Rock the Charts: Japan's box office numbers 1/29 - 2/4

Rock the Charts: Japan's box office numbers 1/22 - 1/28

Just because I post Rock the Charts on a Friday rather than a Thursday doesn't mean that there's any less high-flying, pulse-pounding, attack-dodging action to be seen. Truthfully, the energy level of this column is up for de...   more

A look inside: Gamera and other kaiju (literally)

One of my favorite moments from this past season of Mad Men is when Don Draper and Lane Pryce embark upon a random, misguided and utterly bro-tastic night out on the town in the tense hours before the new year rolls in, bring...   more

Rock the Charts: Japan's box office numbers 1/8 - 1/14

Indifference.That's what this week's box office rankings embody, to the fullest extent of the word. Not only do they accommodate the emotion, but they impart it into anyone who glances at the disaster area of a chart. It's mi...   more
