By Petra W.

Judging by the attendance in the movie theater on Friday night, the 14-30-something ‘Twilight’ fans are getting their R-Patz fix from ‘Remember Me’, considering that approximately 95% of the audience was female between the ages of 14 and 40 and the remaining 5% (including my husband) were their male counterparts, dragged along for “date...

Movie Review: Zombieland

October 30, 2009
By pop culture news

Oi, I just watched Zombieland and I’m pleased to say I didn’t spend any money on it as I would have felt it wasted on the talented actors who made a boring zombie flick. Making zombie movies is like being in a punk band: unless you’re cross-genre, there’s nothing you are going...

By pop culture news

SPOILERS WITHIN.. From the makers of Terminator 3 comes a film portraying a somewhat believable future where the average human being interacts with the rest of the world behind the veil of robot clones.  A concept resembling that of today’s internet identities, the chilling similarity to the growing trend of spending hours on end behind...
