I’m of the general opinion that heavy metal can improve most theme songs, but I’m absolutely convinced that the theme song from HBO’s Game of Thrones was made for it. YouTube user 331Erock , clearly a talented guitarist (with awesome hair by the way), has just proven it with his metal Game of Thrones cover: I […]

I should preface this review of Nickelodeon’s new animated series The Legend of Korra by telling you that I’m not an Avatar: The Last Airbender fan. Not because I don’t like Avatar , I’ve just honestly never seen it. All I know about Avatar is that it’s an incredibly popular anime and that M. Night […]

I was going through a box of junk in my closet earlier tonight in search of something completely unrelated (Chinese therapy balls–don’t ask) when I discovered a thick stack of drawings that I apparently did in middle school, because they’re dated circa 1993 — 1994.

For Disney fans, the Generations collection is a treasure trove of rare or otherwise forgotten films–both animated and live-action–that until now have remained sealed away […]

There’s nothing worse than good TV shows that lose their edge and outstay their welcome. I’m happy that Eastbound and Down isn’t one of them. Last night’s episode of Eastbound and Down was most likely the last one. As in, ever . While I’m sad to see the show end, I do believe there’s such a […]

Note: for maximum preservation of lulz, this is a spoiler-free review! Being a graduate of the Class of ’99 and having grown up along with the American Pie gang, it was inevitable that I’d see American Reunion , the fourth and final film in the Pie franchise that takes place 13 years after the original. There’s a […]
