Be Amused. Be Very Amused. <em>You're Next</em>, Reviewed.
1. You're Next is officially a horror movie—it is sold the way all horror movies are sold these days, with an ominous poster image and an appealingly simple, self-sustaining premise—but it's really a comedy. It is a comedy in the way Army of Darkness is a comedy, or The Cabin in the Woods is a comed...

Wasn't It Nice To See Everyone? <em>The World's End</em>, Reviewed.
As funny and kinetic as his films have been, director Edgar Wright has never topped Shaun of the Dead, which is his only movie as emotionally and thematically engaging as it is intensely watchable. In that terrific horror-comedy, some pals (led by Shaun, played by co-writer Simon Pegg) battled a gr...

Does Not Compute. <em>Jobs</em>, Reviewed.
If Steve Jobs had made movies, Jobs is the kind of thing he might have done: It aspires to be innovative while it strives to be accessible and user-friendly. Focusing on a crucial period of Jobs's life rather than offering the standard cradle-to-grave portrait, this tries to be a somewhat unconventi...

Living The #HartfordLife: A Tribute To Fired ESPNer Hugh Douglas
After he was hired by ESPN to be a studio analyst, former Philadelphia Eagle Hugh Douglas moved to Hartford, Conn., to be closer to ESPN's Bristol compound. Moving from Philadelphia to Hartford was a bit of a culture shock for Douglas, and he used his Twitter account to constantly update his followe...

History As Pop As Camp: <em>The Butler</em>, Reviewed.
1. Lee Daniels is a total lunatic of a director, a man who knows nothing of restraint, decorum or moderation. Sometimes this works for him; his Precious was lurid and garish and melodramatic in a way that fit the material, making the protagonist's sufferings feel both pulpy and weirdly real. Mostly,...

The Cinderella Man
From the cool-ass site—of two cool-ass books—please enjoy Damon Runyon's 1935 column, "The Cinderella Man":...

Timberwolves Make Empty D-League Threat To Shabazz Muhammad
Timberwolves general manager Flip Saunders is not pleased with rookie Shabazz Muhammad's career to this point, leading him to make one of the emptier threats in the NBA: If you don't shape up, we'll send you to THE D-LEAGUE....

This 12-Year-Old Little Leaguer Is Roughly The Size Of Kevin Youkilis
Meet Chad Lorkowski. Although this boy looks old enough to comfortably buy cigarettes without being carded, he is 12 years old. Yes. Seriously....

Let's Watch Dwight Howard Grind With An Old Lady
Consider this a sequel of sorts to Let's Watch Charles Barkley Grind With A Middle-Aged Lady. Dwight Howard is still hanging out in Aspen, Colo., and last night he appears to have happened upon a rocking dance party at the local senior center. Shit got a little weird. ...

Subtle As A Boomsaw: <em>Elysium,</em> Reviewed.
1. Elysium, like writer-director Neill Blomkamp's much-loved first film District 9, is very concerned with making you understand that it is about something. I wasn't as big a fan of District 9 as most were—it felt like a great idea for a short film, which it was, stretched out to feature length—but ...

She's Listening To Music
I remember walking into The Sound Library, a boutique record shop in the east village in the late Nineties and hearing something special. It was a short cut off a white label Lord Finesse promo. Rare. Finesse chopped-up and looped a famous Marvin Gaye record on an SP-1200. Man, it was cool. I eventu...

Trouble Is My Business
“Any man who can write a page of living prose adds something to our life, and the man who can, as I can, is surely the last to resent someone who can do it even better. An artist cannot deny art, nor would he want to. A lover cannot deny love.”...
