So I was catching up on Mad Men (highly recommended) and I could not figure out for the life of me which actress played the character Lois, the nervous switchboard operator who was promoted to secretary and then demoted again. At first I thought it was Anna Friel from the wonderful TV show Pushing Daisies. [...]

I made this sauce tonight and served it over steak, and it was awesome. The best part about it is that you don’t need a pot or a pan, just a blender and a dream. Enjoy!

I know I’ve been writing a lot of “___ is a ripoff of ___” articles, but sometimes it’s warranted. Take, for example, the new cheesy-looking horror movie Orphan, which is about a creepy kid going to live with a family and then terrorizing them and others, because they’re evvviiiiillll.

As a former film student, I see a lot of potential in competitive filmmaking as a reality TV subject. I know Project Greenlight made some waves at the beginning of this whole reality era, but my idea is much better. Here’s what I envision: ten or twelve aspiring filmmakers are put into teams, a la [...]

I get really peeved whenever I see a TV talk show discussing the reasons men sometimes don’t want to get married, because they always say the same things and never offer any solutions. I believe it was Dr. Phil the other day who was saying that the number one reason men don’t get married is [...]
