The Lost series finale took place last night, and I suppose it’s only appropriate that I join the millions of other Internet geeks who are weighing in with their opinions today. It’s been a long journey to get to this point, and now we have to face life without our old pals Jack, Kate, Sawyer, […]
This list of 15 things to do in downtown Hollywood was inspired by my recent trip to Los Angeles for the Turner Classic Movies Film Festival. Hollywood is filled with all manner of sights and sounds, and tourists can often overlook some of the more interesting sites in all the chaos. I’ve tried to narrow […]
The 2010 MTV Movie Awards will be taking place in Los Angeles on Sunday, June 6th. This is the event’s 19th year, and a whole host of stars will be vying for the coveted award in the shape of a bucket of popcorn. You can expect a number of recent films to be parodied, and […]

While these possibilities never materialized in our world, they did occur in some alternate universe where up is down and down is […]

I’ve also included a number of factoids–enough to constitute a mini actor biography on the (formerly) pony-tailed one. Whether he’s breaking forearms or rockin’ out with his […]
The top Hollywood curses spark our imagination and provide all kinds of fodder for the tabloids. Whether we’re talking cursed roles, doomed productions, or even an unlucky family, a number of Hollywood curses have become the stuff of legends. In the following post, I’ve listed a few of the most popular curses to strike down […]
