Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 7 Premiere
Its been nearly two years since the end of the sixth season of Curb Your Enthusiasm. It returns with the premiere of the seventh season on Sunday, September 20th at 9PM on HBO.

First Chance To See NBA 2K10
At an event last night sponsored by 2K Sports, Kobe Bryant faced off against Carmelo Anthony in a game of NBA 2K10.

It was likely set to a low difficulty and the two guys didn't even know how to play the game (Kobe asked "how do you dunk" before they started). However when a game is two weeks out from release and the...

For the weekend Meatballs will make close to 30 million. In a slight upset it is The Informant! that comes in second beating out Jennifer's Body. The Informant! made 3.7 million while J...

Review: The Informant
One of the staples of the entertainment site will be frequent reviews for movies opening up in theaters as well as DVD and Blu-ray reviews. As time goes on the review format will certainly evolve. Not only in structure but also in level of comfort of writing them. Slight spoilers ahead, but given these are true events I feel comfortable discussing them so just be forewarned. The Informant! opened today starring Matt Damon and directed by Steven Soderbergh. Loosely based on a true story, Dam...
