Iron Chef Exposed

http://www.villagevoice.com/news/…
The Village Voice has a great post calling out Iron Chef America. We all knew the show was stupid and staged (though the original one was very good), but this is too much… I can’t believe I’m writing this, but I have lost even more respect for the Food Network. I did not even think [...]

Coen Brothers and Chabon team up

That’s right- the Coen brothers are going to do a movie version of The Yiddish Policeman’s Union. Pretty great news- in my opinion Michael Chabon is a great writer and the Coen brothers, well, they are some of the only people making movies that are worth watching.

But the Discovery Channel has [...]

Review: 300

For months now I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of 300. This is the movie adaptation of a graphic novel from Frank Miller and Lynn Varley. I finally got to go see it on Saturday (disappointingly, not at the Imax).
Let me preface this informal review by saying I have read the graphic novel [...]
