A moment of praise for JetBlue, since on any other airline on a Tuesday night I’d have had The King Of Queens or some shitty McConaughey movie (pick one) foisted upon me. JetBlue gives me my own TV and allows me to make my own choices, and so naturally I chose to watch … Continue reading
This most recent episode brought us one of the best comedic set-pieces in the history of Rescue Me. Which is saying plenty, since however else you’d want to argue its merits, this is one of the more consistently funny shows ever. Even against those elevated standards, the episode was a standout. Beginning … Continue reading
If every era receives the hero we deserve, then what does that say for the era of Dancing With The Stars? This here magazine cover does not bode well for the re-badass-ification of America: http://www.ew.com/ew/inside/issue/0,,ewTax:10441045,00.html Whereas most comic book covers attempt to depict a Wolverine who can’t wait to rip shit … Continue reading
Tuesday the 14th’s episode was another solid start to the season. Good things are clearly on the way. Of course, good things are happening already, but since there’s still time for new viewers to jump on this season, I don’t want to be spoiler guy.

Yesterday I listed ten of the twenty most memorable bad guys from the history of cinema (as I have experienced it). Today I finish the job. These ten here are some real fuckers: Number 10: William Atherton as Walter Peck in Ghostbusters. What can I say that … Continue reading
Magazines are a rapidly dying species, but the cover of the most recent Entertainment Weekly is a reminder of why they can be worthwhile. The feature story highlights their picks for the Top 20 Heroes and the Top 20 Villains of all time, and while their list is necessarily tilted towards the obvious … Continue reading
I know, I Love You Man is not the name of a new superhero; I Love You, Man is in fact a week-old release which I just saw, and liked, a lot. Not much story or conflict going on there, but it’s just two hours of a great ensemble cast obviously having a … Continue reading
With the other day’s announcement that the Three Stooges movie is finally getting off the ground, I think it’s time to reconsider the fine art of the Impossible Project. There may be no subgenre of film that thrills me more than those which by all normal laws of science and reality should not … Continue reading
