Movie Review: Inception

By Jiun Kwon

Three weeks late.  I’m embarrassed, I am.  Shame on me.  But DUDE, this movie’s still #1 at the Box Office!!!  Chris Nolan, how do you DO that?  Are you a bajazillionaire now?  You’re unstoppable!

Inception has turned into one of those films that inspires adamant and sharp division (but no Fountain-fueled fist fights… yet), among critics,… Read More

Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work

By Boris Cha

About six months ago someone told me that Joan Rivers was going to make a documentary. My initial question was, haven’t we already seen the Joan Rivers documentary throughout her career? Six months later, after seeing the documentary “Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work”, I received the answer to my question. No.

Sure, we have seen Joan… Read More

Movie Reviews of Movies I Haven’t Seen: Yogi Bear

By Hawkes Klein

All productivity today went to a screeching halt after seeing the second teaser trailer for “The Social Network” (see it on NYMag’s blog HERE and note that JCPE and I are the only commenters). At the ripe old age of 28 I am not in any way mature enough to watch a movie with Justin in it… Read More

[Review] The Last Airbender

By Andrew Monkelban

Movie adaptions rarely live up to the epicness of their source material. The X-Men, Super Mario Bros., and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies are some examples of this, while the Lord of the Rings trilogy is something that has lived up to the source material. How does The Last Airbender fare — does it blow you away,… Read More

Droid Does Top Ten Apps

By Mike Wroblewski

Droid Does.

…And so the prophecy says, but what does Droid do?

Diving into the mobile device head first at 100 mph, I uncovered all that Droid can do; take DVD quality video, act as a flashlight, navigate the world (and stars), edit photos, be social, play music, make music, find new music, hear music and tell you… Read More

Movie Reviews of Movies I Haven’t Seen: Knight & Day

By Hawkes Klein

Oh dear Lord what is wrong with me? Seriously, there are the things going through my clearly deranged and misguided head like “oh my my isn’t Tom Cruise charming?” WTF? I keep seeing him in that denim shirt with that hair shaking in front of his eyes and I am MAGICALLY transported to my mom’s game room,… Read More

[Review] XCM XFPS Rateup Adapter for PS3

By Andrew Monkelban

Preferences: we all have them. Whether you like Coca-Cola over Pepsi, subtitled anime over dubbed, or dogs over cats. As gamers, some prefer to play shooters with a controller, while others prefer to use a keyboard and mouse. However you can’t use a keyboard and mouse (to play games) on a console… Or can you? The XCM… Read More

There’s a New Chocolatier in Town (Welcome Leila’s)

By Mike Wroblewski

So what exactly do Pioneer Restaurant, the local Verizon Wireless, and DT Hardware have in common?

Really not much other than that they share the west 231st block with a new player in town. Not so much a player; more like a melter. Chocolate melter that is. Welcome Leila’s Hand Dipped Chocolates; the best treat to enter the… Read More
