Boy Meets Nostalgia
When I first heard that Disney was looking to resurrect (as opposed to spinning-off or rebooting) Boy Meets World as Boy Meets Girl and follow Cory and Topanga’s daughter through the challenges of adolescent life, I was instantly excited and intrigued. I’ve been a longtime fan of the show (even though I was in high […]

Movie Mayhem – Don Jon/Thanks For Sharing
Usually when two movies with similar themes hit theaters, they are scheduled at least two to three months apart (see Olympus Has Fallen/White House Down, Deep Impact/Armageddon… Antz/A Bug’s Life). However, just one week after the film Thanks For Sharing hit theaters, Don Jon sauntered into theaters like it owned the place (which is quite […]

Rocky Balboa vs Jake La Motta
Now this is a Grudge Match I can’t wait to see. I don’t care how geriatric they may be, to see Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro train to face each other in the ring is just an awesome concept. And given the trailer, the film looks hilarious to boot. With Sly dipping back into […]

Novel Mayhem – The Hand That Feeds
I received this book free from the author in return for an honest review. From the very beginning, stories about the living dead have been more about exploring the human experience (how one deals emotionally and psychologically with this type of “outbreak”) than they have the actual walking dead themselves. In that way, it’s hard […]

Can I just Say…
Shemar Moore may be good on Criminal Minds, but he is not at all a commentator, host or journalist (as clearly evidenced by his excruciating turn in the green room at the this year’s Emmy Awards). To Mr. Moore I ask (no, I beg) that you stick with your day job and leave the hosting […]

Movie Mayhem – Prisoners
Desperation can make any man do the impossible, but more to the point, it reveals a man’s character to the deepest reaches of his soul. What one person is capable of doing in the most unthinkable of situations crates a portrait of who they are as a human, and how they interact with those around […]

Chaos Television Awards
On the eve of the 65th Emmy Awards, Chaos breeds Chaos is presenting it’s own awards, the Chaos Television Awards, for the best of the best of TV in 2012-2013. These awards follow the same timeline guidelines as the regular Emmy awards (so The Bridge will not be included as it began after May 31, […]

Reading should be encouraged, not condemned
What have we come to as a society when we look down on kids who love to read? According to several reports (some going back to August… wish I wasn’t so late to this party), that’s exactly what happened in Hudson Falls, New York, where a local librarian was fired, supposedly over defending, and wanting […]

So Much For Originality
Could the producers of Dancing With the Stars have been more unoriginal? As the opening routine to their brand new season, producers chose to steal a page from So You Think You Can Dance and copy almost everything from the latter shows amazing opening dance routine, from starting in the parking lot, to showing them […]
