For those of you who may not be familiar with Burtons’ work, he is a writer, director, producer, and sometimes actor. Ever since he hit the mainstream with Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, he’s been entertaining audiences with his dark, wry humor and eclectic adaptations of classic stories.

“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 [...]
Sarah Palin Joins FOX
On January 14, 2010 at 10:09 am
Fox News has hired the most polarizing figure in American culture. She left the world agape with her resignation, and the media fixated on her. Just when you thought you’d seen the last of Sarah Palin, she signs a deal with Fox to be a commentator.
“Governor Palin has captivated everyone on both sides of the [...]
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers (Game Review)
On at 9:05 am
Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles for Gamecube was a good game. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers for Wii, is not a good game. In fact, Crystal Bearers goes down as another entry on the growing list of unfortunate blatant FF spin off cash-ins. Any fan boy should feel aggrieved, and will be left nursing [...]
You Think Lack of Abdul Can Slow This Train Wreck Down?
On January 13, 2010 at 2:49 pm
You guessed it. American Idol recap is back. You still with me? Well, it is. Deal with it the same way you deal with terrorist attacks. Here’s just some of what happened last night on Idol that lasted, what I can only assume was, 14 hours of programming.
Wow. 2 seconds in and I remember how [...]
Best Films of 2009
On at 7:00 am
Here are my favorite films of the last year. Those with links will direct you to my review of the film.
Inglourious Basterds- This is Tarantino at his absolute best.
The Hangover- The most successful comedy ever for more reasons that I can type.
District 9- For a genre that is dead to me, this sci-fi drama hit [...]
Who’s Your (baby) Daddy?
On January 12, 2010 at 10:05 am
Ugly Betty has catapulted from Friday night prime-time exile to the top of the heap – right after ABC’s clever and well- written Modern Family and the popular-yet-depressing-to-me Cougartown.
I work in fashion, live in New York City and have long hung out with gay guys, so Ugly Betty has been a guilty pleasure for me [...]
The “It’s Complicated” Rating Debate
On at 9:44 am
Just when it seems more and more Americans are becoming in favor of legalizing the personal use of marijuana, the Hollywood motion picture industry is holding things together and making sure that a couple of elderly actors don’t promote the illegal use of the drug. Of course, it isn’t Hollywood that Hollywood is worried about [...]
Feels Like Old Times: Notes from the Milwaukee Film Festival 2009 Part 2
On at 5:37 am
Trends rarely emerge at something-for-everyone festivals, but I would argue that many of the best films at Milwaukee shared the common virtue of providing better questions than answers.
Consider Nicolas Winding Refn’s Bronson, which recounts the story of a real-life petty thief who borrowed his name from the American action star and, through notorious violence, [...]
Tiger Woods + The Oregon Trail = Closure
On January 11, 2010 at 11:05 am
If you’re like IBBB and sick of hearing about Tiger Woods and his alleged mistresses, let’s have our favorite 80’s Apple IIc computer game, Oregon Trail, decide the fate of this scandal. I mean, this is what I do to make major decisions in my life, so it only makes sense that Tiger do the same. Boarding the [...]
Time for Yet Another Shot at Love
On at 9:21 am
Tila Tequila - always a skanky internet and television personality, never a bride.
Is it really a surprise that Tila Tequila’s marriage didn’t happen? Ok, I suppose the circumstances are a bit unexpected. But not the outcome.
Casey Johnson, heiress to a fortune of soap and baby oil, was found dead on January 4th. The exact conditions are [...]
