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 [...]

Carrying Connecticut

by Haley Heat, Femme45.com
The first half of 2009 showed a 90% increase in issued Connecticut pistol permits from the same period in 2008. Furthermore, many of those issued were to women. According to journalinquirer.com, the reasons for this surge vary. Some state it’s because of high profile crimes and some say it’s due to pending [...]

Project Runway 6/6

On at 7:34 am

The sixth episode of Project Runway Season 6 brought us the season’s first field trip, and I was more excited than a first grader on a crowded bus headed for the zoo! The designers met mentor Tim Gunn at a Hollywood sound stage to receive their challenge: designing a garment for a character in a [...]

“GAMER” (Film Review) (TRAILER)

“GAMER” (Film Review) (TRAILER)

* * (out of 4)
Rating: R (strong language, sexual references, some drug use)
Director: Mark Neveldine
The team behind the “Crank” series brings us a mindless exercise in frustration. Ok – noise and frustration. If you are a fan of Action/Thrillers, the filmmaking team of Nevedine/Taylor should raise your expectations, but they crank up a boring ride [...]

When Pigs Fly

When Pigs Fly

Get your flu shot. All three of them! Wear a surgical mask when in a crowd. Run the other direction when you see someone hacking up gobs of sputum. And for God’s sake, don’t cough or sneeze without burying your face in your sleeve lest Kathleen Sebilius cudgel you with the Administration’s preferred method of [...]

Celebrities Pitch for Health Care. This is What They Will Say!

Rock the Vote, which has been called a communist organization by such influential members of the media as Fingers Malloy, has enlisted celebrities such as Perez Hilton and Zach Braff to make propaganda videos in favor of government run health care.
Socialized medicine can be a sexy bitch to many 20 something’s, and Rock the [...]

Get Arrested

If you are livid about the cancellation of Arrested Development, join the angry mob.  The unjust cancellation of the Bluth Family’s shenanigans has fans (including myself) crying foul.  Carlos Mencia manages to stay on television for more than one episode, yet the most brilliant comedy series ever written is ended after three seasons—further proof that [...]

The Ladies Room: Gluten Free, Acne Free?

Going gluten-free in your diet might not be as snobby as it seems. I recently had a friend try this lifestyle out and it has worked where so-called “proven acne treatments” have failed. Acne is probably the only nightmare of puberty that manages to linger longer than the soul-crushing social awkwardness. Personally, if standing on [...]

Chrome Nails!

Chrome Nails!

As long as I can remember women have always viewed their fingernails as an accessory. From complex colorful designs to classic french tip manicures, nails have played a crucial and critical part in a woman’s completed look. While for many years other than shape, design and color, manicured nails were an overlooked staple that were considered a given. They commanded about as [...]

Film Editor’s Film Of The Week

Film Editor's Film Of The Week

My pick for this week is Rian Johnson’s Brick.  This is an excellent noir style detective film strategically placed in a high school about a boy’s search for his ex-girlfriend’s murderer.  While investigating he finds out more than he wants to!  It is full of mystery, murder, suspense, femme fatales, and fast, witty dialogue.  It [...]

First King, Then Mayor?

First King, Then Mayor?

Sure, Linda McMahon got all the press for throwing her hat in the ring (pun intended) against Chris Dodd, but wrestling legend Jerry “The King” Lawler’s candidacy for Mayor of Memphis, Tennessee, almost snuck by unnoticed.
Jerry actually began his campaign several weeks before Linda. Mayor of Memphis just isn’t quite as exciting as the U.S. [...]
