Netflix Flashback: Wes Craven’s Dracula 2000

Nathan Fillion in a vampire movie? SAY IT AIN’T SO!!

As many of our readers will recall right away, I’m not a huge fan of vampires and vampire movies – I’m more of a zombie guy – but this one features Gerard Butler, Jeri Ryan, Jennifer Esposito, Johnny Lee Miller and, yes, Nathan Fillion which meant I had to watch it.

I kept expecting Adam Baldwin and Gina Torres to pop out and kick some vampire ass but, alas, it wasn’t meant to be.

Music Review: Incubus’ “If Not Now, When?”

Music Review: Incubus’ “If Not Now, When?”

Incubus has had an incredible arc over their career. The funky, turntable-heavy S.C.I.E.N.C.E. turned heads in an era of mu metal bands like KoRn and Limp Bizkit while Make Yourself did that one or two better. I certainly have my favorite albums from the California-based rock quintet, but each one is its own individual adventure as the band tackles different styles and dynamics. It’s been almost five years since Light Grenades landed, ending up as my favorite album that year, and the well of new music has been nearly bone dry since then. So, how does a refreshed, mellower Incubus come off after half a decade on hiatus?

Microsoft Secretly Unveiled My Next Phone Today

Microsoft Secretly Unveiled My Next Phone Today

Unlike the rest of their Windows Phone announcements this year, Microsoft’s unveiling of four new phone models – equipped with their new major Mango update due out this fall – almost went completely under the radar. All of the current Windows Phone models were unveiled last October, so the lack of new hardware has certainly been a yank on Microsoft’s mobile chain. So sure, Acer’s finally getting a Windows Phone out, ZTE’s doing something, whatever. The big news is the new Galaxy S 2-derived Windows Phone and if Sprint plays their cards correctly, I’m going to finally own one.

Think Before You Post

We all know that social networking sites are becoming a part of life quickly. Nearly everyone has a Facebook, Twitter, or some even have the dying Myspace accounts, but here’s something not many people think about, the budding of social networking background checks. That’s right, now not only do you have to pass a criminal background check, you may have to be concerned about what kind of information you’ve willingly gave to the public on websites. Now, there are professional social networking sites such as LinkedIn, which may help your case, but may not be able to out balance any negative connotations you’ve racked up through your other sites.

Movie Review: Horrible Bosses

Movie Review: Horrible Bosses

You may hate your job, but you probably don’t have bosses like these. Dave Harken (Kevin Spacey), gives the coveted Senior Vice President position to himself, but only after months of teasing Nick (Jason Bateman), who kisses his ass and arrives in empty parking lots every morning long before his colleagues. Dale (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia‘s Charlie Day) just wants to be a loving husband, but his boss is a sexual harassment nightmare (Jennifer Aniston has never looked hotter). Kurt (Andy Sudeikis) loves his job, but when his boss dies, his coke-fiend son (Colin Farrell) takes over. It’s not long before ‘switcharoo murder’ references are dropped and the trio are up for murdering each other’s awful superiors.
