![Bad Movie Rant [Rocking the Boat]](http://thecoolship.com/wp-content/themes/magazinum/scripts/timthumb.php?src=http://thecoolship.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Battleship-Game.jpg&w=225&h=145&zc=1)
This movie looks stupid. In fact, a lot of movies looks stupid. Hollywood keeps putting out mindless, stupid movies, that seem to offer very little. This is a movie based on Battleship. BATTLESHIP!!!!!! Are you kidding me? I can’t wait for the Jenga movie. And trust me, if Battleship is successful, you will see a Jenga movie. Or Connect Four. [...]
So I was watching The Big Bang Theory the other night and I thought to myself, “You know what this show is missing? John Ritter.” Maybe it was just because Kaley Cuoco is on the show and they shared the screen on 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter, but I think he would be amazing on TBBT. He [...]
Tim Burton is quirky. I said it. Just in case there was any doubt whatsoever: that man is quirky. Now there is no need for you to see Dark Shadows; you can spare yourself from 113 minutes of a film desperately trying to prove what I just stated. At the risk of sounding too harsh, let me backtrack a bit. [...]

Any week that a Liam Neeson film is released is a great week! It should be celebrated, like it’s freakin’ Christmas or something. What I mean by that is you should buy some or all of this stuff and give out some gifts. Who doesn’t love presents? DVD/Blu-ray New Releases for May 15th, 2012 The Grey. Starring Liam Neeson and [...]
It seems like every time I turn on the television set and start flipping through channels I am bombarded by reality TV shows centered around investigating supernatural activity. Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, Celebrity Ghost Stories, Paranormal State, and even Animal Planet’s The Haunted have all taken stabs at trying to get the television viewing audience to believe in the paranormal. [...]
By now, I should know what to expect from a Lasse Hallström picture. Though I will not go so far as to call him the Nicholas Sparks of directors, I will say that his works are formulaic in the same sense. (Perhaps this comparison is not entirely unfounded; Hallström did direct Dear John, after all.) There are bound to be [...]
The Second Annual Comedy Awards were taped on April 28th in New York City and featured Chris Rock, Will Arnett, Jim Carrey, Louis C.K., and many more. Special tributes were paid to Robin Williams who won the stand-up icon award and Don Rickles who received the Johnny Carson award. The next biggest winners were Bridesmaids, which strengthened the female presence [...]

Ever since I wrote my last article about the return of Dallas, as well as a few other TV shows, I have been thinking a lot about TV show remakes and reboots. And by “a lot,” I mean for the past couple of days. So I have decided to compile a list of television shows that I think should be [...]
The Avengers is out. It’s live. The culmination of five years at Marvel Studios and arguably the most ambitious film event since Warner Brothers decided to do eight sequential movies about a boy wizard. If you’ve seen it already then you know what I know. And if you haven’t… well let’s be real. By Sunday evening everyone will have seen [...]
When I first saw Say Anything…, I thought to myself, “Gee. John Cusack is a dead ringer for Edgar Allen Poe.” Thankfully, director James McTeigue has brought my observation to life with The Raven. Named after the classic work by America’s master of the macabre, The Raven is a fictionalized depiction of the final days of Poe’s life. The beginning of the film [...]
My first reaction to commercials for The Five-Year Engagement was that this movie seems like another one of Jason Segel’s quirky films like Forgetting Sarah Marshall or I Love You Man. But while Jason Segel’s writing and acting is funny, this was just another typical romantic comedy. Typical romantic comedies, such as this, include a lot of sexual humor that [...]

I am really excited for this week. There is a lot of good stuff coming out. At least for music anyway. DVD/ Blu-ray releases are just okay, I guess. DVD/Blu-ray New Releases for May 1st, 2012 Haywire. Starring Gina Carano, Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor, and Channing Tatum. Trailer Joyful Noise. Starring Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton.

![Out With the Old, In With the Old Made New [Things I'm Still Bitter About]](http://thecoolship.com/wp-content/themes/magazinum/scripts/timthumb.php?src=http://thecoolship.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Dallas-2012-promo-ad-2.jpg&w=225&h=145&zc=1)
TV remakes and reboots – I’m not going to say that I’m enraged about this but I am a bit bitter. I have the same feelings towards remakes and reboots when films do it; I’m very skeptical. Well, depending on the subject, I could be somewhat hopeful. When Conan was remade, I was hopeful and actually enjoyed the film. The [...]
My time in this college town environment is running out. I’ve completed the classes, obtained the degree, and imbibed the alcohol. Until a week ago, I thought I had taken part in all of the quintessential Athens, Ohio experiences. Then I came across one that had evaded me for three years: The Athens International Film and Video Festival. If this [...]
One of the more unique and intriguing bands to come out of England is Killing Joke, a band that has been rocking for longer than I have been alive. In 1979, singer Jaz Coleman and drummer Paul Ferguson joined up with guitarist Geordie Walker and Martin “Youth” Glover and formed Killing Joke. This band would help shape and define the [...]

The latest episodes of South Park have been getting a little stale. South Park started out as a fantastic animated series with humorous language and pop culture references, but lately writers Matt Stone and Trey Parker seemed to have hit their limit for new humor. Who could blame them? They’ve been making new South Park episodes for over fifteen years; they’re simply [...]
Since I grew up in the 80s and 90s, I’ve always wanted live action movies about my old toys or cartoon TV shows. Early on, I was able to see my beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the big screen three separate times and once again in 2007. Later that year I was able to see my Transformers occupy the [...]
![Dick Clark [Rocking the Boat]](http://thecoolship.com/wp-content/themes/magazinum/scripts/timthumb.php?src=http://thecoolship.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Dick-Clark.jpg&w=225&h=145&zc=1)
I’m a big fan of television, and as such, I consider the passing of Dick Clark to be extremely saddening. I never watched American Bandstand or The $10,000 Pyramid (I’m a relatively young dude), but I spent every New Year’s Rocking Eve with the TV legend. His eloquence and poise made him a natural fit for television. I was constantly [...]
