“Pompeii”: one entertaining eye roll
All damsels in distress beware; you will be swept off your feet. Just wait for the cute gladiator to ride in on a white horse to rescue your honor. It all happened in the new movie “Pompeii.” Every clichéd second, every out of place dialogue and every love struck glance was caught on camera by Paul W.S. Anderson, director […]
Scraps from the master’s table: Minimum wage
When President Barack Obama used his executive authority to raise the wages for Federal Contract workers, he said, “No one working full-time in the world’s richest nation should be poor.” Minimum wage has to be raised because hard-working people are kept in poverty as a result.

Parents “Can’t Stop” Miley Cyrus’s predictably inappropriate tour

Winnick plays Lagertha Lothbrok on The History Channel’s “Vikings,” a show that follows the lives of a family of Vikings during medieval times and is based on historical figures. Her character, a wife and mother, is based on a shieldmaiden, a woman […]

Nintendo’s Wii U woes
On Jan. 29, Nintendo held an investor meeting showing how the Wii U, the sequel to the Wii, stacked up to previous consoles and current generation consoles such as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

On the Bench: Yankees
At this time of year, I’m reminded of a video from a couple years ago. It’s a bunch of guys sitting around a dinner table, what looks like a Mafia-style meeting. But keeping their business aside, one guy asks the crowd, “What am I most enthusiastic about these days?” His answer was the same as […]
