    The Fourth Kind is a docu-horror film made up of “real” footage and sound clips from an incident in Nome Alaska where residents who were having sleep issues, turned out to have been possibly abducted and experimented on by extra-terrestrial beings from another planet. As the film has been screened the Internet has been hotly debating as to whether this footage in the film is truly real, and not simply a Blair Witch inspired hoax. Web searches for the individuals named in the film seem to come to dead ends or viral websites that have disappeared as the release date for the film slowly…

    Down, Right, Fierce is a weekly column about the video games, television shows, movies, and books that geeks care about. But mostly it’s a soapbox for Chris Holzworth to stand on and bark out his unwarranted, unwanted, and unwelcome opinions Like a lot of gamers, I decided it was time to buy a PS3 when Sony (officially) announced the PS3 Slim and the $100 price-drop during Gamecom. But, like a lot of writers, I’m pretty poor.

    In last week’s newsletter (you are subscribed, right?) we announced our 2nd IndyHall Town Hall. We held one of these back in March when we were first thinking about moving from our Strawberry St. office into something bigger. It proved to be an extremely valuable format for getting the community up to speed, introducing people, and seeing progress forward. On Tuesday, October 27th, we’re doing it again. The first of what we hope to continue as quarterly Town Hall meetings will allow the entire community, not just the paying membership, to come together to find out about…

No, not the kind where we take off our clothes…the kind where we show off what we’ve been working on, what we’ve learned, and anything we might have to share with the group! In the past people have demoed projects, shared new tools they’d discovered that make their lives easier, or told stories about events they’d attended recently. Like a number of our other lunchtime events, these are open to the public and tend to be well attended. We’ve still got a few presentation spots open, so…

For those who don’t know, Weblinc is the web development/e-commerce company with many friends we’ve made through National Mechanics…mostly because Weblinc and National Mechanics are in the same building and have the same owners.

    Several people have asked me about the agenda for PSL 2.0 Weekend this Saturday and Sunday. And to be honest, I’ve been at a bit of a loss. Part of me wants to plan it out carefully, if only to make things more convenient for people who may miss parts of it. But the other part of me remembers that the most productive PSL working sessions — from our totally open leadership meeting in Jan 2008, to the Entrepreneur Expo organizing meeting in 2009, to our listserv open meeting last month — have had two essential ingredients: They’ve been loosely structured With a clear…

    Just three films into his career, is it fair to label Richard Kelly a one-hit wonder? The writer/director of Donnie Darko, has, in the eight years since his original cult fave, made the frenetically and stylistically over-the-top Southland Tales and now this woefully ineffectual thriller. After the convoluted hodge-podge of Southland, the seeming simplicity of this film's premise seemed to hold some promise: A mysterious stranger (Frank Langella) shows up at a family's doorstep, offers them a strange wooden box with a button on top and tells them if they push it they will receive a million…

    2009’s box office was categorically brimming with occult-thrillers (District 9, Paranormal Activity, 2012)—so its no surprise that Olatunde Osunsanmi strategically timed his directorial debut in order to join the ranks of his extra-terrestrial cohorts. Based on what Universal Studios, and a ‘Dr. Abigail Tyler’ claim to be real events, the film is a faux-documentary set in a remote Alaskan town that aims to uncloak the mystery of its annual civic disappearances that began in the 1960’s. And while local police officials claim that these vanishing residents can be…

    Sex and suicide make for strangely compatible bedfellows in Philip Roth’s latest novella, a bawdy and introspective tale that bubbles over with black humor whenever death or perversion threaten to kill the buzz. Roth’s anti-hero, renowned stage actor Simon Axler, has lost his mojo in the twilight of his career. Suddenly and inexplicably, the once flawless and instinctual thespian can’t utter a monologue to save his life. And those are indeed the stakes as the taunting reviews pile up and Axler descends into a suicidal depression that destroys his marriage and lands him in…

By the time the last few beats of the swaggering NYC anthem -- repping  the lights of the Big Apple and putting the Yankees on a glittering pedestal --  had faded out, DiBattista knew what he had to do. The result was “Ill State of Mind” -- a hip-hop track that speaks to what Philly denizens most value: the city's history, culture and sports…

The 30-year-old running back injured his ankle in the Eagles' Week 2 loss to the New Orleans Saints, sat out one game and got just eight touches in another.

    OLB Clay Matthews. DE Larry English. CB Alphonso Smith. Just a few of the names projected as players the New England Patriots would draft with the 23rd overall pick. Instead the Pats traded out of the first round, stockpiled more picks, and used all four second round picks.  Probably the biggest surprise regarding New England’s draft class is that all 12 players made the final roster. Even DT Darryl Richard wasn’t visited by the turk.  It may take one to three years to find out if the whole draft class pans out or which ones get left on the side of the road. But how do…

We know you were in a bit of shock about the whole Democrats-losing-elections thing (we're equal opportunity pundit haters around here), but don't you think you still could have maybe proofread your screen titles? Captured during The Rachel Maddow Show by the lovely and talented Jenn DiSanto. Proofreading Philly tries to capture typos, wordos, and all other kinds of grammatical mistakes that we see around the city. But we need your help! Email photos to us from your computer or your phone, and show the city that you care about good grammar.

    27 Sep 2009 | 1:13 pm
    piazza partyTake a stroll down 2nd street in Northern Liberties and you'll end up at the latest "place to be" in the city... the Piazza at Schmidts. The Piazza is an 80,000 square-foot, open-air plaza with free events year-round. It is filled with artists' studios, cool boutiques and four bars/restaurants. The space is inspired by the famous meeting areas in Italy and is just an awesome and unique place to hang. Yes, that IS a giant tv screen showing the WFC's right on the wall. This guy likes to play around here as well. I guess if you like it a lot, you can live here with 3 condo buildings…

On the other hand, we saw McNabb go down. Will he be back next week? Will we see a certain #7 take a snap or two soon? Time will tell.Next week... it starts at our house as pictured above. Get ready for the parking lot. Stay classy Philly!Still...I so miss this guy.

    The Obama economic stimulus plan provides $100 billion for schools over the next two years, almost doubling the federal education budget. To qualify for much of the money, states will have to provide data showing progress in student achievement -- giving the edge to districts such as Montgomery that already have systems in place.

  • The Box

    Just three films into his career, is it fair to label Richard Kelly a one-hit wonder? The writer/director of Donnie Darko, has, in the eight years since his original cult fave, made the frenetically and stylistically over-the-top Southland Tales and now this woefully ineffectual thriller. After the convoluted hodge-podge of Southland, the seeming simplicity of this film's premise seemed to hold some promise: A mysterious stranger (Frank Langella) shows up at a family's doorstep, offers them a strange wooden box with a button on top and tells them if they push it they will receive a million…

  • The Fourth Kind

    2009’s box office was categorically brimming with occult-thrillers (District 9, Paranormal Activity, 2012)—so its no surprise that Olatunde Osunsanmi strategically timed his directorial debut in order to join the ranks of his extra-terrestrial cohorts. Based on what Universal Studios, and a ‘Dr. Abigail Tyler’ claim to be real events, the film is a faux-documentary set in a remote Alaskan town that aims to uncloak the mystery of its annual civic disappearances that began in the 1960’s. And while local police officials claim that these vanishing residents can be…

  • The Humbling

    Sex and suicide make for strangely compatible bedfellows in Philip Roth’s latest novella, a bawdy and introspective tale that bubbles over with black humor whenever death or perversion threaten to kill the buzz. Roth’s anti-hero, renowned stage actor Simon Axler, has lost his mojo in the twilight of his career. Suddenly and inexplicably, the once flawless and instinctual thespian can’t utter a monologue to save his life. And those are indeed the stakes as the taunting reviews pile up and Axler descends into a suicidal depression that destroys his marriage and lands him in…

  • Cover Story: "Ill State of Mind"

    Nick DiBattista was driving on the Roosevelt Boulevard when he first heard Jay Z’s “Empire State of Mind” on Power 99. “Where’s my Philly version?” asked a Power 99 DJ after the track finished. By the time the last few beats of the swaggering NYC anthem -- repping  the lights of the Big Apple and putting the Yankees on a glittering pedestal --  had faded out, DiBattista knew what he had to do. The result was “Ill State of Mind” -- a hip-hop track that speaks to what Philly denizens most value: the city's history, culture and sports…

  • Sixers squeak past winless Nets; Brand sits majority of game

    Mike Santa Barbara
    6 Nov 2009 | 6:55 pm
    With the win-less New Jersey Nets playing with out Yi Jianlian, Chris Douglas-Roberts and Devin Harris this figured to be a cake walk for the Sixers Friday night. It wasn’t. It was a seesaw game and the Sixers were able to battle through 22 lead changes, for a 97-94 victory. Louis Williams continued his impressive start to the season finishing with a team high 18 points. Elton Brand only played a little over 18 minutes, being benched in favor of Willie Green. Green allowed the Sixers a smaller line-up as the Nets seemed to be frustrating Brand, in-turn slowing down the normally…

    Kevin from NittanyWhiteOut and Examiner is back to offer his thoughts on this weekend’s local college football action. The Temple Owls now have the same record as Ohio State. Read that sentence again. Temple and Ohio State have the same record. At least for one more day. Temple needed a late field goal to pick up their seventh straight win and stay atop the MAC East division last night. Temple defeated visiting Miami (of Ohio) 34-32 after giving up 19 points in the fourth quarter. These Owls sure know how to make things interesting don’t they? With three games to play in the…

You’ve been very busy lately. That much is obvious. The Phillies may not have repeated, but there’s certainly plenty of baseball to excited about in 2010. For now though, it’s time to say farewell to the boys of summer, and welcome back the boys of winter. The warriors of snow and ice have already been to battle 12 times so far. They may be fourth place in the division, but they had…

    First on GM Ed Stefanski’s “To Do List” last off-season was hiring a new head coach. In a very close second was figuring out what to do, if anything, with point guard Andre Miller. Popular opinion was that Miller would cost too much money to keep around on a team that wasn’t ready to compete in the East. Then again, there was a shortage of options to replace him as well. While the front office mulled over what to do, Lou Williams sat by patiently waiting for the opportunity. He got that opportunity when Andre Miller signed with the Portland Trailblazers. Many thought…

    Mike Santa Barbara
    4 Nov 2009 | 1:49 pm
    Alright, so the Sixers are 2-2 a week into this young NBA season, and they’ve won and lost the 2 games most people would have predicted. Losing to perhaps the top 2 teams in the Eastern Conference, the Magic and the Celtics. While beating the Bucks and Knicks, who both seem destined to finish in the Eastern Conference basement. In both losses they showed that they can grow into a better team. The Sixers had early leads against both Boston and Orlando, only to watch them pull away in the second half. Basically, the Sixers don’t shoot nearly as consistently from the field as the…
