I typically don’t write about a topic two days in a row because I have the attention span of a gnat and the same computer I type these articles on has my porn, so you do the math. But the way ESPN and Sports Illustrated have glommed on to the […]
I suppose it’s a commentary on our times that I know by now how Twitter–without fail–reacts in the face of carnage-filled tragedy. The responses in the wake of the horrific events that took place at the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday showed once again that the tweeters, […]
I live in a very ethnically-varied area. From block to block, you might think you’re passing through a Korean ghetto, a Latino ghetto or an Indian ghetto (I said ethnically-varied, not economically). The perk of the simmering race war I call home is there are plenty of weird places to […]
The Scary Movie series is everything insidious and wrong with this generation’s comedy films. I’m not saying that to get up on some high horse and pretend that comedy cinema was pure good until 2000, but at least bad 80s comedies had the decency to offer up some flat-chested blonde […]

As each new technology is released upon the world, people have invariably figured out how to use it to get laid. Cell phones may be the worst offender of the bunch. Who doesn’t have at least a few people in their lives they text flirtatiously? The problem is…what happens when […]
Six years have gone by since the original live-action Transformers. With the passage of time, it’s becoming more and more obvious that the film is seen as a rather seminal achievement in summer popcorn cinema. And that is depressing on so many levels. Let’s be honest: The first Transformers was […]
