Come to the historic Million Dollar Theatre in downtown LA for a 2:30 p.m. screening of Houdini. Magician Curtis Lovell II will be attempting Houdini's famous water torture stunt, and Tony Curtis will be there to put the handcuffs on him. Have dinner at the Los Angeles Athletic Club with Tony...

I caught this at West L.A.'s NuArt theater yesterday. Apparently Bruce Campbell has been traveling around the country with a print, and speaking after the evening shows. If you've ever seen Bruce live, you know what a blast that can be. If you're a fan of The Chin, I recommend that you see...

Since the gas thread has attracted immense interest, I thought I'd start one on a related subject: Peak Oil. The basic tenets of Peak Oil are pretty simple. Being a finite substance, sooner or later production of oil will reach a peak, after which supply will never satisfy demand. The...

Saw an advance screening today. I can't say I know the material well, only having seen a video of the stage show back in the 80s (I think it was). And I didn't really expect much of it. While I thought Depp's voice was fine, the songs didn't really grab me. The production is gorgeous however.

"A minor nitpick: There are close-up scenes where they airbrushed the hell out of Milla Jovovich's face for no good reason..." They did something similar in Ultraviolet, and it was annoying.

This poster is the Star Child "ultimate trip" 1 sheet for the 1971 rerelease. It measures 27 x 41 inches. The poster is folded, with some pin holes along the borders; otherwise it is in excellent condition. It has not been displayed since I purchased it in 1976, so the image is nice and...

"Ulitmately, the film sags at the conclusion because Bourne's reason(s) for volunteering are not explored. What is it in his backstory that led him to the decision to forget himself? Fertile territory that is never tilled. The film ends with a resolution that has no impact because of it. Bourne...

I've been looking at sites featuring Blackjack rules and I'm still puzzled about one thing: what happens if the player busts, then the dealer busts? I'm assuming that if the player busts, the house doesn't automatically win and the dealer still has to play his hand. My guess is that if he...

I bought a V, Inc. Bravo D2 a few months ago, and the player has been acting strange. Today, when I pushed the button on the remote to turn the machine off, the tray started sliding out, then in, over and over again and wouldn't stop. During movies, I've had the video and audio go out of sync...

I saw this as a kid in the 60s at a drive-in double feature with The Guns of Navarone. It's a live action movie featuring animals as all the characters. All I really remember is that it was about a group of friends, a dog, a rabbit, a duck and maybe another animal. A bad guy in a castle...
