One of the good things about Mempis is that the city doesn't play around during the holidays.  Memphis always has plenty of options for its resident's to celebrate any occasion.  This weekend is no different.  You do plan to celebrate the Fourth of July, don't you?  The fourth without fireworks is like cereal without the milk, like Kool without the Gang –... [Read more...]

Does Grown Ups seem like it will be funny to you?  I don't see why not.  Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade and Rob Schneider are all hilarious in their own right.  And what's not funny about childlike men acting like idiots, embarrassing themselves, getting hit in the crotch, running into things.  If you're in need of some laughs, look no... [Read more...]

Greivis Vasquez is destined to be an NBA star.  Remember where you heard this first so I can take credit for telling you.  I honestly think that the Memphis Grizzlies got the steal of the first round when they picked Vasquez with the 28th pick.  Anyone who has followed ACC basketball over the last couple years knows that this guy can play. Besides being... [Read more...]

Congratulations to Ron Artest and the Los Angeles Lakers for becoming the 2010 NBA Champions (yeah, I said Ron Artest...not Kobe).  Anyway, for basketball nuts such as myself, it's time to look forward to next season.  And for Memphis Grizzlies fans, who knows, it may turn out to be a good season.  The team showed promise in 09-10, but as usual, they were... [Read more...]

Award winning actor Morgan Freeman portrays South African civil rights leader Nelson Mandela, who asks the national rugby team captain, played by Matt Damon, and his underdog squad to do the impossible and win the World Cup. Besides Morgan Freeman's... [Read more...]

Sounds stupid, huh?  Honestly, I'm just looking for an excuse to break my diet and gorge on some donuts.  The World Cup comes around once every four years so I figure I can use it as an excuse for this weekend.  So yeah, I'm celebrating the growth of international soccer by eating donuts (I'll convince myself of anything to eat a sugary-sweet piece of fried... [Read more...]

In a last ditch effort to get a "beach body" before I contract a case of beer-bellyitis (yeah, I made that up), I've started hitting the gym regularly.  Most of the time I end up going in the evening after work.  But I've found thats a tough time.  There are a lot of days when I'm just too exhausted. For the longest time, a friend of mine who is a personal... [Read more...]

What do Tank, Jagged Edge, Lyfe Jennings, J. Holiday and CeCe Winans all have in common?  Answer: They are all part of the 2010 Sisterhood Showcase and will be performing this weekend (June 5 & 6) at the Memphis Cook Convention Center (255 North Main Street, 38103).  Besides the great entertainment lineup, there will be cooking demonstrations, a comedy... [Read more...]

If you've ever seen Russell Brand's standup routine, you'll wonder why it took Hollywood this long to get him A-list billing. The guy is hilarious. Oh yeah, and there is a cameo of Sean "P. Diddy" Combs in the movie. You know if P. Diddy is in it, the movie is official!  Get Him to the Greek opens in theaters this weekend.  Check out the trailer! Need movie... [Read more...]
