A week after its premiere, which had me obnoxiously screeching “Zou Bisou Bisou” in the face of everyone I passed, Mad Men worked its magic again with last night’s episode, “Tea Leaves.” And how did it do that, you may wonder? Simple. By putting the sexy-if-vanilla January Jones in a […]
The original Clash of the Titans was one of those oddball fantasy movies that, along with Krull and The Beastmaster, invariably managed to be on TBS any time I was up spending the night tripping balls on cough syrup as a teen. It featured laughable special effects and was recorded […]
One would assume that Bully offers a glimpse into the current “epidemic” of adolescent bullying. Not to sound like a dick, but I don’t get why bullying is the hot new cause du jour. People have been bullied forever, and teaching kids that the answer to bullying is to cry […]
Mad Men returned for its fifth season Sunday after what seemed like a 19 year hiatus, and my tv-rection could not have been bigger. You can’t help but love that show for so many reasons: Fantastic writing and beautiful retro sets. Christina Hendricks’ tits threatening to pop out of her […]

The majority of my movie reviews are overwhelmingly negative. Many would attribute that to me being a pessimist: I believe it’s because most movies are garbage and should refer to themselves as “time machines that brought you 90 minutes closer to the grave without enriching your life in the slightest.” […]
I don’t like to talk about Eddie Murphy because I find it extremely depressing. Eddie Murphy was, unequivocally, one of the funniest people who has ever lived. Delirious and Raw are the two greatest stand-up specials ever recorded. Watch Trading Places, and I dare you to look me in the […]
