Don’t Meet the Parents! ‘It’s a Wonderful Afterlife’ trailer!

Monkey 1 — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 04:11:06 +0000

A killer comedy from the director of Bend It Like Beckham. I loved that film so am truly looking forward to this one!

With a cast featuring the best of British comedy talent, It's A Wonderful Afterlife tells the story of a British-Asian mother whose obsession with marrying off her daughter has hilarious results.

As each potential suitor meets a sticky end, in a series of curry-themed murders, policemen Mark Addy (The Full Monty) and Sendhil Ramamurthy (Heroes)…

OK, so this ranks right up there on the "um, ok" meter. io9.com, that bastion of the odd, nerdy and interesting, brings us what is one of the more interesting stories about the weird things people are willing to pay for.

For $25, you could be hearing Isaac Asimov and Douglas Adams in a whole new way, if you happen to be in New York on March 5. The Pinchbottom Burlesque is organizing "Naked Girls Reading…

AC/DC fires up the Ironman 2 soundtrack

Monkey 1 — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 23:22:29 +0000

Just in case there aren't enough reasons to line up to see 'The Suit' again, check out this music vid/ trailer featuring one of the MOST UNDERRATED AC/DC songs ever - Shoot to Thrill. And in case there is any doubt, AC/DC are the undisputed raging Kings of 70's-rock-bands-that-still-kick-ass. Long live the Kings!

What makes this all the more goosebumpy (yeah, I said it) is the cut scenes from the movie. Now as any obsessed AC/DC…

I cannot even begin to comprehend this level of devastation but know that there must be something I can do. I have donated to our local Red Cross and Worldvision and encourage all our readers and visitors to do the same with the charity of your choice. Set your bullshit meters on high and look for only reputable charities as sadly, the bottom feeders always come out to take advantage of our desire to help

Now I've never been a fan of Conan O'Brien or the Late Night talk shows but you'd have to have been living under a rock not to sense his place in the late night pecking order. So it is with much ambivalence that I pass along the news that the poofy-haired O'Brien has decided to part company with The "Tonight Show"

The "Tonight Show" host says very clearly that he does not want to…

California Medical Board accuses fertility doctor of negligence in octuplets case

Monkey 1 — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 03:58:52 +0000

The California state licensing body said Monday that Beverly Hills fertility doctor Michael Kamrava acted beyond the reasonable judgment of a treating physician by repeatedly providing fertility treatment to a woman identified only by her initials "N.S" in the documents.

I consider this a victory for sanity in the face of shameless, moral-less marketing of reality drivel. God knows that as reality TV continues to impress with the depths it is willing to seek out, we…

‘Avatar’ Movie Review – Good, Bad and Indifferent (Spoiler Alert!!)

Monkey 1 — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 17:07:54 +0000

Beware, gentle reader. I talk about the movie here so if you don't want to have the plotline ruined, go see the movie then come back and share your thoughts.

So I rushed out and saw Avatar last night. I caught the very first showing at our local theater and was a little surprised that it wasn't sold out considering the attention leading up to opening night! That said, we got our tickets, were gouged at…
