The Debt hits theaters August 31, 2011, and the trailer just hit in theaters last Friday. I have to admit I'm pretty keen to see what Director John Madden has put together here, especially in reworking an already very cool movie. Check out the very cool trailer below. The espionage thriller begins in 1997, as shocking news reaches retired Mossad secret agents Rachel (Academy Award winner … [Read more...]

Check out a lot of information … [Read more...]

You've probably already heard me say that PSYCH has let me down once or twice this season. It's still easily one of my favorite shows, but a couple of episodes struck me as not quite being up to par. Last week's episode delivered the goods, and tonight's summer finale One, Maybe Two, Ways Out is among the best the series has produced. With Nestor Carbonell returning, and Franke Potente … [Read more...]
With all the strange, interesting, and bad press that followed in the wake of Sasha Baron Cohen's Borat film, you're about to get a new look behind the scenes of the production, from the perspective of yet another group duped by the film. While many of the stories that came out the film didn't evoke a great deal of sympathy, the curious bamboozling of the village of Glod in Romania might deliver a … [Read more...]
Though stars in magazines isn't generally the sort of thing that gets me to pay attention, Jennifer Aniston is paying homage to Barbra Streisand with a photo shoot in the September issue Harper's Bazaar (on newsstands August 17), and I thought it was actually an interesting idea. Since I have a couple of photos to share, I thought some of you out there might be interested. I think she rather … [Read more...]
We are becoming familiar with the idea that filming graphic novels rarely works out the way we might hope. Alan Moore disinherits most adaptations of his work, big-budget Watchmen drastically changed the story (managing only marginal artistic success, and mixed reactions), and Will Eisner's The Spirit quickly became a laughing stock. There is something very different going on in graphic novels, … [Read more...]

In the world of App games, one of the most prevalent genres is the time-waster. Those games that are often somewhat nonsensical, are utterly simple by design, and don't really require a lot of attention. Responsible for an amazing percentage of App downloads, these games are fun, funny, usually silly, and often pretty addictive. Slingshot Safari, the follow-up to Slingshot Cowboy, is such a … [Read more...]

I've been doing my best to talk up GetGlue and AdaptiveBlue for about as long as Are You Screening? has existed. Unfortunately, GetGlue has long been one of those things that I love in theory, but in actual practice find myself using far less than I would wish. Like most things that have to do with social networks, GetGlue would take thousands of words to explain, but is nevertheless quite … [Read more...]

Every generation in the history of mankind has talked about the good old days, so it isn't surprising to find one more example of reminiscing about days gone by and the way things have changed. Most generations probably have some version of pointing out that things really are different in their case, but there might be a pretty good argument this time around. New York Street Games, a feature … [Read more...]
