Video Hits: “What The Hell” by Avril Lavigne There are possibly only three good things about this video: Avril, Avril in her underwear, and oh, I don’t know, Avril’s vampire fangs (what can I say, they’re kind of cute). The point is, this is one of those weeks where I feel more inclined to spotlight a new train wreck of a video that’s worth at least watching for kicks than taking the...

Video Interview: The stars of ‘Death Race 2′ →
Roger Corman’s Death Race 2000 introduced the race car driver known as Frankenstein to the world of cinema all the way back in 1975, but we really didn’t know much about the character, or the history of the Death Race, or at least we didn’t, until now. In director Roel Reiné modern prequel to both Corman’s Death Race 2000 and Paul W.S. Anderson’s 2008 Death Race remake, Luke Goss stars...

‘Being Human’ my new Monday night obsession →
The folks at Space have been very, very good to me. They send me screeners for a lot of shows I might never get a chance to watch otherwise, and they’ve let me interview stars from a bunch of their shows, including Stargate Universe and Todd and the Book of Pure Evil, not to mention the opportunity to chat with Ryan Robbins and Robin Dunne from Sanctuary. But, cheesy as it is, the best thing...

The GATE » Video Hits: “The Time (Dirty Bit)” by... →
I take music kind of seriously, so when I realized I had to pick the first video for this new year of Video Hits, I had a hard time deciding what I was actually going to feature to kick off 2011. After all, I had capped off 2010 with what I consider a rather awesome video: Daft Punk’s “Derezzed,” but that was frankly an easy pick. So far, 2011 hasn’t really offered up much in the way of new ...

Fan-made Muppet video takes on Kanye West’s... →
Kanye West may be a mega star, but he’s also one of the most laughable superstars the world has seen since Milli Vanilli. Read just one of his tweets and it’s hard to decide whether you should laugh, or just give up all hope for humanity. This week’s funniest Kanye moment though isn’t courtesy of yet another of Kanye’s delirious tweets, it’s a mashup of his musical brilliance and who else?...

The GATE » Video Hits: ‘Derezzed’ by Daft Punk →
Capping off 2010, I’ve decided to add one last video to my “Video Hits” list for last year, and of course, it had to be Daft Punk’s “Derezzed” for the film Tron: Legacy. Things the video has going for it: art design that borrows from the original film, a Tron-esque rendering of jousting, Daft Punk, and yes, even a brief glimpse of Olivia Wilde. Watch the video…
