Of all of the recent animated DC shows to hit the small screen, I liked Superman the least. It had none of the stylish ambience of Batman and it only rarely had the widescreen kick-butt action of Justice League Unlimited. But one thing it had going for it over the other shows was its spot-on … Continue reading
Sure, John Milton’s Paradise Lost is a 400 page poem written in blank verse, but at its heart is a great story, which has found its way into the very heart of Christian mythology.

For me, it’s always kind of odd to refer to Mary Lynn Rajskub as 24’s Mary Lynn Rajskub. I know that’s her signature now, but I’ve never bothered watching the show. To me, she’s the comedy chick from Mr. Show and The Larry Sanders Show, and she always will be. Great for her that she’s … Continue reading

Of course fresh isn’t exactly on the menu with these shows due to the meandering craziness of them, but you get … Continue reading
I’ve got a lot of respect for the working actor — it takes massive dedication to show up for bit parts, commercials and godawful corporate/industrial projects day in and day out. Hundreds and hundreds of unheralded folks make their living fleshing out the stuff we watch on TV and in the theater. And sometimes, all … Continue reading
The best thing about Monday morning is the flood of Oh Don Piano! news coming out of the weekend junkets. And though this might look like an attention-getting Monday morning fake, it’s probably going to happen. IESB is reporting that at the junket for Shooter, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura was talking up G.I. Joe, which … Continue reading
You may or may not remember that back in 2005, there was an impending thriller with a lot of star power attached called Lonely Hearts. The film – starring John Travolta, James Gandolfini, Jared Leto, Salma Hayek, and Laura Dern – was a 40s set true crime story about murderous lovers (Leto and Hayek) who … Continue reading
