I love video games but I also like the interactivity of board games so I’m always interested in titles like Scene It? Bright Lights! Big Screen!.  The game was released earlier this week on Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 3. The movie trivia board game has been adapted for the video gaming format and features new puzzles and quizzes about some of the latest blockbusters and more.  It’s great because you don’t need to be a big movie buff to play it since you can play in groups and it’s great for players of all skill levels. Here are some product details from Amazon: All new movie clips from the from the latest Hollywood blockusters Over 2,800 questions and 23 challenging puzzle categories.

I know some media outlets are saying that the video for the new Jennifer Lopez song, “Fresh Out The Oven“ is hot but I think it’s just cheesy and lame.  Let’s just talk about the song for a minute, before I rip into this music video. First of all, after all this time, did she really think a title like “Fresh Out The Oven” was her best bet?  That is one of the lamest titles/lyrics I’ve ever heard.  If you can get past that, you have to deal with the rest of this bland track.  I know she’s working with Pitbull who has been really on fire lately but seriously?  This was the best they could do? Now, I’ve got to say that the video is super lame.  I’m getting older.  I’m imperfect... [Read more]

Best-selling horror author, Stephen King, has some experience when it comes to having his novels adapted into films or TV movies but he hasn’t teamed up with Steven Spielberg before (to the best of my knowledge). image: Amazon The pair will be working on a limited event series based on King’s Under The Dome under Dreamworks TV.   Of course, the plot unfolds in a small tourist trap of a town in Maine.  Some sort of force comes down on the area and the locals end up at war with each other. I’m not surprised at all that this all goes down in Maine.  Heck, Stephen King has scared me off the area so much that I have never been there and I used to live so close! Doesn’t this sound like Storm of the Century and about a million... [Read more]

Rihanna will be releasing her first album since being assaulted by former boyfriend, Chris Brown.  First of all, since she originally went back to him (and caused a public outcry), I’m just happy to see that she’s come to her senses and is actually speaking out against domestic violence now.  Now that I’ve gotten the niceties out of the way, I’ve got to say that there really aren’t any songs on her new Rated R album that I truly love (or even like for that matter).  I realize that she was probably going through a lot at the time but it’s stark and bare and just weird at times.  It’s definitely a new sound for her so maybe I just need to get used to it. Here’s the track listing: Mad House Wait Your Turn  Hard  Stupid... [Read more]

The newest instalment of Star Trek was released on DVD and Blu-ray this week and I immediately picked up a copy.  Being a huge Trekkie, I was really worried when they decided to go back and start the series from before Kirk was the captain of the Starship Enterprise. I was so pleasantly surprised by what J.J. Abrams did with the characters and storyline. image: Paramount Pictures Not everyone in my life shares my passion for Star Trek so I thought it was great that Abrams really found a balance between giving fans the sci-fi flick they needed while making it also an action-packed adventure.  The film struck a real balance and I think audiences responded favorably to it. In the movie, we meet Kirk, Spock, Chekov, Uhura and the rest of the... [Read more]
