Remember in grade school when you’d have arguments with your friends about your favorite warrior?

Well, Spike took that idea and turned it into a tv show.  The show pits two warriors and based on scientific weapon testings , we see the victor.  I love this show but there’s some flawed logic to the show’s  scientific tests. The warriors strategy and tactics aren’t put into play and this is my biggest gripe.  For example, the Spartans were kickass because they worked as one cohesive unit but in the show,  the spartan is fighting by himself.  This gives his opponent, a ninja, …

For some time, Hulu has hinted at possible subscription plans, but have never followed through. At least until now. There is speculation that Microsoft plans to unveil Hulu support for Xbox LIVE. That means the Xbox 360, not the iPad, will be the first to utilize the subscription-based pay version of the streaming TV/movie service.

Now if these rumors are true, it will bring up a few questions. What prices are they looking to charge for …

I will review the book once I finish. Based on the characters from the TV show, it seems like they are tightly sticking to the original story.

A promising sign for this series is that Frank Darabont is the writer, producer, and director of the …

The star of 70’s sitcom Diff’rent Strokes; Gary Coleman passed away at age 42 from a brain hemorrhage caused from a fall.

I remember Gary Coleman very well growing up, I loved Diff’rent Strokes, it was one of those shows that was well-written and very funny. The acting from the mostly young group was exceptional as far as I’m concerned (especially compared to the duds of today).

Gary Coleman made an appearance on the pilot of Diff’rent Strokes spin-off “The Facts of Life” which featured his characters “sister” played by Dana Plato and starred Charlotte Rae whom was the house keeper …

Last time I talked to sculptor Jim McPherson, we discussed his work on the Black and White Batman Statue.  Today, we talked about his role in creating Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland:

Last night concluded the 6 year run of the television series LOST.  The 2 hour finale would lay to rest many questions and would ultimately bring up some new ones.  People will be talking about this episode for weeks and giving their theories on what happened but truly I could not care less because the big end of the world conflict wasn’t what really mattered but the development of the characters and watching their journey to this point.  I believe the creators knew that this has been their key point in the success of the show and is what ultimately helped …
