The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Watch Now: ‘Gears of War 3′ World Premiere Trailer

Posted: 30 May 2011 11:28 AM PDT

Gears of War 3

This trailer is the best minute I ever spent. Gears of War 3 gameplay footage, all to the sounds of Ozzy singing "War Pigs." I wish it was more than a minute long. The game seriously looks Epic (pun intended). There are guys exploding from underground, giant monsters, tiny monsters, and all-out intense fighting. There also looks like their could be some vehicle driving in this here game.

We also get a clue at the story line, it picks up with what was hinted at the end of Gears 2. Marcus' father is alive, and now, you must rescue him.

Gears of War 3 will be released on September 20, 2011.

Enough listening to me, spend a minute and listen to some Ozzy, you can't watch this only once! [...]

Having stumbled upon the mansion's hidden basement, Sally starts hearing voices calling out from the bolted ash pit, imploring her to open it.

Gary Valenciano RevealsHis Secret on this Month’s ‘Working Mom’ Issue

Posted: 29 May 2011 03:38 PM PDT

You don't need to get your eyes checked. That's Gary Valenciano with daughter Kiana on Working Mom's June 2011 issue as the magazine's first-ever cover dad.

"Moms aren't the only ones who juggle work and family," writes editor-in-chief Dedet Panabi in her editor's note. "Lots of dads want to be part of their kids' lives, and it's about time we applaud their efforts!"

In this special issue, the Father's Day celebration starts with Gary V and why he represents the new, hands-on dad (one of his secrets: still having that "spark" with wife Angeli). Then, an invitation to be inspired by the stories of singer-composer Gary Granada and former basketball star Freddie Hubalde whose kids decided to follow their footsteps. And Working Mom rounds off the celebration by honoring single moms who stand as fathers to their children.

A Working Mom June issue won't be complete, however, without its back-to-school guide. This year, the magazine pulled out all the stops to bring readers more than 100 products and tips for a happy and stress-free school year. We've got every problem covered, from school baon to must-have school supplies.

Check out out Working Mom's amazing June 2011 issue at your favorite newsstand.

DVD Review: Mystery Science Theater 3000: Vol. XX

Mystery Science Theater 3000: Vol. XX DVD

Mystery Science Theater 3000: Vol. XX
DVD
Directed by Kevin Murphy
Starring Joel Hodgson, Michael J. Nelson
Shout! Factory
Release Date: March 8, 2011


Before I started putting my thoughts for this review to paper, I was trying to remember what movie was being roasted over an open flame on the first episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 that I ever saw. Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders? Nope, but I do recall watching about five minutes of that one. Eegah? Close, but no cigar. That episode I watched on a day when I stayed home from school with the flu and it happened at the time I had just discovered the endless source of wonderment that is Comedy Central (in the form of reruns of the original British version of Whose Line is it Anyway?).

I'm afraid my introduction to the subversively hilarious world of MST3K (which we lifetime MST-ies have earned the right to call it) was a mid-90s Saturday afternoon excoriation, all done with good humor naturally, of the 1987 cheapo sci-fi fantasy Alien from L.A. (episode 516 for you fanatics out there), the movie that kickstarted dead-eyed swimsuit model Kathy Ireland's uneventful acting career and was one of the lesser entries in the filmography of Albert Pyun, the director who excels at bargain basement schlock staffed with actors desperate for a lightning-quick payday (he also apprenticed with Akira Kurosawa…make of that what you will) [...]

Judas Priest Ram Down ‘American Idol’

Posted: 29 May 2011 08:40 AM PDT

Judas Priest

I despise American Idol. It goes against every fiber of belief I have in music. The Simon Cowell Cookie Cutter Factory of creating "stars" really gets on my last nerve. Despite my negativity towards the-show-that-distracts-millions, I can't help but write about it at the moment, because metal gods Judas Priest made a guest appearance on the series finale the other night - and blew the whole show out of the water with a great performance, which you can view at the bottom of this post.

My hatred for American Idol aside, you have to admit that this is a good move for Priest in the publicity department. As reported here numerous times, the band are about to embark on their farewell tour, and making an impressive appearance on a show like this is a good way to get the word out beyond the regular fan base [...]
