V for Verisimilitude

V for Verisimilitude

ABC’s remake of the 1983 miniseries “V” debuted Wednesday night.  It’s good.  Only one episode in it’s already better than anything ABC has to offer, cleverly avoiding the traps a first act tends to set:  overlong character development acted at mediocre caliber, slow reveals, laying an obvious groundwork for future plot twists.  V byp

25 Random Things About Me, Nancy Pelosi

25 Random Things About Me, Nancy Pelosi

Parcbench is a hard hitting, fact finding, truth spilling machine. It is not some kind of gossip rag like Us Weekly or the New York Times. For example, we passed on the New York Times story that reported Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s son Trigg is actually a robot created by Exxon Mobil. (but we’ll ...

“STORM” (Film Review) (TRAILER)

* * * (out of 4) Rating: No rating (limited strong language) Director: Hans-Christian Schmid. In English, German, Bosnian and Serbian (with English subtitles). It’s not often that Hollywood makes a film that depicts the unpleasant complications inherent in the aftermath of a world conflict, especially when the story reveals how the moral principl

Ultimate Fighter 10 Episode 8: One Soldier Left

Rat Mitrione is staying another week, and Rampage ain’t happy. That was the final verdict of last week’s Ultimate Fighter episode, which left a bad taste in the mouths of a lot of people – as the episode opens, we get to see construction material be murdered all over again and split into three huge pieces ...

The Fat Lady Sings

The Fat Lady Sings

Or, was it the fat guy? As a lifelong resident of the Blue State of New Jersey, I often feel like I live in a parallel universe – Bizarroland, as made popular on Seinfeld. People vote for higher taxes, corruption and status quo. We embrace the Sopranos because they are cool. We are the butt-end of jokes, ...

Tuesday Election Recap

Election night 2009 once again proves correct that consummate political truth: nothing changes everything.  One year ago, it seemed as though the sky has forever fall on Republicans, having suffered crushing defeats in the presidential election and in both houses of Congress.  The pain was only magnified when months later Republicans also lost a

The Ladies Room: Pick your Poison

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Ladies, you need to have a signature cocktail. You may not realize how much it ups your classy factor. For starters, it’s important to know your way around a drink. Each spirit can affect a person differently. If you’re looking to maintain a level of control for ...

(VIDEO) Drink Driving: Forklift Smashes Massive Vodka Stock

Normally we save the short videos for ParcLIVE! but this is something you really have to see. And no, we don’t mean to inundate today’s front page with alcohol related media but that’s just the way it ended up. So a drunk Russian forklift operator smashes a crap-ton of vodka. Ironic.

Religious Bigotry and Media Bias in NY City Council Race CD-19

The New York City Council race in District 19 between Dan Halloran (R,C,I,L) and Kevin Kim (D) has implications that ripple far beyond the compass of Northeast Queens.  The press ignores the real issues plaguing the residents. The disruption caused by high taxes, fiscal irresponsibility, City Council ACORN and WFP slush funds, overdevelopment, Eng

TOTUS BLOG: Hilarity Since 2008

Any American who obsessively followed last year’s unfortunate Presidential election where Barack “Incompetence” Obama got elected had to have stumbled across the TOTUS blog. TOTUS stands for “Teleprompter of the United States” and is a play off words from the widely used phrase “POTUS” which, obviously, sta

CNN Takes a Swipe at Religion

CNN Takes a Swipe at Religion

Maybe CNN’s anti-religion statement was a subconscious one, but it shouldn’t go unnoticed. Yesterday, CNN.com gave top billing to two stories, side-by-side. One was the tragic story of a young woman who was run down by her own father because she had become too “westernized.” The other was a story about Jews who are choosing
