This review requires a little bit of background. When How to Train Your Dragon came to theaters, I missed it. It wasn’t intentional – we did run a review by Nicole and I fully intended to see it in theaters after her high praise. As is usual, my schedule got out of hand and I missed it in theaters so I figured I would catch it when it came out on DVD and write up a DVD review of the movie.... 

To paraphrase Stephen King, “I have seen the future of Comedy, and her name is Kristen Wiig.” In a few short months, everyone will know the name Kristen Wiig. Sure, you may recognize her or remember her from Saturday Night Live or from one of a slew of supporting roles (Knocked Up, Adventureland, MacGruber, Paul) – but her name isn’t likely on the tip of your tongue. Be patient, it will... 

A long time ago, in a comic book convention far, far away…after attending the San Diego Comic Con, two British sci-fi fans, Graeme Willy (Simon Pegg) and Clive Gollings (Nick Frost) tour the southwest American landscape in a rented RV following a trail of alien-encounter hot spots: Black Mailbox, Area 51, Roswell.

Their newest offering, How to Train Your Dragon, was heavily hyped with a trailer during almost... 

Jeff’s Five and Dime is not your typical top-five list. Then again, what’s typical about Jeff? In this weekly column Jeff will bring you a top-five list meant to amuse and on the rare occasion, make you think. Ah, can you smell it? As we spring forward this weekend to allow the warm sun to keep its head above the mountains just a little bit longer than normal. I can smell it. Yes, summer is... 

Mike Judge, best known as the creator of Beavis & Butt-head and King of the Hill surprised audiences with his take on the workplace, Office Space. The movie didn’t do well in theaters, but now you’d be hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t know of the movie, the dialog, and the red stapler, especially if they work in an office. His follow up film was supposed to be Extract, but instead...
