    What song do you have stuck in your head right now?

    Don't fear the baseline, learn to love it. It's one of the best things you'll do this hour, before you get over it...eventually. Oh, and my head seems to be alternating between Neighbourhood #3 (Power Out) By Arcade Fire, Love Me Like You by The Magic Numbers, and Lips Like Oranges by Clare...

    The Producers

    I'm gonna be nonconformitive(tm) and say that I actually liked The Producers. This is actually a decent adaptaion of the original source, unlike nearly every hollywood film adaptation released, though this isn't too special, as the film seems to be copied verbatim from the stage production...

    wolfmother suck wang

    Try preeching that to today's popular muzak pumpers out there. I'm not even gonna start with the whole 'originality is impossible' debate. However, nearly Everyone, not just Wolfmother, are looking back to the past, blatantly lifting tunes, riffs and beats (or 'sampling' as they call it). Just...

    wolfmother suck wang

    I come here defending the Wolfmother cause. Sure they may take more inspiration from led zepplin et al than most led zepplin cover bands, and sure (if we must) they may not be the preetiest pennnies in the cliche. However, seldom few can deny that they don't deliver what they promise, hard...

    Fun with Dick and Jane

    ...yeah, I don't think that they'd show those types of movies at a megaplex. Besides, do we really want those raincoat types stinking up the joints? Anywho... Fun With Dick and Jane is a so-so movie, yet at the same time, completely forgettable. The jokes, on occasions, can be funny, but...

    The Legend of Zoro

    Anything but. It brings ABSOLUTELY nothing new to the table. It rehashes moments here and there, the plot is old hat, the stereotypes are slaughtered, even the moments that make Zorro, well, Zorro are unsurprising. The action scenes are so-so, though nothing awe-inspiring. The special...

    King Kong

    Way, way, way too long. Peter Jackson may be crapping on about alll the schmaltzy arty motivations ("blah blah blah this is what made me want to make movies blah blah blah") but for the love og all things sugary, ya don't have to push your beliefs onto such an innocent film. Just by cutting...

    Flightplan

    ...and failed miserably. Intriguing start (probaby due to the 'inspiration' provided by Hitchcock), then changes pace and direction completely (in one of the worst possible ways), ultimately turning this stinker into a Bruckheimer-esque mess.

    What is everyones favourite Michael Jackson song?

    Easily Billie Jean, or perhaps Can't Stop Til You Get Enough. Basically, anything he released when he was black rocks. Don't get me started on Thriller. As soon as he turned white, though, thats when he started going all sour and preechy. Black and White is probably the gateway between his...

    40 year old virgin

    Hold on to your chairs, people. A sex comedy that's actually funny. Unlike the appaling Deuce Bigalo, this one actually hasjokes, funny jokes in them. Watch for the waxing scene and the ending. Hilarious. The makers also included something seldom featured in comedies: good characters...
