WatchThe Express, Ernie Davis biopic starring Dennis Quad. I only post this because of Syracuse, otherwise I’d have no interest in it and would probably just watch Remember The Titans on ABC Family instead.

Dr. Sweeney
I’m currently relishing in Joss Whedon’s recent internet musical Dr. Horrible’s Sing A Long Blog. As previously reported it stars NPH as a mad man, bent on revenge. Sounds familiar right? Let’s take a look at a scene from Sweeney Todd and a similar one from Dr. Horrible.
Sweeney and Dr. Horrible both seem to have a profound lack of faith in human kind. They...
The Golden Age
As I write this Comic Con 08 is in full swing. I can’t say much about it because the only Con I’ve witnessed has been through the eyes of G4, /film.com, and the Human Giant guys. But there is something I’ve come to realize. It’s possible that the genre has hit a ceiling.
Like Michael Uslan (producer of every Batman movie since 89) said yesterday in an interview with...

Imagine the world before we came along and screwed it up.
This is just like Zeus and Roxanne, except instead of a dolphin, it’s a whale.
What an entertainer.
Justin Timberlake was this year’s host of ESPN’s award show The Espy’s. The guy is all talent, its unbelievable. Not an obvious choice to host an award show, but damn does he fit the job well.
Highlight - a mid song face down with his infamous 04 wardrobe malfunction incident. “I thought no one was watching, it was a wardrobe malfunction, I wanted to be the only guy at a...

The 2008 Emmy nominees were announced this morning, an article with the major categories can be seen here. My thoughts are as follows…
Comedy Series - Supporting Actor in a comedy series is completely stacked, any one of these guys (excluding Jon Cryer, who I find to be ironcially whiny) could and should walk away with this award. Amy Poehler got a Supporting Actress nod for SNL, I believe...

Quickies.
I bought my Dark Knight ticket tonight. Thursday at midnight can’t come soon enough.
Saw [title of show] on Friday night. Its a new musical about two guys writing a musical about two guys writing a musical. It’s original and inspiring. A real underdog story. Here’s to hoping it’s small size, and Broadway’s poor numbers won’t hinder its run.
There will be no...

I’ll admit it, I like the Buffy musical “Once More With Feeling.” That being said, it only makes sense that I’m excited for “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.” Its a new musical, web series from Joss Whedon starring Neil Patrick Harris. In the words of Barney Stinson, it’s going to be legen…wait for it…dary.
“Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along...
Robots and Friends.
This seems like an overstatement at this point considering all the positive buzz, but Wall-E is so good. It may get a little preachy, but the pure heart of this film is a rarity worth witnessing. God bless Pixar and their spotless record.
In completely unrelated news I heard a Friends movie has been greenlit. Not sure how I feel about this, the jump from multicam sitcom to one cam cinema might be...

I saw Will Smith’s newest July 4th blockbuster, Hancock on Tuesday. Without ruining everything, it was a big dissapointment. Obviously the cast lead by Smith shines but unfortunately what could have been a smart skewering of the superhero genre becomes a stereotypical melodramatic superhero movie in itslef.
Getting that short little review out of the way, I want to discuss the...
