It first came to me on SyFy Blaster: That Jerk who raged at you on the road today was probably a gamer. Fox News trumpeted, “Study Says Video Gamers Make Dangerous Drivers.” MSNBC came up with, “No, Driving Games do not Make you Better Drivers.” I was intrigued, and so I ferreted out the original press release at Continental […] -

Harold S: Thanks for your kind remarks. We had a good time this go around. I don’t know what time it was when we were singing…I know I did am original kid’s song called, Grandma is a Pirate, and then at some point after a lot of really good music about romance in outerspace, we […]

“Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.” — Henry Van Dyke Official Review GAFilk 2011 was less well attended than my last visit, two years ago, mostly reflective of the current economy. That said, there was no lack of enthusiasm visible to our “posse”. […] -

And then again, “sometimes a cigar is just a cigar” (attributed to Sigmund Freud).
Let’s all say together: “It’s only a movie.” Lather, rinse, repeat. -

Sounds like Andromeda Strain combined with the old zombie shtick, updated with gadgets. I’d be curious to know why you didn’t like the end…I haven’t read it. Does it end like so many others of its kind? Does it end with a Twilight Zone “Eye of the Beholder” style twist? Would it make a good […]

Bear McCreary , one of my favorite sci-fi composers, already has a career that’s intergalactic (sorry, I couldn’t resist). He’s been a busy guy. You may remember him from the Eureka Season 2 Soundtrack , or his Battlestar Galactica soundtrack and symphony . Now he’s receiving an earthbound nomination as well… !–more–Bear’s been nominated…[Read more] -

Note: No real spoilers contained As a person of mixed racial descent, I have this to say: Don’t let ignorant race baiting prevent you from going to see The Last Airbender or overshadow your enjoyment of the film. It’s a magical fable of balance and imbalance, harmony and disharmony, action and consequence, power and loss, innocence and…[Read more] -

Unlike many movie soundtracks, James Newton Howard’s, The Last Airbender soundtrack stands alone. Just because the guy has scored a few films (well, a few more than 100, and all of M. Night Shyamalan’s films ), has a few Oscar nominations (okay, he has eight of them), is classically trained as well as pop & rock n’ roll credentialed…well […]
