Tony's Review of "Iron Man 3″

Tony Kerns — Mon, 06 May 2013 16:07:59 +0000

Another film trilogy has come to an end, but this trilogy has done what few before have been able to accomplish, save the best movie for last.

Taking place after the events of “The Avengers”, “Iron Man 3” opens with a flashback to New Year’s Eve 1999 where a very drunk and cocky Tony Stark is speaking at a symposium in Sweden, laying his moves on thick to scientist Maya Hansen, and blowing off disabled scientist Aldrich Killian who is promoting his think-tank, Advanced Idea Mechanics

OH GOD NO! WHY DID I LOOK?!

Never thought you'd see topless photos that made the Octomom's pictures look hot, did ya? Patricia Krentcil quickly gained notoriety for her arrest and mugshot following her attempts to bring her then 5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth. Since then, Krentcil has made efforts to reduce her tanning and bring her skin back to a less leathery complexion,

Tony's Review of "Evil Dead"

Tony Kerns — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 18:19:23 +0000

Another remake? Yes, Hollywood has been out of original ideas for quite some time. However, “Evil Dead” takes the idea of a remake and does it the way it should, taking as little of the source material as necessary, and coming up with a new twist to make the new film a unique experience for the audience, both those new to the story and fans of the original

Tony Kerns — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 05:06:46 +0000

"Saints Row IV" Announcement Trailer Is Here!

Tony Kerns — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:55:06 +0000

In 2011, Volition shocked fans of the "Saints Row" video game series with a serious change in tone for their new game, "Saints Row The Third". Instead of being a serious, Grand Theft Auto-esque game with occasional quirky moments, Saints Row had now become completely batsh*t insane, including streaking, monstrous clones, superheroes, vampires, S&M, zombies, sex toy weapons, an auto-tuned pimp with a tracheotomy, and movie references galore.

First Trailer For "Kick Ass 2″. Warning: It's a RED BAND TRAILER!

Tony Kerns — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 17:19:06 +0000

To be perfectly honest, I don’t think many people were expecting much of the original “Kick Ass” movie, myself being one of them. But we were all taken off guard by the brutal realism, and quirky comedy, about a high schooler deciding to take matters into his own hands and becoming the super hero Kick [...]

In Defense of Being a Movie Snob [OPINION]

Tony Kerns — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 02:21:22 +0000

I’m a movie snob; I admit it and I see no problem with it. I’m highly critical of cinema because of my passion for it. Yes, it’s an art form and art is subjective, but I also believe there are aspects to film, just like any art, that are measurable and go to determine the quality of the piece and the skill of the people responsible for it

Glenn Beck vs. World Wrestling Entertainment

Tony Kerns — Sat, 23 Feb 2013 04:21:18 +0000

In the current day of “Sports Entertainment”, the idea of pro wrestling being “real” is passé. We all know it to be a physically demanding choreographed equivalent of a soap opera, but that doesn’t mean people aren’t going to take the scripted storylines to heart, and take offense when a storyline goes too far. Recently [...]

Tony Kerns — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 01:53:47 +0000

As any good business should, Playboy Enterprises has made the decision to revamp its cultural image in an attempt to stay socially relevant and financially viable.

Fox News is receiving quick backlash for statements made during the PC Police segment on their weekend edition of “Fox and Friends” Sunday night, February 17th.

Tony's Review of "A Good Day To Die Hard"

Tony Kerns — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 05:26:23 +0000

The original “Die Hard” was a surprise action film that helped redefine the genre. In an age of muscular superheroes like Stallone and Schwarzenegger, an average looking television actor became the next major action star. Bruce Willis as John McClane was the first “everyman” to be believed as a major action hero, being the wrong [...]

Arizona Bill Requires Constitutional Loyalty Oath to Graduate

As important as public education is to our society, it’s understandable that any changes to it will be met with high scrutiny, and likely high controversy. Some schools were met with challenges over something as simple as dropping cursive writing from the curriculum, while others felt the backlash for using textbooks that indicated that humans and dinosaurs lived at the same time

Critic Rex Reed Slams Melissa McCarthy's Movie and Weight

Tony Kerns — Sun, 10 Feb 2013 03:09:30 +0000

According to Wikipedia, Film criticism is "the analysis and evaluation of films, individually and collectively. In general, this can be divided into journalistic criticism that appears regularly in newspapers, and other popular, mass-media outlets and academic criticism by film scholars that is informed by film theory and published in journals." But one critic seems to believe that includes attacking the film's

Controversy Over 'Illegal Immigrant Hunting Permit' Sticker

Tony Kerns — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 19:09:28 +0000

To say that illegal immigration is a hot issue in our country right now is an understatement. Many would argue that President Obama is catering to illegal immigrants, and others believe it was Romney’s stance on immigrants that lost him the Latino vote. With tempers rising on both sides, at what point does someone [...]

Tony's Review of "Warm Bodies"

Tony Kerns — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 18:38:57 +0000

A film by Summit Entertainment (the company that brought us “The Twilight Saga”), based on a book, starring a girl that looks like Kristen Stewart in a blonde wig, and it’s about a girl who falls in love with a dead guy? This sounds familiar. What am I getting myself into?! Wait… this movie’s good? [...]

A Gamer's Response to the NRA [OPINION]

Tony Kerns — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 18:01:06 +0000

After the tragic shooting in Newtown, many things went through my mind but one of the first was, “What will the NRA say about this?” Any time there is massive gun violence in our nation, the NRA is one of the first to comment. To their credit, the NRA decided to withhold any statement on the shooting to
