Public Disservice Announcement: Your Mom Lied
You can't really be an astronaut.
Though mothers and fathers mean well, take with a grain of salt the advice from anyone who raised you from your diaper days. You can't actually be anything you want to be, nor can you do anything you want to do if you put your mind to it. Sure, you're a competent person, but that doesn't make the impossible possible. Watch the video for more. You're welcome.

Movie Review - 2012
Lenny Bruce is not afraid
» Read the rest of this article.
Director Roland Emmerich has become this generations Irwin Allen. Where Emmerich has given us Independence Day, Godzilla and The Day After Tomorrow, Allen gave us The Towering Inferno, Flood! and Fire!. (If only he had made Fire! first…the Flood! could have put it out.) Emmerich has made a cottage industry out of destroying cities and countries. In his latest “epic”, he raises the stakes by giving us what amounts to a planetary snuff film. The Mayan calendar has predicted that the world will end in the year 2012. As the film opens, those predictions appear to be coming true as the Earth’s core is heating up while the Sun is throwing off high amounts of radiation. If there’s a greater reason than that, I couldn’t make it out amongst all the pseudo-scientific gibberish. But who are we kidding? A movie like 2012 is more akin to an “adult film”. We’re not here for the story, just get to the money shot.

Movie Review - An Education
How do you solve a problem like Lolita
» Read the rest of this article.
Set in 1961 England, Jenny (Carey Mulligan) is 16-year old sailing through a high priced boarding school with ease. Singularly focused on her studies, she is on pace on to be accepted to Oxford when she meets a boy. Well, a boy wouldn’t be so much of a problem. Jenny meets a man named David (Peter Sarsgaard). David is in his early 30s, wealthy and particularly suave. An Education tells the story of their courtship. Jenny is immediately taken with David as he whisks her into his world of erudite intelligentsia. He takes to her to cool jazz clubs, classical music concerts and privileged art auctions. She’s as besotted with his lifestyle as she is with him, though she’s too young to make the distinction. Mistaking his money and age for sophistication, she lacks the confidence to see that she’s infinitely more cultivated than his crowd.

Movie Review - Pirate Radio
Rock Out With Your Dock Out
» Read the rest of this article.Pirate Radio opens by telling us that, “In 1966 the British government banned rock 'n' roll on the radio. Until one American deejay and a band of renegades launched a radio station on the high seas and raided the air waves." That is, as the British would say, “bollocks.” Were their illegal radio stations off the coast of England in the ‘60s? Yes. Did the British government ban rock and/or roll? Umm…no. If you’re looking for a historically accurate depiction of the era, you will be sorely disappointed. However, you might find the film more amenable if you’re looking for a rollicking, British sex romp with one hell of a soundtrack.
