Paranormal Activity by James Roland As near as I can tell, Paranormal Activity utilizes a single moment of computer-generated visual effects. The rest seems to be old-fashioned trickery. Doors move on their own, invisible shapes cast shadows on the wall, and deep, resonating sounds emanate from the walls. And Hollywood should take note, because such […]

Back in the Saddle by Titus Gee Less than an hour after crawling off the 210 Freeway, I started getting the question. It’s almost like a ritual response, like saying ‘how are you?’ in passing to a stranger. A motorcycle hits the pavement and the burning question apparently forms in every mind: “Are you going […]

Religion is Bad, Science Will Kill You, Put Your Faith in Puppets by Joel Champagne Tim Burton’s 9 must be a movie for kids. Not because of the animation, or the simple characters, or the 79-minute length. But because there is a slim chance that a child may not have seen this story dozens of […]

Comic-Con Update #6 by James Roland If you are nervous that Iron Man 2 will suffer from Pirates of the Caribbean-itis, it seems like you can breathe easy. Judging from the Comic-Con footage, it will be amazing. It starts with Tony Stark in his suit with the mask off, chowing down donuts while sprawled inside […]

Update #5: Zombieland by James Roland If you saw the early trailer for this film, you probably had the same thought that I did: so it’s Shaun of the Dead without the clever writing. Great.

I love the show, but with the late afternoon time slot and none of the actors showing up, I couldn’t really get psyched about going. Also, my […]

The Late-Night Heat by Joel Champagne So after my laptop died, there were only two events left in my night. The first was the panel for True Blood, and the second was the screening of Torchwood: Children of Earth. It was a rather odd night, as both series were fairly unknown to me, but judging […]

V by Joel Champagne Warner Bros. showed an amazing screening of V, the new sci-fi series starring Joel Gretsch, Morena Baccarin, Scott Wolf, Morris Chestnut, and Elizabeth Mitchell to name a few. The show is just astounding. It has some pretty excellent effects, and the acting is top-notch. Having never seen the original series, I can’t […]

Animation Station by Joel Champagne Cartoons were the name of the game this afternoon. Family Guy and its offspring The Cleveland Show were first. Seth MacFarlane showed us a ton of clips, beginning with “I have a bad feeling about this,” the Family Guy spoof of The Empire Strikes Back. Though only a small segment […]

Chuck by Joel Champagne This is the first thing I saw after standing in line all morning. It was totally worth it. Chuck started off my day in truly epic fashion. A rendition of “Fat Bottomed Girls” performed by Chuck‘s very own Jeffster. The crowd erupted into cheers as the cast and writers filtered in. […]
