Zero Effect

The 2000s. The decade of the douchebag. Winner.

To the last ten years of public figures who transgress, in the open for all to see, especially Tiger Woods, columnist Frank Rich's Person of the Year and my favorite for Douchebag of the Decade, we say Happy 2010! May the next decade of dreadful, shocking falls from celebrity grace be as prosperous to gossip spreaders and the entertainment-starving public as the previous so gloriously was.

25th Dour

Our list of the ten best films of the decade concludes with one of the best films from any decade, 25th Hour, director Spike Lee and writer David Benioff's virtuoso New York City lament on the plight of a man who walks his dog into oblivion under the twin shadows of regret and what could have been.

Dare Will Be Blood

Our list of the ten best films of the decade continues with a cinematic landmark, regardless of decade, There Will Be Blood, writer director Paul Thomas Anderson's daring masterwork about God, oil and milkshakes colliding head-on at the turn of an American century.

Calf Nelson

Our list of the ten best films of the decade continues with Half Nelson, a story about I don't know, I don't know.

Sin the Food for Love

Our list of the ten best films of the decade continues with director Wong Kar Wai's In the Mood for Love, a film so breathtaking and poetic and perfect, it can do no wong, I mean, wrong.

No Country for Cold Men

Our list of the ten best films of the decade continues with No Country for Old Men, the Coen Brothers' pitch perfect adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's literary examination of cold blood American violence.

Crouching Tiger, Forbidden Dragon

Our list of the ten best films of the decade continues with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which, as its title would suggest, tells a story about two masculine ranch hands for hire who fall in forbidden love on a mountain, in the clouds.

Done Baby Done

Like finding a missing child, our list of the ten best films of the decade happily discovers a twelfth in Gone Baby Gone, a movie about finding missing children and keeping them as far away from Ed Harris as possible.

Garden Late

Our list of the ten best films of the decade continues with an eleventh, Garden State, an irresistibly cute coming to grips tale about quirky, pretentious, aloof middle aged twenty-year olds coping with the non-negotiable life demands of the Shins.

Bill Kill

Our list of the ten best films of the decade continues with Kill Bill, a movie whose title, along with Inglourious Basterds, implies a sordid true story of the American health care debate, instead of what they actually are: fabulously cinematic, popular culture-obsessed revenge epics that only Quentin Tarantino can deliver.

The Defarted

We continue our list of the ten best films of the decade with The Departed, a weirdo thrashing mainstream gangster thriller crammed with bullets exiting through heads like a wet, blood drenched gaseous bowel movement, that somehow grossed north of $100 million in box office and earned Martin Scorsese a long overdue Oscar for Best Picture and Director.

Yo Yo

We continue our list of the ten best films of the decade with Yi Yi, a heartfelt, lovingly authentic portrait about the up, down trials of one family as realized by those who do family best, the Asians.

The Lord of the Ings

Our list of the ten best films of the decade continues with The Lord of the Rings, a grand, monumental big screen spectacle that has amassed more public acclaim through words ending with the suffix -ing, words like amazing, spellbinding, mindblowing, bestevering, than any film before it.

Miami Nice

Our list of the ten best films of the decade begins with Miami Vice, the finest looking, well-dressed, fully-automatic, macho-male fantasy cum police procedural crime drama since the last time Michael Mann directed this kind of movie, which is every time.

Monkey See, Monkey DUI

Here's to happiness. Here's to thieving alcoholic monkeys.

Bear It

Must ribbon, ribbon, ribbon, ribbon. This one is 'cause he ain't livin'. Ownin' a monkey don't seem so right. It doesn't matter he's lost his life. Just ribbon, ribbon, ribbon, ribbon. Ribbon, ribbon.

Soon, compact discs will only be used for sitting on, because Apple just bought this.

A Shoe Hope

As this footwear and apparel collection suggests, adidas should have made the new Star Wars movies instead of George Lucas. Or better yet, no one should have.

Whites Only

I'm dreaming of a white shoe Christmas. Just like the ones I used to wear. Where shell toes glisten, and children listen, to hear rock the bells in the snow.

Luck Beach a Lady

Nia Peeples turns 38 this week and the best surfers in the world will celebrate by riding the big one.

Han So Low

Then and now.

For some, a career in Hollywood can cause the same kind of relentless facial degradation as a methamphetamine addiction. For others, crazy sex photos.

You forget how tore up Gun Hill Road is. This joint is a reminder.

Sticking It to the Man

From the creators of the Story of Stuff, comes the next animated chapter in the oversimplification of really difficult to understand complex issues with severe environmental consequences whose proposed solutions will continue the wealth and power for people who are already wealthy and powerful starring stick figures, the Story of Cap and Trade.

The shockingly immersive official website for Ron Artest is so heavy in rich media, it feels as if it should be promoting the next Hollywood blockbuster instead of a Hennessy halftime drinking professional basketball player. But it is.

New Jack Twitty

New York City gangs are playing the tweet life, because Facebook's a place they don't go. Tweet life, it`s the only life they know. Tweet life, and there`s one hundred forty parts to play. Tweet life, until you tweet your life away.
