24: Out of Time?
by: GeoffBurch
In the famous and frantic words of Jack Bauer, 24 could be “running out of time!” Fox is expected to soon announce the cancellation of 24, stopping the clock of the hit television drama after its current eighth season. Also in the legendary words of Jack, my reaction is: “Damn it!”
Debuting less than two months [...]

American Obama?
On January 25, 2010 at 9:22 am
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! American Idol, 24 and Damages are back – giving me too much television to watch and an excuse not to venture out into the January cold, yet still feel I have a life and am connected to society at large.
January 19th’s American Idol took us to Chicago. [...]

“THE BOOK OF ELI” (Film Review)
On January 22, 2010 at 10:40 am
** ½ (out of 4)
Directors: Albert and Allen Hughes
Rated: R (strong language, brutal violence)
Shouldn’t it be enough for a movie to have a decent storyline, a cool star, adequate acting, and an admirable sense of purpose? Or should I actually feel something about the storyline, the star, and that sense of purpose too? No matter [...]

We know. You want her to just go away.
At Parcbench, it’s our solemn duty to keep human train-wrecks like Nadya “The Octomom” Suleman in the headlines. It’s a job, and yes, it’s a sick, sick pleasure.
Nadya didn’t disappoint this week. Foxnews was all-too-excited to run an entire photo gallery of Ms. Suleman posing in a [...]
“Extraordinary Measures”: Feature Film or Lifetime Original?
On at 6:15 am
Upon seeing the trailer for Extraordinary Measures, once can only come to a single conclusion. This film looks like nothing more than a made for TV movie with Hollywood actors that should be airing on the Lifetime network and not in the local theater. Those who made this assumption will be pleasantly surprised with the [...]
Dark Void (Game Review)
On January 21, 2010 at 8:12 am
Dark Void is like a mash-up of Battlestar Galactica and Gears of War, starring the jetpack wearing hero of The Rocketeer. What you get is pretty seamless transition from aerial combat, to 3rd-person shooting. Borrowing heavily from Gears of War’s cover system for the firefights, Dark Void feels like an unpolished cousin during on the [...]
“DAYBREAKERS” (REVIEW) Bright idea, but burned out!
On January 20, 2010 at 6:34 am
In a time where paranormal activity, the end of world, and vampires seem to be the trend, I was convinced that Daybreakers was going to be that change of pace we all needed. I was wrong.
Immediately, the film captures your attention and finely transitions into the opening credits and exposition of the story. At this [...]
My Blue Alien Heaven
On January 18, 2010 at 10:09 am
In Peter Weir’s “The Truman Show,” Noah Emmerich’s character Marlon commented on the sky above as he talked life and love with Jim Carrey.
The two gaze at a sunset, during which Marlon brought up the brush the “big guy” upstairs used to sculpt the moment. The big guy upstairs wasn’t the “big guy,” as we [...]
“THE SPY NEXT DOOR” (Film Review)
On at 6:49 am
* (out of 4)
Director: Brian Levant
Rated: PG (mild violence)
I actually kinda liked this movie the first time I saw it. Of course, back then it starred Vin Diesel and was called “The Pacifier.” This second time, however was a different story. I think. Honestly, there may have been a good 15 minutes of cinematic brilliance [...]

“The Lovely Bones” (Film Review)
On January 15, 2010 at 6:48 am
Anyone who has dealt with death knows that it is one of the hardest things to cope with. Those of us who had to deal with death as a child know how difficult it is to comprehend the finality of it at such a young age. This is a subject that is tough to portray [...]
“YOUTH IN REVOLT” (Film Review)
On at 6:29 am
* * * (out of 4)
Rating: R (sexual content, language, drug use)
Director: Miguel Arteta
“Youth in Revolt” presents an honest assessment of the trilogy of teenage obsession: sex, rebellion, and parental defiance. It doesn’t apologize for the awkward moments, and it doesn’t glorify the triumphant moments. Instead, it treats these big subjects with small doses of [...]
