Mark your calendars, dishevel your hair, press your clothes, pack your bags, and get all your housekeeping business and Christmas shopping done now, because the year 2012 has saved what may be its best film for last, with the release of Peter Jackson’s long-awaited return to everyone’s favorite countryside, Middle Earth – The Hobbit: An […]
The graphics are great; the combat is more fluid than the previous installments and considerably more difficult; the atmosphere of the American Revolution is a refreshing break from the over-urban; getting from one point of a forest to another by tree is fun; the naval missions are a blast, and we finally get some […]
For those who don’t know, the American Presidential Election will be decided by only a few key states. Most states (and most people for that matter) have already made up their minds as to who they’re voting for and it’s just a question of turnout. In America, winning the popular vote isn’t enough by itself […]
States like Colorado, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Florida that will play an essential role in deciding the future of the nation on Tuesday should be aware of the potentially inevitable consequences of their vote on the basis of the issue of health insurance.

Roger Ebert gave it a perfect score and MovieBob has proclaimed its success as a product to be nothing short of miraculous. Now that I have seen the film […]
Thanks to a torrential maelstrom of jokes on Twitter persisting all throughout the next day, far too many people only remember Romney’s “binders full of women” hiring comment following Tuesday night’s highly contentious debate. Unfortunately, what has seemingly gone unseen is one of President Obama’s most economically ignorant, logically fallacious, and intellectually offensive remarks he […]
Miracle of Sound is the stage name of an impeccably talented musician in Cork, Ireland by the name of Gavin Dunne who composes and assembles original pieces that pay tribute to videogames and other mediums of nerd culture.

Let me start out by saying that Looper is not what you think. It is indeed as the critics have been calling it, a very good movie.
