Panic Dots Top 10 Albums Of The Year!

I have put together my top ten albums of 2009.
It has been a crazy year for music and myself. I’ve never had so many new bands names in my head. It’s odd how much I get songs and bands mixed up at the minute. Like, every time I hear The Temper Traps single, Sweet Disposition I always think it is Wild Beasts. I could go on with more examples of me being an idiot, but I won’t. There have been so many great albums this year and this is really a pleasure to be doing. Ok, so here are my top ten in reverse order and I’m going to make a track from each album downloadable.

Opulence Aplenty in the New 'Great Gatsby' Trailer!
What filmmaker would you choose to bring F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" (back) to the big screen? Scorsese? Spielberg? Fincher? Ratner?

Watch: Epic SNL After Party with Mick Jagger, Foo Fighters, Amy Poehler, Kristen Wiig, "I Love Rock N' Roll" and More

A few videos are beginning to surface on YouTub […]
'Men in Black III' Guest Review: This Well-Loved Franchise Stays on the Right Track
For months, if not years, the rumors were that Men in Black III was fated for disaster -- reportedly starting before a script was written, caught up in red tape as to whether or not Tommy Lee Jones would return to the franchise, with a multi-million budget that ballooned into the rumored range of $350 million like the national debt under Bush and so on and s […]
Criterion Corner Review: 'Certified Copy' Is A Painfully Honest Love Story That Can't Be Trusted
#612 CERTIFIED COPY (dir. Abbas Kiarostami) 2010. “Everything is true, and everything is invented.” - Juliette Binoche THE FILM (97 / 100) : Okay, so let’s just get the orgasmic platitudes out of the way up top: In my occasionally humble and typically perverse opinion, Abbas Kiarostami’s Certified Copy is perhaps the best film of the last twenty years. Ind […]
When Can I Watch 'Men In Black' With My Kids?
Which Will Smith movie do you watch most often with your kids? (Please don’t say Bad Boys II, please don’t say Bad Boys II, please don’t say Bad Boys II…) I ask because even though he’s arguably the biggest star on the planet, my two sons -- ages 8 and 4 -- don’t have a Smith movie in heavy rotation. Hancock? Too surly. I, Robot and Enemy of the State […]

Watch the Trailer for River Phoenix's Final, Unfinished Film, 'Dark Blood'
Back in October we brought you news that Dutch director George Sluizer (The Vanishing) was in the process of completing production on his 1993 film Dark Blood, which came to an abrupt halt 10 days prior to the end of shooting due to the untimely death of its star, River Phoenix. Thus, the film was never released or heard about again until Sluizer decided to […]

Man Slaps Loud Child in Movie Theater; Now Faces Jail Time
We've been there: You're all settled in to watch your high-priced 3D movie at your local movie theater when someone near you is making noise. And they don't stop. You politely ask them to keep it down, and they refuse. From here the right thing to do would be to exit the theater, inform a manager and ask for a refund. However, one guy decided […]
