier this year. The show, centering on Julie Louis-Dreyfus in a role even better than her iconic Seinfeld character, has her as a single mom still close with her ex-husband (Clark Gregg), and her clueless…
We have all heard that classic rock anthem for those who are about to, or already have, turned 18 – or maybe sixteen if you just wanna drop out ’cause really don’t care. We all have heard the promise that “school is out forever”, and for some of us, that is true. However, for the rest of us whom are not happy working at Mickey D’s for the rest of…
It’s been a little while since we had the chance to provide coverage for an Old Spice product, but we were lucky enough to get a box of ‘shwag from the company. This box included Proctor & Gamble’s latest two additions to the Old Spice line – the Deo Fresh and Deo Sport Body Washes. There are a number of distinct elements to this line that will ensure that Old…
I personally like when different companies marry “cute” with absolute intense, gory, or otherwise horrific themes. It’s a nice chiaroscuro, and one that livens up typically played-out genres and styles of games. Naughty Bear does just that, setting players in control of the titular character that has been utterly spurned by Daddles, whom is having a birthday party. Instead of keeping eir mouth shut, Naughty Bear looks to wreak revenge…
Enter for a chance to win an iPad from NeuFutur and punk rockers DRIVE A! The band just got off the Bamboozle Roadshow with All Time Low, and will be heading back out on the road this Fall with Bullet For My Valentine, Escape The Fate, and Black Tide.

Cognac recently has caught the eye of a new generation, the sophistication of the image of a cognac drinker ; the taste of the drink itself are the largest contributing factors. Hennessy Black brings something new to the table, a smooth dark Cognac with hint of oak and cinnamon puts a sexy dark twist on a classic drink. Danica
Lately I have been testing out a new game that just hit the AppStore called, Chuck Gnome. It is a visual treat for sure, and the game play couldn’t be easier/crack candy coated, but it does leave me asking one question; Does Travelocity know about this? I know it’s unfair to lump all Gnomes into a group, I mean Travelocity wasn’t the first place to feature a Gnome wearing a…
Very few in the way of romantic comedies can more largely be enjoyed by a movie-going audience. In fact, late-nineties/early aughts films in the vein, including Bridget Jones’ Diary or My Big Fat Greek Wedding seem incredibly dated. The Good Guy, a romantic comedy featuring Alexis Bledel as a person in charge of eir destiny, matched up with both mogul (Scott Porter) and timid one (Bryan Greenberg). The tension that…
I must admit, that I sometimes become confused with all the different bands that are coming forth with a newer rock type of sound. A few years back, there was some semblance of differentiation between them – one could understand what songs were Disturbed, which were Godsmack’s, and which ones Papa Roach cut. However, I’m seeing (or hearing) a little more collusion of these different styles in current rock music.…
In the last few years, there have been a number of different iterations of metal that really freshen up the genre. I recall a few years back, for example, reviewing a collection of metal songs for kids. This time around, metal tracks are given the flamenco treatment. Where fans lightly into metal will know a few tracks on “Heavy Mellow” (such as Megadeth’s “In My Darkest Hour”, Ozzy’s “Bark At…
If you have read any of my reviews of Facebook games you may have noticed that I typically do not like them. Personally the majority of them seem like nothing but graphic versions of pen and paper RPGs (such as Dungeons and Dragons) minus the imagination and social stigma and after playing so many of them my patience has been worn out. To call them video games is something of…

The two-day event will be held on Saturday, September 25th and Sunday, September 26 at Auto Speedway in Fontana, CA, just 35 minutes from downtown Los Angeles. The winner will receive a pair of weekend passes…
Social network games tend to be something of a breed all their own. Truthfully, I can barely tolerate the vast majority of them. However, I am aware that my opinion is the minority when it comes to this subject, and I cannot deny that these pseudo video games have a big market. The newest of these games Space Empires: Battle for Galactic Supremacy, sticks to familiar formulas and really doesn’t…
So, I recently picked up a copy of “Pages”, Apple’s word processor, for the iPad to review. I have been tinkering with it for a few days now, and I’m going to tell you what I think about. What? You don’t wanna listen to my opinion? Too bad; you’re reading it, so it won’t matter what you are listening to. This App, much like most things Apple, is done in…
Saving Grace was a series that I felt was ended too abruptly. The show itself premiered in 2007, and only got 3 full seasons before it was taken away from viewers. This DVD set, released by Fox, captures the last 19 episodes of the series. During this season, Grace (Holly Hunter) starts off fighting against a terrorist plot (“We’re Already Here”), looks into the suspicious death of a court reporter…
There are a number of different films that have mashed together the corpus of a specific genre. The Wayans Brothers have literally made a career of it, and The 41-Year-Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall And Felt Superbad About It looks to be a film that improves on the spoof films that preceded it. While obvious from the film’s title, this Craig Moss production is a sex-charged romp through…
It seems almost as if those individuals that made such great adult comedies back in the eighties were teleported to 2009 in much the same way as the characters in Hot Tub Time Machine were transported back in time. Where The Hangover was a solid film based on the established actors that made up the cast and crew, I feel that the more up and coming ensemble here really bring…
Fables of the Reconstruction, the third album from college rock poster boys R.E.M., showed the band was evolving toward a tighter, more cohesive sound. Sure Murmur and Reckoning will always be trotted out by indie music snobs as among the band’s best – and they were both good albums, unlike anything else that was being played at that time – but Fables of the Reconstruction was far more consistent. Songs…
I was born in 1983, so that is likely the reason why I was not familiar with The Poppees’ work before picking up this album. The way I see it, after hearing “Pop Goes The Anthology”, The Poppees were really influential in ultimately determining where American punk would go, in the years immediately preceding acts like The Ramones and Blondie.

There are a number of different ways that Dementium II is better than its preceding title, Dementium: The Ward (2007). Aside from the additional weaponry that players will encounter in the title, the mapping of Dementium II removes some of the more annoying problems encountered with the original effort.
