As The River returns with its fourth episode (of eight) titled “A Better Man,” it improves on its formula and character development but does little to move the plot of the series forward. The script this week examines weighty topics (for this type of show) like “who is really in charge,” “don’t leave a... 

So far Survivor: One World has been relatively boring this season. I know, I know, there’s only been one episode, but really, who stood out from that episode? Colton, who mostly stands out because he’s darn pathetic. Nobody else is interesting and we didn’t even see anyone voted out last week, as an injury... 

We’ve got another loaded weekend at the theater. You’d almost think we’re out of the winter doldrums and into the good stuff, with theaters following the seasonal lead started by the weather, which has been ridiculously moderate here (except for the single snowfall that made us miss a podcast this week).... 

When someone mentions MMORPGs, there’s a really good chance that World of Warcraft is the first thing that comes to mind. It’s easily the most popular, and it’s certainly the model that so many other games in the genre have tried to emulate. Let’s face it – World of Warcraft is an undisputed success, still... 

Most of you have probably already figured this out, but MMOs – especially MMORPGs – are not what the regular, non-gaming public thinks of when you mention video games. I remember my own opinions of WoW before I started playing, when it was just my son and (ex)husband who were the addicts; despite the fact that... 

Welcome to the new season of Celebrity Apprentice. For the first time in a while, it really feels like the producers have brought the “Celebrity” part to the show’s title. There’s a plethora of identifiable names unlike the past few seasons which have only had a couple of big names mixed in with lesser “celebrities.”... 

Part of looking at movies does involve the business side of show business. We try to have a little fun with it, as each week Tim makes his predictions as to how movies will perform at the Box Office. Then, on Sundays, we look at how Tim’s predictions fared. We didn’t get predictions from Tim this week, but... 

I know that The Vow is the movie with the biggest romantic draw right now, but that doesn’t make it any more appealing to me. Thankfully, my wife isn’t the type to be drawn to mawkish, empty, romantic stories either. Something like This Means War, which combines its rom-com tale with a few rounds of fun confrontation... 

Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage) returns to his fire trail blazing days as the Ghost Rider, a fire breathing entity that sucks the souls out of people with his powers that the Devil himself (Ciaran Hinds) bestowed upon him years ago. This time, Blaze has to save young Danny (Fergus Riordan) from having his body possessed... 

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is full of energy, attitude, and spectacle, and the inspired, insanity of Nicolas Cage. What the film does not have is plot, character development, or common sense. Adolescent and single minded, the movie invites critics and general audiences to scoff and disregard the film as trash....
