What would happen if you combined E.T. with Cloverfield? Well, you’d get Super 8 which is directed by J.J. Abrams and produced by Steven Spielberg. While it wasn’t horrific, Super 8 certainly doesn’t live up to the hype and this is mainly due to the fact that the styles of Abrams and Spielberg just don’t mix well here.… Read More
Yet another burger restaurant opened up in Boca Raton a few months back, called Boardwalk Fresh Burgers and Fries. I decided to check it out the other day, and I must say, it’s a pretty good place. If you’ve ever been to a Five Guys Burgers and Fries you’ll feel somewhat familiar at Boardwalk, as they are remotely similar.… Read More
By now, you’ve probably heard about Words with Friends. Launched in July 2009, this word-based game is almost identical to Scrabble in the way it is played. The only difference is that instead of huddling around a board game on a table, we are able to challenge friends, family, co-workers and random opponents through a device running either iOS (iPhone and iPad) or Android.… Read More

You may have heard the story of Aron Ralston, the mountain climber who was trapped between two narrow canyon walls for five days back in 2003. Most people were horrified when they heard just how he escaped, as they pondered whether they could do what he did in that situation.… Read More
If you’ve never been to the Golden Corral, you’re missing out on a true symbol of American hospitality. Where else can you find row upon row of hot, steamy, fried, greasy, starchy comfort foods all waiting to be devoured in limitless quantities?… Read More
Vividly portraying the early days of Facebook and its anti-social founder Mark Zuckerberg, The Social Network goes behind the scenes of the social networking site we’ve all come to either love or loath. Just as there are very few “middle-ground” Facebook users (you either like the site or hate the site), I have a feeling this movie will garner a similar array of reviews at both extreme ends of the spectrum.… Read More
Adapted from Chuck Hogan’s novel, Prince of Thieves, this film follows the exploits of four lifelong friends in crime as they make their way through a series of armed robberies and attempt to avoid the heat of law enforcement. While the plot behind this bank heist thriller may not be very original, the method in which it was filmed makes up for that.… Read More
