I don't know how many of you have played around on Chatroulette or know much about it. Essentially, it's what it sounds like. You log in with your webcam and you are randomly assigned to other users on the site. It's roulette. You have no idea who you're going to get. Mostly it's a bunch ...

Do all large cities have a movie themed diner that shows film screenings while serving diner food? Well, DC has one. I actually think we have two. I could easily research this with a Google search, but I'm not going to. You're on your own for that. Last night I went to one of these diners ...

I've been reading about AMC's upcoming series The Walking Dead since Comic Con. Obviously zombies are pretty popular right now. Everyone loves them, so it's not a big surprise to see a series about zombies. An AMC series about zombies is as surprised as I get. Yesterday, AMC released the first trailer for the series ...

The Expendables Review: Where the Hell was Carl Weathers?

August 17, 2010

Like most young men my age, yes I said young, I’m still kind of young, grew up on the action films of the 80s and 90s.
