I see a lot of movies and sometimes I wonder how some of these things got made in the first place. There are a lot of stupid movies out there. Did any of you "Bangkok Dangerous" starring Nicolas Cage? It was awful. You may remember M. Night Shyamalan made an horrible movie starring Mark Wahlberg called "The Happening". It wasn't. "The Love Guru" with Mike Myers officially made him an out of touch comedian.
I agree that it's difficult to make a good movie and now Hollywood is turning back to video games for some help. There have been a few video games that have been made into movies like "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" with Angelina Jolie. There are some more in the works including World of Warcraft and BioShock. I'm really not too familiar with either game. Sadly, my video game experience ended somewhere in the late 80's with my Atari and Intellivison.
Those games were really simple, but I loved them. My all-time favorite game was Adventure by Atari. Do any of you remember this game? You were literally a dot and you had to kill dragons and find a golden chalice. Here's an action shot of you (the dot) fighting a dragon. If you would make a kid play this today, it would probably be cruel and usual punishment because the game was so friggin' simple.
Yes, the arrow is the awesome sword! Check out the chalice on the left!!! There would be no special effects. The movie should look just like the picture on the right. I'm thinking Keanu Reeves could play the role of the dot, but it might be too much of a stretch for him to play a dot. The dot might have too much personality.
If you ever played this game and want to play it again, you are in luck! Click here to bring yourself back to that wonderfully lame game called Adventure.

John Fogerty is making the talk show rounds this week, stopping in to see David Letterman Tuesday and Wednesday, and the ladies of "The View" on Thursday.

It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, it is another gorgeous Monday, fit for another great show at the Crystal Corner tonight.
Through locking ourselves in the barn on Irish Lane, tossing some ideas around, as well as a few choice beverages to...
Hey everybody, we were thrown for a loop by the twist this week, but were able to make one of our "oldie but a goldie" songs fit the mold.
We have a few songs that we have played consistently over the years, and we are very happy that we will be...
We just received word of what this weeks twist is, and...oh boy. We need to take our "signature song" and cut it to only 2:30 without going over. Amberstein does not simply play 2:30 versions of our songs...so this could be interesting.

In 1984, Rockwell rose to number 2 for 3 weeks in 1984 with "Somebody's Watching Me." The backup singer for the song was Michael Jackson. How did Rockwell get Jackson to help him? Well, Rockwell's real name is Kennedy William Gordy and he...
Have you heard the song "Rumble and Sway" yet on Triple M?
The singer sounds like a raspy blues dude who's definitely been around the block a few times....but surprisingly, Jamie N. Commons is only 23 years old!
He was born in England, but...
