“Urban Legend” Drinking Game

Urban Legend is one of the holy pillars of the movie drinking game phenomenon (?), and with Halloween around the corner, it’s time to add 7 Inches of booze to the proceedings. Coming two years after the zeitgeist-y Scream, Urban Legend is one of many numerous glorious 90’s knockoffs of Kevin Williamson’s meta take on … Get hard

Star-Studded Poe Adaptation “Stonehearst Asylum” Somehow Works Because Of Its Bajillion Twists

Over the first twenty minutes of Stonehearst Asylum, you slowly begin to dread watching the rest of the film, thanks to looking and feeling like your typical insane asylum movie. Jim Sturgess’ medical school graduate Edward Newgate has arrived at the mental institution to become an alienist, a Lovecraftian term … Get hard

Twisted New Zealand Home Invasion Horror Film “Housebound” Injects Fun Into Genre

Kylie Bucknell (Morgana O’Reilly) is a perpetually pissed off juvenile delinquent, except she’s closer to 30 than high school.

2014 Fall TV Power Rankings, Round 1

TV has become a year-round affair that’s nearly impossible to keep track of, with most of the best and our favorite shows airing anywhere but fall (Game of Thrones, Hannibal, Orphan Black, True Detective, Parks and Recreation).

Antonio Banderas & Company Break Laws of Robotics in Sci-Fi Snoozer “Automata”

It’s 2044 A.D. and 99% of the human population has perished from radiation. It’s a testament to how flawed, unfortunate and cliché this movie is that I feel bad for the surviving 1% of the world who had to weather this foggy, nonsensical I, Robot knockoff. The ROC Corporation (of … Get hard

Andy’s Creek or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love “Dawson’s Creek”

Note: As long as you avoid the song videos below, there really aren’t any Dawson’s Creek spoilers in the following. Dawson’s Creek is my favorite television show.

Bite-Size Binge: Lev Grossman’s “The Magicians” Trilogy

When The Magicians first came to me, it was a world post-Harry Potter. The last two movies had yet to come out, and I was clinging on to them like they were the last vestiges of my childhood. Because they were, along with Bandit, my stubbornly mortal border collie. Harry Potter was and … Get hard

“The Pagemaster” Drinking Game

For those who grew up in the 90’s, Macaulay Culkin was our childhood. I could care less about Ri$hie Rich, but he made me cry in My Girl, laugh in Uncle Buck, and want to be him in the Home Alone series. When I saw him at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood last year, I almost … Get hard

Bite-Size Binge: IFC’s “The Spoils of Babylon”

Oftentimes, when I find myself with an hour or two to kill, I scroll through Netflix, Hulu and various other online outlets, and am frozen with indecision, fraught with stress over what show I should watch next. Do I set aside my life for a few years and start Star Trek, … Get hard

“Space Jam” Drinking Game

If you’re not listening to the Space Jam Theme Song while reading this post (or every morning to get you ready for the day in a way only R. Kelly could), you’re not doing it right. You’re probably not living life correctly either, and probably a miserable person who lives … Get hard
