In our October 8 post on the state of the Skype sale and litigation, we ended with a prediction: “The likely outcome of all of this remains the same – Joltid will get a stake of some size in Skype. But given the players involved, anything could still happen.” If GigaOm and the NYTimes are right, that’s exactly what’s happening. Even the “anything could still happen” part.

It was what eBay was negotiating with Skype long before the current buyout offer , and the team has ... Read Full Story

In lifeless fashion this film doesn't attempt to tell a worthwhile story and instead acts as a precursor to a franchise that will never exist due to the first film's failings. In short, ...

Surprisingly fun and full of action. I've never read the books but I enjoyed the movie, though I have a feeling parts of the story may have been cut out or glossed over to keep in all the action etc. Overall, very enjoyable in a ridiculous slightly cheesy way. Read Full Story

Free Online Movie Review Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant" Movie Review -- Ever since the first Harry Potter film opened, studio executives have been busy alchemists, trying to turn lead into gold. Or, at least, trying to adapt young-adult novel series into blockbuster-movie franchises. It hasn’t been successful, or pretty. “The Golden Compass.” “A Series of Unfortunate Events.” “Inkheart.” “Eragon.” The release schedule of the last few years is cluttered with kickoffs to series that never got past that first, disappointing episode. Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant (PG-13) Universal (109 min.) Directed by Paul Weitz. With John C. Reilly, Chris Massoglia, Josh ... Read Full Story

Banana Shpeel is a decidedly different turn for Cirque du Soleil, in that the act has a distinct narrative. The show tells the tale of Shmelky, Emmett, and Katie -- a theater producer, actor, and love interest, respectively -- and the ins and outs and...

You know the feeling: It’s when your stomach hits your mouth at the top of a rollercoaster. Watching the two guys work the “Wheel of Death” at Cirque du Soleil’s Kooza on Thursday night elicited the same exact sensation. What’s the wheel of death? Imagine two human-sized hamster wheels on either ends of a huge metal lever. This contraption rotates by gravity and the momentum of the two Cirque artists on either end.
