Written, directed and edited by Micah Brock, and inspired by the beat em up games of the early 1990′s such as Streets of Rage, Final Fight and Double Dragon, Slug Street Scrappers 3 is a fantastic independent action movie that features a whole wealth of martial artists including Shaun Charney, Katelyn Brooke, Micah “Kwonkicker” Brock, Anna Ranoso, Tess Kielhamer, Dominic Sherman, Andy Le, Brian Le, Mari Saito, Rocky Chavez, Maggie Clarke, Narayana Cabral, Mason Sharrow, Joe Clarke and Blake Lindquist.
Bruiser Bom-Bash, a man who holds the coveted Scrapper title of, “Toughest in Town”, is well-known on Slug Street… and well-loathed. He is particularly hated by former title-holder, Peaches Powers (who also happens to be his ex-girlfriend). To this day, Peaches has never learned why she was dumped by Bruiser, and has never forgiven him for it. But, when new facts about the purpose of the Slug Street Scrappers come to light,...

A funny thing happened when Martin Freeman was cast as Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit: almost everyone on the Internet went ‘Well, obviously he’s the right person for the role’. Rarely do you get such a consensus online: when any classic role is cast there’s usually a cry of ‘he’s too young/old/English/Bolivian/short/tall/funny-looking/normal-looking/Un-Bolivian’ but almost the entire population of the world simply nodded and admitted – yep, Freeman is Baggins.
It’s more than just the fact he looks, well, quite Hobbit-y, he has a body of work that has made him one of the most likeable screen presences Britain has produced in a while. Early reaction to public and private screenings of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey are that he’s playing the role perfect, but until we can judge for ourselves with the film landing in cinemas today, here...

This edition features another arty, short film sitting proudly at the number one spot. I bet you’ve been dying for another one. You have? See, I knew it!
Apart from the short-film we have the cooking guide to top all cooking guides, a topical prank, material from an under-appreciated comedy show and some more from a wonderfully appreciated comedy show...
As always, enjoy!
5. The only way to reheat Pizza.
I believe that this clip will not only brighten your week, it will brighten your hangovers forever-more!
The narrator instructs you how to reheat pizza in a fashion that recreates the pizza’s original texture and flavours. No more soggy micro-waved pizza, no more burnt oven-heated pizza!
All together now... nom-nom-nom!
4. Black Friday Shopping Prank
This short clip had me in stitches. The two protagonists of the clip are challenged to enter a supermarket on ‘Black Friday’ and ask for items on their shopping list.

Just who are the geekiest computer geeks of the large and small screen? Here’s Michael’s list of suggestions…
Jim Carrey had a point when he said, “Free cable is the ultimate aphrodisiac”, as frankly, anyone who can hand out free cable is going to be popular.
However, even The Cable Guy might find his social influence supplanted these days by the nearest computer geek. Gradually, computers have developed from a niche interest into something that everyone depends on to get through life. As a result, the computer geek has enjoyed a transformation from outcast to linchpin.
The geek is a stock character of both the big screen and the small. A character such as Garth from Wayne's World doesn't fit into our narrow definition of a computer geek. Does he use his Amiga to create a colourful poster for his friends’ rock concert? Yes. Does he put a...

I’m Ken Plume, and soon you’ll be listening to “A Bit Of A Chat” with me, Ken Plume.
In this episode, I chat with writer, actor, and (I’d wager) the quickest wit in the western world, David Mitchell.
Chances are, to most Americans, the name David Mitchell means very little… unless, of course, they have a friend, relation, or acquaintance by that name. I speak, however, of a brilliant comedian by that sobriquet who currently plies his trade in the sceptred isle of England.
A cursory glance at the offerings on YouTube will bring you up to speed on Mr. Mitchell, as well as his comedy partner Robert Webb - both of which, since their Cambridge Footlights days, have written and starred in Edinburgh Fringe productions, radio (That Mitchell & Webb Sound), a live tour, a trio of sketch shows (Bruiser, The Mitchell & Webb Situation, and That Mitchell...
