One of the most interesting things to observe in the movie industry is the trajectory an actor’s career takes once they gotten some awards recognition for the first time. Too often, they’ll exchange the kudos for big paychecks courtesy of crap studio films, rationalizing that they’ll do “one for them” and “one for me,” ostensibly … Continue reading →
The least newsworthy, and most buzzworthy, of stories in the last twenty-four hours has been the Pope’s publicized condemnation of certain trends in entertainment as "perversion[s]". Video games are explicitly mentioned, as is Benedict XVI’s further opinion that such media marketed to children is "all the more repulsive." I’m not exactly sure what he thinks … Continue reading →

Tim Minear, mastermind behind the fast-cancelled The Inside and Wonderfalls, announced last week the revised cast list for his FOX midseason series Drive. Drive, whose pilot script read like the opening of Magnolia meets Cannonball Run with the "all will be revealed" attitude Lost made oh-so-popular, focuses on (in case you couldn’t tell) a secret … Continue reading →

I love television. One of my earliest memories is of watching Ronald Reagan and being taught that in our household, we called him "the Boo-Hiss Man." My father, a television critic and historian for over twenty years, bought a television set specifically to watch Gulf War I coverage while he cooked dinner for my younger … Continue reading →
