Feels Like Old Times: Notes from the Milwaukee Film Festival 2009 Part 2
On January 12, 2010 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 [...]
Oh, Grow Up!
On at 7:45 am
Twenty guys in turbans and long beards could walk right through airport security, but who gets detained overnight? Joan Rivers. I am glad the airports are finally getting to the real root of terror – old Jewish comedians. I demand Don Rickles be brought in for questioning. Jerry Lewis should be put on a no-fly [...]
Feels Like Old Times: Notes from the Milwaukee Film Festival 2009 Part 1
On at 7:06 am
“We’ve been through a lot of obstacles,” sighed Jonathan Jackson, executive director of the Milwaukee Film Festival, as he stood on the stage of Mequon’s North Shore Cinema. He didn’t bother to elaborate—after all, he had an opening night film to present—but everybody in the room understood what he was talking about.
Last year, there [...]

Kelly Cutrone Gets Ready for “Kell on Earth”
On at 12:40 pm
If you love/hate/who cares MTV’s “The City” and “The Hills” you may be familiar with a little boss lady named Kelly Cutrone. She’s the owner of People’s Revolution and the boss of you…even if you don’t work for her. Well Kelly landed her own reality show called “Kell on Earth” which gives us all a [...]
Katharine McPhee – “Unbroken” (Album Review)
On January 8, 2010 at 7:53 am
*** (out of 4 stars)
Label: Verve Forecast
Sometimes, being patient pays off. With her new album “Unbroken,” Katharine McPhee brings us a more mature sound. But she still has fun with it – after all, she’s a blonde now. It’s worth the wait, even if the bonus track (“I’ll Be Home For Christmas”) isn’t the kind [...]
Leap Year (Film Review)
On at 5:47 am
Some of the most successful comedies of the last ten years have earned their R ratings within minutes of opening scenes. It is almost risky nowadays to scale back and attempt a smaller, less vulgar and sexual romantic comedy. Leap Year tries to bring the genre out of the gutter, if only for an hour [...]
On Boozing Grannies and the News-Stations who Love them
On January 7, 2010 at 11:47 am
Last week, the news network that for some unholy reason still employs Rick Sanchez decided to give us all a taste of what life would be like with relatives we’d rather forget. No, we didn’t get to sit through a retelling of Chevy Chase’s Christmas Vacation in which the Griswolds were portrayed as heartless tax [...]
Darksiders Review
On at 11:33 am
Playing as one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse is cool. Playing as a horseman with gameplay concepts “borrowed” from God of War, Zelda, and a pinch of Portal, is also cool. Obviously, built on the foundations of it’s predecessors, Darksiders is a very fun game (Despite the fact that all the characters look [...]
Snooki’s Got a Gun!
On at 10:13 am
Hold on to your “freakin’ poof” because Snooki from Jersey Shore stopped by the MTV Newsroom (check out the video here) to catch up with some of the good folks over there (who will hopefully, for the love of God, hire me one day) and to play a little shootin’ game called “Big Buck Safari.” With [...]
