Look we all know that women and action movies are like men and romance comedies right? You know, it makes me wonder why they don’t have a name like “chick flicks” for movies where everything explodes. While I know that there are a number of women out there who can appreciate a good ass kicking movie, excuse my generalizing as I talk about the majority that can’t. At a glance most women aren’t into action movies, the girls I know tip towards drama and love. There is a reason why many of the action movies that we watch have a stupid romance angle forced into it; the writers are assuming that it will keep our women interested. Then you have newer action movies with hot female leads to influence girl power… but it doesn’t garner female attention; here’s a hint – It’s for us guys! So Hollywood has made it even harder to convince a girl… [Read more]

Question: How much time do you spend in front of a computer these days my dear denizens? I would wager that you, like myself spend about 70% of your time staring into the one-eyed monster (2-eyed for you dual screen IT nerds) all day. When you think about this please factor in smart phones, tablets and that family of pocket-PC too. Scary isn’t it? I thought about it the other day and I spend about 90% of my life in front of a computer of some sort. While I don’t feel obligated to using a computer, I do willingly find one to do the things I love throughout the day. I wake up and check my email, drive in to the day job to stare at dual monitors for 8 hrs, stare at my Blackberry when riding to lunch and then go home to stare at another screen for movies, shows, my business and video… [Read more]

For as many movies that I watch, the hardest genre for me to take seriously is the Romantic Comedy. Mix one part Jennifer Anniston, add a dash of Hugh Grant with a sprinkling of Katherine Heigl (the bootleg Anniston) and you have one big ball of sappy, predictable nonsense that is only separated by the unique title. So what’s a man to do when his lady only chooses to watch this nonsense? Well you get yourself a solid list of tolerable movies and let her have a night where you can suggest one that you would actually sit through. Trust me Titanic and The Notebook are not on my list as both made me roll my eyes so hard that I had a massive headache by the time they ended. If you really have to see a chick-flick, the following is a list of good ones that truly don’t suck. The following descriptions are taken… [Read more]

If you’re a man that loves women and you have a pulse, you need to go ahead and set your calendar for September 22nd. Why? Well it’s when all sorts of hawte will be on ABC shooting up the screen and fogging up your glasses. No this isn’t a bait and switch but being that it’s ABC we had better show up en masse to make sure that this show stays on the air or it won’t see 5 episodes, trust me! What show? Charlie’s Angels, thats what show – this time a little less 70′s era Lily white with the inclusion of the beautiful Annie Ilonzeh as Kate. That’s if you like sweet milk chocolate, for the boys craving some bright-haired Aussie sunshine you can check out Rachael Taylor as Abby Sampson (she played the hot blonde nerd on Transformers 2), and for the rest of you that don’t fear Derek Jeter’s killer swing,… [Read more]

“You see this man? His name is One Stab. He’s a venerated elder of the Cree nation. He’s counted coup on hundreds of his enemies. He’s our friend and he’s thirsty” – Tristan Ludlow If you’re a man and you haven’t seen Legends of The Fall, then you need to go ahead and fix that. Legends of The Fall on the surface is a love story that many of you will write off wrongly as a chick flick due to it not having AK-47 and Assault Rifles but trust me, it is a movie for the boys. We nominated Legends of the Fall as a manly movie because of 3 things: the story – which is about the strength in brotherhood / Family, the indomitable human spirit (Tristan) and finally the Native American warrior known as One Stab (Gordon Tootoosis). The movie details the events of a family led by Colonel William Ludlow (Anthony Hopkins), a… [Read more]
