Mike Shanahan Dropped like a Saigon Whore

As though there was not enough drama in the NFL this season, we have even juicier news than Plaxico Burress shooting himself in the foot, Tom Brady being out for the season, the Dallas Cowboys not making the playoffs and Brett Favre being “forced” out of Green Bay. Mike Shanahan with his Team Long-time Denver Broncos head coach and most recently executive VP of football operations, Mike Shanahan was fired Tuesday. Shanahan was dropped two days after the last day of the regular season, where his Broncos lost a decisive game to division rival, San Diego Chargers. After going 8-5, the... [Read more of this review]

UFC 92: The Ultimate 2008

UFC 92: The Ultimate 2008 UFC 92 is one of the biggest cards I’ve seen in recent memory, if not the biggest. The three fights I will go over could each easily anchor any card as the main event, and there were no disappointments, but plenty of upsets. This was the sort of event that really confuses me when I hear people are still fans of boxing, because the UFC is so much more exciting than boxing. Where UFC has really excelled and boxing has decisively slowed down is the fact that there are MMA fighters that are becoming household names, while the average person couldn’t name two... [Read more of this review]

Unstoppable Boston Celtics visit Los Angeles Lakers

This will be the first of two games between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, for a repeat of their showdown in last seasons finals, where the Celtics mopped the floor the with the Lakers. Celtics are on an absolute tear this season, with the best start in NBA history at 27-2, and this game will really be a test of how each team stacks up this season. Celtics are looking for their 20th win in a row against an offensively-charged Lakers team, that is 23-5 overall, and 14-1 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. To start the game, Paul Pierce, of the Celtics, and Kobe Bryant, of the Lakers,... [Read more of this review]

Visiting Los Angeles Kings Shutout Columbus Blue Jackets

Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Kings entered Nationwide Arena coming off of two road loses, with a record of 13-14-6, while the Columbus Blue Jackets, with a record of 14-15-4, have won their last five home games. During their last meeting, earlier this month at Staples Center, the Kings shutout the Blue Jackets 3-0, and they were poised to let history repeat itself. Blue Jackets unfortunately have to play the rest of the season without their rookie phenom, Derick Brassard, after he dislocated his shoulder last week during a fight with fellow rookie James Neal of the Dallas Stars. Both teams... [Read more of this review]

It is Written: Slumdog Millionaire is Amazing

British director, Danny Boyle, delivers another heart-touching, emotional film with Slumdog Millionaire. You may remember his film last year, Sunshine, about a team of astronauts who need to re-ignite the sun (sounds far-fetched, but it was well made, and the acting was fantastic). Slumdog takes place in Mumbai, India - which you may recall was unfortunately in the news in late November due to the terrorist / hostage situation in three of their major hotels - telling the tale of how two young brothers from the slums (hence “slumdogs”) “made” it, in their separate ways.... [Read more of this review]

Frost/Nixon Comes up Short

Frost/Nixon is the latest film in the illustrious career of actor / director Ron Howard. Howard is slowly moving his way top the elite directors in Hollywood, but I really think he could have done more with such a powerful story. In my mind, this was an Oscar contender for picture of the year, but the film only showed flashes of brilliance that was not sustained throughout. Frost/Nixon Film Poster Frost/Nixon is a retelling of the true story behind a series of television interviews between David Frost (played by Michael Sheen) and former US president Richard Nixon (played by Frank Langella).... [Read more of this review]

The Art of the Christmas Party

As I am sure most are aware, Christmas season (it’s not just one day, you know) is among us, which means so are Christmas parties. The beautiful thing about this time is that people are in giving moods, even with the current state of our economy, and really open their hearts. More importantly, they pick up the tab by way of an open bar. Truly, the beauty behind good Christmas parties can be summed up with the following: Pick a venue that won’t mind if you make a ruckus Stock the place with a boatload of comp’d liquor Have some kind of background entertainment (dinner, music,... [Read more of this review]

Metallica Live at the Great Western Forum - Inglewood, CA

So before I get into this little music review of mine, it will come with some meaty disclaimers. And they are: I’m not a metal fan I’d hardly call myself a Metallica fan Truth be told, I’m a borderline music fan in general Now that we have all that cleared up, I will continue. Heaven forbid you think that the following will be in any way thorough or authoritative. First, I will start with what I felt (note the above again), and then I will mention some of the things I heard from actual metal / Metallica fans thereafter. Redmanthatcould’s POV We went to see Metallica... [Read more of this review]

President Bush Avoids a Face Full of Leather

President Bush arrived in Baghdad on a surprise visit, and he got a lot more than he bargained for. Looks like Bush forgot that the rest of the world still hates him, because he looked relatively surprised when an Iraqi news reporter hurled his shoes at Bush during a press conference. If you thought Bush put away the coke, this video is clear proof he still goes skiing on the weekends - how else do you explain these reflexes? When I discussed this with Fierce Pussy, she thought the guy hit the deck to look for more shoes to throw. Kind of like a call to action to all those news correspondents... [Read more of this review]
