Looking Ahead to WWE Slammy Awards

Pigeon John's "The Bomb" was such an awesome song to use for the "Oh Snap" nomination video but I thought that Batista should've won...

I think it's fun to have an "NBA Jam"-style skating game - nothing wrong with some arcade nonsense amongst all the accurate sims. I've had a blast with the game so far and think it's a good addition to the franchise. Also, plenty of good tunes as usual, I especially like "Kids" by Sleigh Bells, "Come My Sunshine" by The Comas, and "Where Was My Brain" by Ted Leo. Best gaming soundtrack since the original Dave Mirra Freestyle!

Review: Friday Night Lights - The Son

Dec 4th 2009 7:48PM (AOL TV)
Such a fantastic episode - this one should definitely win some awards.

I think it really solidified the fact that Matt Saracen is the best character in television right now. He has so much character depth, yet it never is forced, and everything he does seems so natural. Here in this episode we are shown some different sides of him, but they all make sense in context. Brilliant writing, really. I hope episodes like this help give the show wider exposure because it's up there with Sons of Anarchy as the best drama on TV, and I think it should be getting better exposure.

Also, I thought it was cool to hear Great Northern's "Driveway" during the funeral procession. FNL the movie did a perfect job with its music, and I'm glad the show understands the importance of music as a mood setter, too.

Need For Speed NITRO Trailer: Get a First Look

Nov 23rd 2009 7:08PM (Just So You Know)
Glad to finally see a Need For Speed on Wii that feels like it was actually developed for Wii. While I’m not sure how much replay value this will have for me long-term, in the short-term it’s providing some great, thrill-a-minute fun…I love how intense the speed feels in this game and overall I just enjoy playing an arcadey style racing game better than a realistic sim.

Also, props to EA for a great soundtrack, especially for the inclusion of Earl Greyhound’s “Oye Vaya” – it’s the perfect racing song.

Need for Speed Nitro rushes to retail in early November

I only wish they would've included online play and pushed back the release date...but oh well, guess that's how they're going to get me to buy the next edition.

Also, props to EA for a great soundtrack, especially for the inclusion of Earl Greyhound’s “Oye Vaya” – it’s the ultimate driving song.

'Sons of Anarchy' Season 2 Episode 11 'Service' Recap

Nov 18th 2009 8:59PM (Inside TV Blog)
What a great episode...Tight writing, believable acting (without over-acting, which would be really easy to do with a series like this) and some real heartfelt moments that didn't seem forced...I'm loving it.

I love how the Opie story line is taking shape, and can't wait to see where it goes from here. Also, I loved that they used the Two Gallants song "Fly Low Carrion Crow" - it's the song that plays when Piney is at his house and holding the gun in his hand...such a great 'Americana' tune that fits the show perfectly. (scene can be watched at : http://vimeo.com/7695650)

Will a Time Swap With 'Cold Case' Save CBS' 'Three Rivers'?

Nov 17th 2009 8:28PM (Inside TV Blog)
Here's hoping that the switch in time slots will help Cold Case stick around longer, because the show is still going strong. I thought the most recent episode, "Read Between The Lines" was as good as anything they've ever done, and thought Zeb and Donalyn were excellent characters.

I also really liked that they played MC Lyte’s “Act Like You Know” when Zeb took Donalyn to her audition – really fit the whole scene (lyrically and musically) well. The scene is on YouTube at : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGCNcFKkQp0

Lie to Me: Truth or Consequences

Oct 7th 2009 2:47PM (AOL TV)
I agree, this show has definitely picked it up this season. The first season I mostly watched because I thought it was such a cool concept, but now, as you mentioned, the stories are getting more interesting and personal, and the writing is definitely much tighter.

I loved the college party scene, it was one of the more accurately depicted party scenes I've seen in a TV show or movie...it actually looked real, like it's a party you could stumble upon at the nearest frat house. Also, I was pretty stoked to hear Bijou's "Bang" bumping in the background - a perfect party track for the scene. FYI, you can watch the whole party scene at : http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xaqh89_bang-by-bijou-soundtracks-a-college_music
