We’re a week out from The Wrestler being shafted for Best Original Song this year - hell, it wasn’t even nominated, which is bullshit.  It got me thinking though - where have the awesome original songs gone?  I’m not talking about songs that are loosely written about the film or ...

A wise man once said “It’s not just about seeing Star Wars two weeks before everyone else. You’ve gotta plow through crap like Marie Antoinette and Catwoman as well.� I have the fortune of being able to see all of the films that I want, and find out that they are only worth one viewing (or l...

Filed under: Blu-ray It's hard to believe we are already half way through January, but we are and by the looks of it, we won't have any "great" titles until after the Oscars in late February.

I had a dream about a spotted horse last night, bay, her shoulders frosted and the spots spangling her milky way.
