Let's get this out of the way right off the top. Yes, in terms of basic story line Wanted is essentially the same thing as The Matrix . It's close enough that they could be accused of cribbing, actually, if not for the fact that Wanted is based on a well

Is it safe to say that I’m no longer a daydream believer, but just a plain ol’ believer, in the man of the hour: Barack Obama? It’s a beautiful thing you see, a man of colour coming this close to the brass ring; and during my lifetime no less (never thought

Dear Blog-Heads, There are certain things in life that are inherently happy. These things include dancing, music, beautiful landscapes and laughing children. It is quite a feat, then, that Matt Harding released a video today containing all these things,

Nah, but the big screen version of Get Smart is pretty damn funny and, more importantly, manages to update the camp classic without pissing all over what made the TV show so much damn fun. And, hey …considering that the original creators and star couldn’t

Oh, decisions decisions ... what to do at the multiplex this week? There's the new Shyamalan suicide flick but word on that has been mediocre at best. Or you could go watch the new Hulk smash the hell out of Yonge Street but between Ed Norton's public

Rolling into Canada today is Lightspeed Champion, a one-man project that’s the brainchild of American-born Brit Devonte Hynes. The music that comes from this particular project is just deliciously self-aware and ironic enough to not push it into the category

The actual existence of a penny arcade may seem like pure fantasy, but the arrival of a game from the cult creators of beloved webcomic Penny Arcade seems nearly as fantastical. And yet their debut game has nonetheless hit Xbox Live (and PCs and Macs,

With a title like that, I feel like I should be wearing a smoking jacket and smoking a pipe, but instead I’ve got on my laundry day attire. No matter, I did the interview over the phone with Lidell as he hungrily waited for a meal at a truck stop somewhere
