2009 is the 25th Anniversary of one of the films which shaped my childhood, a film with an iconic soundtrack, spinoff cartoons, an underwhelming sequel and the biggest cutest bad guy ever. The film is Ghostbusters and the bad guy; The “Staypuft Marshmallow Man” and now a full quarter cen...

A recent .gif inspired me to waste hours of my life on this post. Hours I will never get back. I will mark those along with the possible 50+ hours I have spent watching this movie over and over again. This poster hangs in my office, no lie. The year was 1987 and for those of us just coming out of St...

If you're like me, you wake up practically every morning thinking about Rick Moranis and why he decided to leave us so soon.

My college campus was filled with geese and their subsequent droppings. One couldn't take a step anywhere without stepping into their business or, at the very least, getting cackled at. Years after graduation, when I was a local news reporter, I'd often cover stories about how municipalities were tr...

I recently checked a bunch of video game websites to see when the new FIFA Street game was coming out. I didn't find a release date (turns out there won't be a new game this year), but I did learn that there are a few sweet games coming out in 2009. Here are the 10 PS3 games that caught my eye...

We can find out later this month, when the comic/author/banjo player/multiple Grammy winner releases an album of original banjo songs called The Crow: New Songs For The Five-String Banjo .

newVideoPlayer("/Hills_Dec8.flv", 506, 423,""); Last week was a tough week for me and The Hills . They dragged an old lady into the grim proceedings and it made me think that the whole glorious and painful history of 20th century America was null and void.
