Doctor Who - Craig Ferguson

The Doctor Who musical opening from The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson finally aired on last night's episode, where host Craig Ferguson interviewed Doctor Who star Alex Kingston.

Watch the video here below of the Ferguson explaining why the musical couldn't air as schedule last month, along with the musical itself (which is awesome!). Also embedded below is the interview with Kingston, who plays River Song in the Doctor Who television series.

Back in early December, a video leaked online of Craig Ferguson's Doctor Who musical cold open, which was supposed to air on the episode of the late night talk show that Matt Smith appeared on [Read Craig Ferguson's 'Doctor Who' Musical Intro Leaks Online]. Because Ferguson's crew couldn't get the Doctor Who music cleared in time for the episode, they had to air the show without the musical, much to the dismay of fans [...]

Movie Review: 127 Hours

Posted: 07 Jan 2011 02:11 PM PST

127 Hours
Directed by Danny Boyle
Starring James Franco, Kate Mara, Amber Tamblyn, Clémence Poésy
Pathe Distribution
Release date: January 5, 2011 (UK)

Variety is the spice of life. With that in mind, director Danny Boyle decided to follow up his nicey-nicey, award-hogging sparkly dance-fest Slumdog Millionaire with a true story about a trapped canyoneer who is forced to cut off his own hand to save his life. Danny Boyle didn't spice up his life, he destroyed the recipe.

127 Hours tells the real-life story of Aron Ralston, a prolific climber. Ralston's story is a famous one: in 2003 he fell while climbing Blue John Canyon in Utah and landed at the bottom of a claustrophobic ridge. He dislodged a boulder which tumbled with him, crushing his right hand against the ridge wall. The boulder was too heavy to move let alone lift, and being a little arrogant he made the disastrous decision not to tell anyone where he was going. He desperately tries everything to escape: pushing and pulling at the rock every which way, chipping away at the rock with his multi tool, rigging a pulley system to try and heave the rock upwards, but nothing works. After six days he was forced to make a decision: stay and die, or cut off his hand and escape. As if that wasn't hard enough, all he had to do it with was a cheap multi-tool with a small, blunt knife [...]
