Pappy Boyington Field (DVD Review)
by: ChrisYogerst
We all know that Hollywood gets excited about patriotic stories in the same way most of us get excited about going to the dentist to get a cavity filled. Therefore, it helps to look outside of tinsel town to find a story about a real American hero.
First time filmmaker Kevin Gonzalez set out to shed [...]

r.i.p. Boner 1968-2010
On February 26, 2010 at 8:08 am
A tragic end has come to Andrew Koenig, aka, Growing Pains’ “Boner.”
What was originally reported as a disappearance, has turned in to what every one was dreading. His body was found around noon today in Stanley Park, in Vancouver. As I was writing my original article, I didn’t want it to be what I feared. [...]

Today Live Nation announced their Country Music 2010 Summer concert schedule (and the return of the Country Megaticket season ticket). Plan ahead so you don’t miss out on what is lining up to be a great summer of country music.

Andrew Koenig Goes Missing
On at 8:56 am
Andrew Koenig, best known for his role as “Boner” on the 80s sitcom Growing Pains, has disappeared.
This is particularly traumatic for me. As a middle schooler, watching Growing Pains, I remember having a crush on Boner.
Just to provide a little comic relief, in this very tragic situation, you can probably imagine the research process for [...]
Joshua Bell – “At Home With Friends” (Music review)
On February 24, 2010 at 8:21 am
**** (out of 4)
Label: Sony Classical
There are a few classical CDs that everyone should have on their shelf.

Joshua Bell is [...]
“Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief” (Film Review)
On February 23, 2010 at 9:09 am
** ½ (out of 4)
Director: Chris Columbus
Starring: Logan Lerman, Pierce Brosnan, Uma Thurman
Rick Riordan’s wildly popular book has been turned into a less than perfect movie under the direction of Chris Columbus. Imagine that – the director of the first two “Harry Potter” films taking on a very successful series of fantasy/adventure books with a [...]
Godspeed, Captain Phil
On at 8:15 am
I put off writing this all week because I try to stick to funny, happy topics, but as Parcbench’s resident Deadliest Catch fan, I can’t put off paying tribute to Captain Phil Harris any longer.
This is depressing for me, and it’s a time of year when Jews like myself are supposed to be happy, so [...]
Mitt Romney LMFAO!
On February 22, 2010 at 3:23 pm
Mitt Romey and his wife were leaving Vancouver on Monday after attending the Winter Olympics. They were sitting in coach section of a Canadian airline when the passenger in front of Mrs. Romney reclined his seat into her lap. The tactlessness notwithstanding, passengers are not allowed to recline before the plane has left the gate.
The [...]
Why You Need to Watch ‘Caprica’
On at 9:33 am
Name me one piece of popular American film in the past decade to intelligently explore the subject of religion.
Kingdom of Heaven? Nope. Expelled? No. Religulous? Heavens, no. Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy? Warmer, but no.
Today, theology is the last thing the entertainment industry wants to deal with in any kind of intelligent way. It’s difficult [...]
The Attack in Austin
On at 8:02 am
I have a confession to make.
When the combination of television and a certain well-known talk radio personality who describes himself as a “harmless little fuzz ball” were letting me know a plane had smacked into the Austin IRS complex at 825 East Rundberg Lane last week, casting a sheen of fiberglass and concrete into the [...]

“Shutter Island” (Review)
On February 19, 2010 at 8:56 am
There are four words that should get the attention of most film lovers: Directed by Martin Scorsese.
Over the years Scorsese has gained a reputation for lengthy, stylish and violent films. Most famous are his gangster flicks. However, when he steps out from his comfort zone, he is also known to deliver. Many critics have been [...]
Baiting the Mama Bear: Sarah Palin
On at 8:37 am
Sometimes it seems as though the media enjoys it when Sarah Palin goes on a rant. She tends to laugh and throw down-home quips at the tough political problems, but when somebody goes after her family, she attacks back. (Just ask David Letterman.)
The latest reckless taunting happened on “Family Guy,” a cartoon known for its [...]
