Ben Review’s: The Dark Knight (Spoiler Alert)

Editors Note: There are some spoilers ahead, so reader beware! I generally enjoy playing the Devil’s advocate, but more so against the cynical fanboys. The new Indiana Jones is an example. People have been pissing and moaning about that movie for so long now, it’s just getting irritating. Me? Well I will go fanboy taboo …

Hayden Panettiere Tards Things Up

Hayden Panettiere may have written the most asinine song since, well, I want to say ever. Her song “Wake Up Call” sounds more or less (think “more”) like throwing up down a garbage disposal to a reggae beat. She could have taken a giant hose and sprayed cat feces on us and I would have …

John Woo to adapt “Caliber”
