A week has passed since our last rankings, which can only mean one thing… The latest edition of Power Rankings!

1. Yankees: A week of playing several mediocre teams hasn’t changed our opinion that the Yanks are the best team in the division, league, and sport. However, their success does not come without concerns–injuries threaten to slow their pursuit of a second consecutive World Series.

2. Rays: The Rays finally got their first no hitter in team history. Tampa Bay has won 5 in a row with that …

Inception

With a gigantic budget, Christopher Nolan had some pretty giant expectations to live up to with Inception. After the incredible success of The Dark Knight, we knew he had the vision for great things; but Inception works with unfamiliar material, in a world that hasn’t already been explored and fleshed out for us.
Not only did Nolan and his stellar cast live up to expectations—they surpassed them with ease. The visuals, the story, the writing, even the music; the film comes out firing on all cylinders. Going in, I expected to …

We know how much you have missed your Power Rankings… Fear not, they have returned, just in time for the second half!

1. Yankees: In our first Power Rankings after a long hiatus due to site maintenance and the All Star Game, the Yankees are out in front. After doggedly chasing the Rays in the East for several weeks early in the season, Los Yanquis have finally proven themselves to be the best team in the division, league, and sport. However, their success does not come without concerns–injuries threaten to slow …

Solitary Man

Obviously, this post is coming a little late. Our illustrious review team (Brian) composed this weeks ago, but we have only now been able to get it up. In other words, rent this movie if you can’t see it in theaters, because 4 and 1/2 MovieHumans is tied for the highest rating we’ve ever given.
Who would have thought that Michael Douglas still had an ace up his sleeve?  I didn’t, but after watching Solitary Man, I couldn’t help but sit back in my seat, impressed at the acting chops …

After a long and frustrating hiatus, we believe we have fixed a problem on the site. Stay tuned for mock drafts, power rankings, and movie reviews!

(SPOILER ALERT)

In September of 2004, several well-done promos starring Dominic Monaghan and a few other actors I didn’t know convinced me to turn on ABC for the premier of Lost. Six years later, the first show that I ever watched the whole way through, from start to bitter end, has said farewell with a highly anticipated finale. With two hours of time in which to wrap up an epic television series, Lost set out to be emotionally and narratively satisfying in its last episode. It would be safe to say …

Iron Man II

If it is entertainment you seek, seek no further. Seriously, this movie is all about fun, and it spares no expense in bringing it to you. Surprisingly, it doesn’t cheat its audience out of the character development and decent script that its predecessor offered, instead presenting a sound combination of style and substance that one doesn’t often find in a sequel.
Robert Downey Jr. has solidified his “comeback” and is now just a great actor at work. His charisma carries the film through any of the low points of …

The Rays must be getting bored at the top.

1. Rays: The Rays continue to lead the AL East and our rankings with the the second best pitching staff and lineup in the major leagues. Keeping up this level of play makes Tampa the team to beat right now. It should be fun to watch them fight it out with the not-too-shabby NL East.

2. Phillies: Leading that not-too-shabby division, the Phillies  look unstoppable right now. The starting pitching settled down a bit and the …

Get Him to the Greek

Our little website is moving up in the world: today we were privileged to be invited to an advance screening of Get Him to the Greek. We can’t tell you how much we were blown away by the surprise hit Forgetting Sarah Marshall, the movie that originated the character of Aldous Snow, the eponymous out-of-control rock star played by Russell Brand in both films. It had fresh young talent, a beautiful backdrop, and a hilarious script. Get Him to the Greek pretty much …

Update April 22, 2010 As of now, we think Bradford will be and should be the guy at number 1, but with an organization like St. Louis at the helm, who knows? The Donovan McNabb trade will have very large ramifications for the rest of the draft. Having rid themselves of a need, Washington should go OT now. The Eagles might now use their newly acquired high second-rounder for a safety, a typically undervalued draft position, and use the first-rounder on defensive end or cornerback. The 49ers will bolster that …
