The Russian Giant
HBO sent me an e-mail this afternoon promoting their upcoming programs. One thing stood out to me. It’s a boxing match. Nikolai “The Russian Giant” Valuev is fighting Monte “Two Gunz” Barrett Saturday October 7th on HBO HD. “Who in the hell is the Russian Giant?” is something you may be wondering. Well, click on this. That’s who the Russian...

Fred Willard on Ebert and Roeper
I’m having a hard time getting to sleep tonight, so I watched the Ebert and Roeper that had dvr’ed earlier tonight. Since Roger Ebert has been away from the show with health problems, they’ve had guest reviewers filling his seat. Tonight’s guest was Fred Willard, best known for his roles in the Christopher Guest mockumentaries. The guy was hilarious. If...

Labor Day Weekend Movies - Crank & The Wicker Man
I caught a couple of flicks over the weekend. Crank - Jason Statham is actually really good/funny in what amounts to an updated version of DOA. It has a crazy fast pace and twisted sense of humor, not to mention quite a few “What the f**k?!! I can’t believe that was in this movie” moments. If you miss the...
