Trailer for HBO’s “The Pacific”

I am of the opinion that ‘Band of Brothers’ is one of the best things ever produced for television. I was happy to hear that Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg were creating a new miniseries for HBO once again set in WWII this time chronicling the war in the Pacific. I think I might have […]

Land of the Lost

So, this summer has already seen one remake of an older series with slightly cheesy effects. We all remember how that turned out? Well, did Land of the Lost turn out as well? Ah, well that might be a bit of a debate for some. Dr. Rick Marshall is a scientist who has been laughed […]

The Hangover

hang⋅o⋅ver 1. the disagreeable physical aftereffects of drunkenness, such as a headache or stomach disorder, usually felt several hours after cessation of drinking. Well, here’s the good news.
