This week, I was browsing around and couldn’t believe some of these deals. You can get a netgear wireless router for less than twenty dollars! I wish I had found this deal before I bought mine. I bought mine from Walmart for around seventy dollars. There could be an extra fifty dollars in my pocket right now! And, the shipping on this product is free! I started thinking it was too good to be true, but a read a lot of the reviews on this product. Out of 122 ratings, it got 4.5 stars out of 5.

I also found a 100 Maxell 16x DVD-R pack for under $20! I recently just bought a laptop with a DVD burner on it, and I am so ready to use it. I didn’t think I would be able to find so many dvd-r’s for such a great price though!

Seriously, check it out! There are so many great deals on ipod speakers, tv’s, digitial cameras, printers, and etc. These weekly sale ads are awesome! I wish I had found this site sooner!!

Anyway, I think it’s neat that the chick that used to have some kind of skin disease won one of the seasons. I feel like it’s motivating to the people that have flaws that they can’t really help. I think some people could just use some acne scar removal and would make amazing models. It’s crazy how much something like that would boost your confidence about yourself.

In particular, I cannot wait for Sherlock Holmes to come out! You know that it will sell out fast in stores. I’m planning on pre-ordering mine! This movie was probably one of my favorites in a long time. It’s nice that I can pre-order it to make sure one is available for me. And, I can have it sent to my home, so I don’t have to fight off people in stores or wait in a line! Excellent!

Now all I need to do is get a blu-ray player. Then this movie will be even better! My friend has one, and it’s amazing.  You see things on a blue-ray player that you didn’t even know existed on a regular dvd player.  For example, if you’ve ever seen the movie Monster’s Inc., the big blue hairy guy looks amazing on a blue-ray player.  You can see each hair folicle the way it was designed to look.  I can’t wait!

Also, places like Western Governors University is supported by over 20 major corporations. It’s an accredited school that allows you to learn where you want and when you want.

I think it’s also a great program for people that have been out of school for a while, and don’t want to go back with a bunch of young, drama-filled students. There are online mba programs in Master of Business Administration, M.B.A. Information Technology Management, and M.B.A. Healthcare Management.

I say, Check it out!

Sarah Silverman stopped by the RS offices yesterday to treat us to an impromptu song about stopping by the RS offices. She also gave Peter Travers a rundown of what we can expect on The Sarah Silverman Program this season (an episode devoted to Sarah’s mustache, a show about the conflict that arises when she and her sister open competing Holocaust memorials), and opened up about her love of *Damages* and *Precious*, feeling manipulated by *Up*, and the types of film roles she’d like (Helena Bonham Carter in *Fight Club*) as opposed to the ones she gets offered (“You’re the bitchy girlfriend that he’s with before he realizes what love could be”). Watch the full interview now!

There’s some bad news for all you who wanted to kill time at the multiplex this weekend before the Super Bowl: In this installment of *At the Movies*, Rolling Stone’s Peter Travers says it’s a bleak, bleak week for new films. You pretty much have two new flicks entering theaters this weekend, and they’re both pretty awful.

Let’s start with From Paris With Love, which is not a foreign film about romance in France as the title suggests. Instead, it’s an action flick starring John Travolta as a spy who assassinates people in increasingly bombastic ways. The title is a take on the James Bond film From Russia With Love, but From Paris misses the mark big time. Travolta is in his full zany Taking of Pelham 123 mode once again in this film by Pierre Morel, who in 2008 directed Liam Neeson in an action film called Taken, which Travers says is far superior to this film one.

Peter Travers unleashes his anger at *The Blind Side*’s nomination in a special edition of “Damn You, Hollywood!”

Ten shots for Best Picture, and *The Blind Side* gets a nod? What about smaller movies, like *Moon* with Sam Rockwell — did you ever think of nominating him? Tilda Swinton in *Julia*? Abbie Cornish in *Bright Star*? How about some fresh thinking? Watch Peter Travers’ full rant above.

Plus, check out what Travers thought would get nominated for the 2010 Oscars.

On Tuesday AM, the Academy of Motion Picture Old Farts & Sciences will announce its 2010 Oscar nominations, including 10 candidates instead of the usual five for Best Picture. Here are my predictions in the major categories with some side notes on long shots and who will get royally screwed. Play along, why don’t you? And feel free to tell me where I’ve screwed up big time.

**Best Picture**

• *Avatar*

• *The Hurt Locker*

• *Up in the Air*

• *Precious*

• *Inglourious Basterds*

• *An Education*

• *District 9*

• *Up*

• *Invictus*

• *A Serious Man*

**Maybes**: *Star Trek, The Hangover, (500) Days of Summer, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Blind Side* (please gods of cinema, don’t let this happen!)

**Most Deserving But It Won’t Get In**: *The Messenger*

This weekend marks Mel Gibson’s big return to the silver screen, and Rolling Stone movie critic Peter Travers is here to tell you his take on the vengeance flick Edge of Darkness. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen Gibson — Signs in 2002 was his last major role — and the man we used to know as Mad Max, Brett Maverick and Martin Riggs doesn’t quite have those matinee-handsome looks anymore that made him a star all those years back. Still, Gibson is effective as a Boston cop who seeks revenge against those responsible for killing his daughter before his eyes.

For the dead of winter, Edge of Darkness is an “OK B-film,” Travers says, with director Martin Campbell adequately turning his epic six-hour British miniseries into a sub-two-hour revenge film. Still, the third act sort of falls off the rails as Gibson’s own policeman operates outside the law, but if you’ve really, really missed Gibson’s onscreen persona these past eight years, then you should probably go check out Edge as Mel doesn’t disappoint.

Since January is traditionally the worst month for new film releases, this week’s At the Movies is a guide to what not to see this weekend. Rolling Stone critic Peter Travers’ Scum Bucket runneth over starting with The Tooth Fairy, starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as a hockey player whose
punishment for telling a girl that the tooth fairy doesn’t exist is a two-week community service as the fairy. Yes, it’s for kids, but that’s not a good enough excuse for how horrible this film is.

Similarly terrible is Extraordinary Measures, starring Brendan Fraser and Harrison Ford. In this film, the man who played Han Solo, Indiana Jones and Blade Runner turns in a Lifetime-worthy performance as an eccentric doctor who helps Fraser create a cure for Pompe disease. It’s based on a true story, and while the reality of the story might be riveting, the film itself is TV movie quality.

It’s still January *At the Movies*, and even though the month is regarded as a proverbial cinematic cesspool, Rolling Stone movie critic Peter Travers has found a pair of worthwhile films hitting theaters this weekend, including Denzel Washington’s Book of Eli. In this post-apocalyptic action film from directors the Hughes Brothers, Washington plays a ruthless killer in possession of civilization’s last Bible. The film is full of religious parables, but counter-weighted by copious amounts of ultra-violence.

Much like we saw in The Road, the apocalypse will evidently come with desaturated colors and sepia tones. Still, this is the first Hughes Brothers film in over a decade, and Denzel as always steals each scene. During Oscar season, it’s OK to look past a film like this, but in the dog days of January, Book of Eli is one of the better pictures out there. Also worth checking out: Fish Tank, a nearly great small British film about a teenager’s trials and tribulations.

Last week, I asked you to weigh in on *Avatar*’s chances of winning the Best Picture Oscar this year, and whether you think it deserves to win. The response was heated and divided. Most of you enjoyed the movie without thinking it belonged in the Oscar time capsule.

Daybreakers star Willem Dafoe stopped by the Rolling Stone offices to answer Peter Travers’ burning questions this week: why is he the only vampire actor to be nominated for an Oscar? Why is he called Willem? And perhaps most importantly, why does he defend Body of Evidence? “Sometimes movies are taken and held up as whipping boys and people pile all their envy, confusion, anger, jealousy on it,” he says.

Dafoe reveals he wouldn’t want to be frozen in time (“The fact that we don’t know when it’s going to end makes life a good game”), admits playing creepies even gets to him (“*Antichrist* haunted me”) and explains how the epic death scene from Platoon went down. Watch him slap a tambourine in precious parts of his body and tangle with Travers in the latest edition of *Off the Cuff*.
