Posted on by The Wise Guise in Featured, Weekly Posts, Weekly Review | 2 Comments

Welcome to The Weekly Review! In today’s day and age, information bombards us at an unhealthy rate. There is seemingly so much to read and consume, and so little time to do it. That’s why at the end of each week, Joseph Williams is prepared to update you on all the best reads from a large variety of sources. Clayton Martin will be following Joseph’s articles with a fun grab bag of entertainment as well. So take a deep breath, …

GASTON: TRUE DISNEY VILLAIN OR JUST MISUNDERSTOOD?

Posted on by The Wise Guise in Featured, Guest Spots, Misc. Posts, Movies | 25 Comments

IS GASTON A TRUE DISNEY VILLAIN OR IS HE JUST MISUNDERSTOOD? By Joseph Williams and Seth Wiedemann Depending on which of us you ask, you’ll get a very different answer to the question of how much of a villain Gaston (from Beauty and the Beast) actually is.  To provide some context, the two of us have debated (for many, many, many hours on road trips, at dinners, and any other time a snide, button-pushing comment can open up an all-out …

Mary Beth Wilson: The Kiss Cam Incident

Posted on by Guest in Basketball, Featured, Guest Spots, Sports | Leave a comment

This guest post comes from Mary Beth Wilson, a University of Tennessee graduate and Lakeland, FL native. We are glad she could join us to share her unfortunate story of awkwardly being on the Kiss Cam…with her brother. Follow her on Twitter @Wilson_MB! It happened in January of 2010. I was sitting next to my younger brother, Jeremy, in Thompson Boling Arena at the UT/Vandy basketball game. During an early timeout, Faith Hill’s “This Kiss” started playing, which means one …

A WrestleMania XXVIII Preview for the Former Wrestling Fan and a Stroll Down Memory Lane By Joseph Williams When I was in middle school, it was right after the Monday Night Wars broke out, with WCW Nitro and Eric Bischoff battling eternal top dogs in ratings and history, WWF (now WWE after the World Wildlife Foundation got all litigation-happy on them) Monday Night Raw led by Vince McMahon (before his wife ran for U.S. Senate).  These were the golden days …

Tuesday’s with Tony: Tony’s Future Career

Posted on by Colin Stovall in Basketball, Featured, Sports, Tuesday's With Tony, Weekly Posts | Leave a comment

I’ve got Tony’s future planned out post-NBA career. Motivational speaker/children’s book writer. He can thank me later, and I will take a smaller percentage than his current agent. What a deal. I figured if Lebron James can have cartoon children’s series starring Lebron, Lebron, annnndddd Lebron, Tony’s knowledge and sageness could generate beaucoup de moolah (French minor in me coming out). His Twitter feed is peppered with inspirational tweets and motivating messages. I think he loves brightening his followers’ day. …

Whitney Reisser: American Idol Performances Worth Idolizing

Posted on by Guest in Featured, Guest Spots, Reality Check, Television | 2 Comments

Whitney here again with your latest dose of American Idol scoop.  This week’s post is going to be a little different from my first Idol Thoughts though.  Rather than review each of the remaining contestants’ performances from the last couple of weeks, I thought I would spend this week sharing my top 10 performances over the past 10 seasons.  As I said in my previous post, one of my favorite things to do is to re-watch old footage of Idol.  …

Tiger Woods: Back To Business As Usual

Posted on by Colin Stovall in Featured, Golf, Sports | 5 Comments

“He’s Back.” The cliche phrase of the day on Sunday. But you know what, they are right. I write this post as a former Tiger hater, Phil was my boy. My hatred stemmed from the have-nots, the things Tiger did better than him. I was jealous that my guy couldn’t perform as well under the pressure as Eldrick Woods. When the proverbial “shit hit the fan” moment happened with Woods I was disappointed, not in the evidence revealed, but how …

Movie Review: The Hunger Games

Posted on by Clayton Martin in Featured, Movie Reviews, Movies, The Imaginarium | 3 Comments

Everyone hates the typical “book is better” guy. Everyone loves to get to be the “book is better” guy. I’m glad to be able to report after seeing the movie, I don’t have to be that guy. I certainly don’t mean that as a knock on the book. I mean that more so to give the movie props. Look, they are going to cut things. They are going to change things. If you haven’t figured it out by now, that’s …
