GAMER
The guys who made “Crank” bring you, in a similarly insane fashion, the story of a world where people’s video game avatars, are other people. Living people. Because some folks got the money to pay and some people need to get paid the money. Is that concept all that far fetched? Ok… Continue
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY
Is it the scariest film ever? Is it the worst movie ever made? Opinions this year were more wildly different about P.A. than even “Avatar”. When I give my thumbs up but with reserv… Continue
It's a well known fact that only good looking people go to space. Even the comedic relief, the bumbling "fat" guy, is still slim by most standards. Welcome to the international spaceship Antares, the centerpiece for the sadly departed ABC series "Defying Gravity", where hotti… Continue
As The League of Extremely Ordinary Gentlemen steadily grow drunker, Beau, Harris, and Grant discuss upcoming comic to film adaptations including Iron Man 2, Captain America, Thor, Conan The Barbarian, and Deadpool. Continue
I realize that at this point of time, the label ‘Produced by McG’ is a dubious one. The embarrassingly titled one appears to have little actually to do with this very entertaining spy comedy series other than having directed the first sea… Continue
SPACEBALLS - THE TOTALLY WARPED ADVENTURES ANIMATED “What?” you exclaim, “No one told me about a Spaceballs animated series. Why I...probably wouldn’t watch it anyway.” And that would be a wise and discerning decision on your part. While the TV series was originally sup… Continue
Kristin got into a car accident. We were all concerned about her ranting and raving afterward, thinking that perhaps she had banged her head on something. When she calmed down enough to enunciate, this was the story we got. All I can say is, there better be a very special Felicia Day epis… Continue
Some of the rest of the League of Extremely Ordinary Gentlemen heard your cries. "Only a 90 minute LEOG? But 'Let's Do This' is seventeen hours!" or "Oh noes, a cliffhanger!" You've still got to wait until Friday for the second half of the podcast but to keep your LEOG tootsies warm, the g… Continue
Time can be an elusive thing in this DVD reviewing game. Even though the theatrical picks are sporadic at best in January, I’m being besieged with discs to watch at home and, as you may have guessed, has cut into my time for doing the rest of my top list of the year. So, in a concession to those of you who don’t want to keep reading this through April, let’s just go straight through my final top three films of the year....

GOLIATH
I really wish I had better things to say about this film. Made in Austin, Texas by local filmmaking brothers David and Nathan Zellner,the film focuses on a man obsessing over finding his missing cat, it sounds like the sort of thing I’d normally fall madly in love with. O… Continue
I'm sure it'll come as no surprise that I'm a bit of an old school exploitation horror fan. Not compared to some, who could sit through any old piece of low budget garbage, but probably more than most. I mean, hell, I grew up on a diet of Tom Baker's Dr Who when the BBC was for all extents and purposes a public access station in ter… Continue
Break time over. Back to listing.
Now that we’ve crossed that barrier into the top five, we’re going to get into some of those films that most of the people I know have either put on their own top ten lists, or have declared are the worst movies of all time...okay, not so much people I know as people I read on my Twitter, but either way, there are gonna be a few here that some folks are gonna get mad-full-on-retarded about and that… Continue
While I’ll fully admit that there are some out-and-out sweet, hearts worn firmly on their sleeves, romantic comedies that make me feel all warm and squishy inside, in general I require something a bit off the beaten path in that genre to keep me interested. The Hollywood ‘ideal’ of romance is one that only works for me these days if A: People are singing the whole time or B: It was made before 1975. Movies that try to express old fashioned dreamy love stories today come across to me as di… Continue
So I was a big kid this year. Or at least, it might seem that way if you hadn’t watched all the more serious films of the year and realized how weak most of them were. It really was the year where animation and genre fired on all cylinders but dramatic Oscar-push films were all but universally weak. Which, of course, makes for a much more accessible top ten list. Who’s complaining? Not me.

THE GOODSWorth a look. A statement that sends mixed messages but one that rings true here nonetheless. No one is going to be putting the Neal B… Continue
Cyrus is back, more or less recovered, and living off of left-overs and the crumbly detritus at the bottom of cookie tins, all traces of chocolate chip or peanut butter confectioneries long having since become one with my being. In theory, the Wii Fit comes out from its dusty hiding spot under the TV stand, the salads become a dietary staple, and I actually get up off my ever-widening ass to take advantage of the yawning chasm of dead zone about to begin. It's the beginning of a long stre… Continue
