Fox News blogger Roger Friedman has nothing but praise for the new X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie. Unfortunately, the feeling is not mutual. Friedman reviewed an illegally downloaded workprint, even bragging that it was “so much easier than going out in the rain” (but then again what isn’t?). 20th Century Fox had no sympathy for the Fox employee and issued the following statement: “We’ve just been made aware that Roger Friedman,

On last night’s Countdown, Keith Olbermann attacked Newt Gingrich for criticizing President Barack Obama’s response to Kim Jong-il’s recent missile launch. Olbermann claimed Newt had no problem with the past “8 years of doing nothing about North Carolina” (video below). When Olbermann eventually corrected himself, he laughed it off as a “blooper.” That’s all well and good, except Olbermann is never as lenient on his victims. Forget the countless times

There’s no pussyfooting around it, Queen’s Blade is about one thing and one thing only: FANSERVICE. It’s based on a gamebook, you know those Choose Your Own Adventure books where you pick from a list of choices and turn to the corresponding page, so don’t expect a lot in the way of story. All you need to know is there’s a battle royal to decide the next Queen. The only

The only thing worse the a prequel is a remake. And while I hope Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is the exception, it ain’t looking good. Episode 1 reminds me of one of those compilation movies that splices together episodes (think Turn A Gundam). We’re hit over the head with things we  already know: Armstrong loves his muscles, Ed is sensitive about his height, Hughes loves his family, Ed & Al tried

Despite being announced on April Fools’ this game’s no joke. Plants vs. Zombies is just what it sounds like. Why did no one think of this sooner? Two brainless creatures that rise from dirt – they were bound to have a showdown! As if this game wasn’t already gonna be a cult classic, there’s an insanely catchy music video (English & Japanese version below). No specifics have been released yet

You know the economy is bad when Americans cut back on food. At least nine states have started auctioning off groceries. The savings can be over 50% but the food isn’t exactly the cream of the crop. They’re mostly leftovers that are either damaged or over expiration. A little fungus doesn’t bother Linda Dennis, “winner” of a bag of frozen pizza bites (exp. Feb 9). Linda swears by the auctions,

As if there weren’t enough reasons to hate cops (racial profiling, police brutality, donut shortages), add greed to that list. New Jersey Policemen’s “Benevolent” Association is suing to stop furloughs. Gov. Corzine says the temporary layoffs (14 days) are necessary and will save $35 billion & 7,000 jobs. But PBA President Anthony Wieners argues, “Merely declaring an emergency and proving that one exists are two different things.” And you thought

Some economists think the recession could be over in months, but the government isn’t counting on it. In anticipation of mass suicides, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has launched a new website for “Getting Through Tough Economic Times” (samhsa.gov/economy). “The guide is a quick and easy tool that people can use to better manage their emotional well-being. By helping people remain resilient, we can help promote
