It only begins in Panic – this French-language production from Aardman Studios (Wallace and Gromit) journeys all the way to the center of the earth and back.

This Week's Waste of Time
In what will likely be one of my favorite games of the year, Time Fcuk takes a convoluted premise, turns up the creepy, and makes a free, online game that's long on fun. What's more, the game has a option for the user to create levels and post them for other people to play. Rest assured, Time Fcuk, lives up to its misspelled name and thoroughly messes with your head.

Ladies and Gentlemen (and Deer) ... The Highball!
Fantastic Fest Day Zero kicked off with a press screening of Zombieland and the grand opening of The Highball, bowling alley/bar/karaoke heaven/Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar adjunct, and -- whoa! -- deer, lasers, and enough crimson vinyl to outfit Winger, Warrant, and Whitesnake!

Fantastic Fest: The Future of 3D
If you're a local not already possessing an almighty (and long sold-out) badge to Fantastic Fest, you've still got a few options. Such as: Sunday's half-day of panels devoted to the future of 3D technology – a future so bright we had to wear shades for just about half the movies we saw this summer, it seemed.

Fantastic Fest: Dr. Ronald Chevalier at BookPeople
Reading is fundamental, sure, but Friday's reading at BookPeople is fundamentally a lie – a really fun lie, we should add. Because when you see Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords) at BookPeople on Friday, he'll be in character as the entirely fictitious sci-fi/fantasy novelist Dr. Ronald Chevalier.

Sharp Dressed Man
Last night, John Sharp followed in rival Bill White's recent footsteps by holding a fundraiser at the Senate Democratic hopefuls' local venue of choice, The Belmont. This time, it was all about women voters, women office holders, and women's rights.

They Are Motorhead, They Came and Kicked Your Ass
Rock and roll subgenres breed like rats and tend be just as impervious to the fickle whims of pop culture, and none are more durable than the British steel of unalloyed metal, heavy or otherwise. Case in point: Motorhead, the band, the brand, the lifestyle. They snatch passing trends and eat them for breakfast, probably with a whiskey chaser.

The Indictment Tango
Oh, isn't it all so grand? Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay can dance! Woo-hoo! Oh, hang on, isn't he still under indictment? Yes, he is, and it's still a serious issue. It just seems like this season of Dancing With the Stars will finished before the court case.
