AFCA Announces 2009 Awards

J.J. Abrams' relaunched Star Trek came in second place in the Austin Film Critics Association best movies of the year poll (announced today), thus narrowly avoiding the rumored resignation of more than one member**.

Can You Dig It?!

Walter Hill's 1979 gang-warfare flick The Warriors is, hands (and knives, baseball bats, and bullets) down our favorite Big, Rotten Apple Movie. It captured a definitively unpretty moment in New York City's gritty history and top-loaded it with with everything from Greek mythopoeics to cooly surreal action set-pieces and gutter panache.

We're approaching the home stretch for entrants in the Independent Games Festival. Was this a terrible idea? Maybe. But when you're looking at games 200-250 of 304 there's no turning back. And that's good for you, because there's some fine free online gaming to be had in letters "p" through "s."

This Season's Funniest New Show, 'The League'
