The Smurfs teaser trailer because the art of film is ALIVE, you guys

I know it’s popular to be all “I hate Hollywood for taking my favorite childhood tv shows/cartoons/video games/board games/bubble gum mascots and turning them into dumb new movies,” but since The Smurfs was never a great part of my childhood, I feel unbiased in my look at this new teaser for [...]

Good bands to play lame Hot Topic stores for Twilight promo

By now, everybody knows about the OMZGAWESOME soundtrack for the next Twilight movie that includes the likes of Death Cab For Cutie, Bon Iver, Radiohead, et al. But what you might NOT have known were plans to have said artists tour Hot Topic stores to promote the thing. The New [...]

Death Cab’s new song for the Twilight movie

This whole situation seems really shady to me. The soundtrack for the new Twilight movie includes the likes of Death Cab For Cutie, Radiohead, Muse and Bon Iver. Although they’re all very stereotypical downtrodden “indie” bands, it’s still a pretty stellar lineup for an awful movie about teenage vampires. If you pre-order [...]

Remember that time you got hammered at a concert only to see the band was more drunk than you were?? Me neither, I was too wasted. But the point is, I’m sure it’s happened to all of us, maybe suspecting the artists are playing on crack or ‘shrooms or just plain Vitamin Water, [...]

One Good Man: The happy Mormon movie you’ve been waiting for!

This is a big step, you guys. And I don’t even mean that in a snarky way! Mormons don’t really have a lot of legit movies come out, and this one looks legit! Good for them. I’m happy, progress and togetherness, ya know? But there’s a problem with this movie and [...]

Transformers 2 makes The Worst Soundtrack of 2009

I don’t like to judge people on their music taste. If you happen to love Billy Joel and only Billy Joel, that’s fine! You’re not a bad person! He’s very talented, I just don’t like him. But that doesn’t mean I can’t judge bad music itself, and especially executives who put together [...]

Avatar looks less than good (bad?)

James Cameron’s Avatar has had high expectations. Since it’s his first movie since Titanic, everybody’s all “It’ll be great. Oscars all around.” So we finally get a look at the masterpiece today and it looks… bad? I hate to say it, but what the hell is going on? The man [...]
