Professor Chaos?
1 sub, 1 goal, another loss I felt like the guy who signed up for a membership card the day before Borders announced their bankruptcy and subsequent closure of stores nationwide. The guy who spent more time at his local bookstore than his own home. I watched in agony as a young football stud, up … Read more
Make or Break Time for Arsenal
While Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger’s fate is seemingly tied to how the club emerges from the departures of midfield stars Cesc Fabregas and now Samir Nasri, it is also make or break time for the club.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Megamind
Will Ferrell as Megamind. Don’t be surprised to catch yourself smiling–at least once–during this film. The soundtrack featuring a mixture of an orchestral score and the classic rock of AC/DC and Guns and Roses, imitated Shepard Fairey posters featuring the films central character above a cleverly parodied slogan “No you can’t”, and an obstacle course–similar to an iconic one … Read more

Torres strikes back
Liverpool 2-0 Chelsea After being plagued by injury for most of the 2009-10 premier league campaign, Fernando Torres struggled to jumpstart his form in the beginning of this year.

A thrilling European night from White Hart Lane
It was once again the Gareth Bale show Tuesday night in North London.

After scoring a hat trick at the San Siro against Inter just 13 … Read more
