I’m a fan of some older sitcoms. There are a few that Nick at Nite just don’t play all that much anymore, so I barely get a chance to catch them. Luckily, NBC Universal have come up with a solution, in which I hope they expand on.They just launched a new video service in the … Continue reading
Before the cornucopia of super hero movies that there are today, I remember sitting in my living room as a child, admiring the only one that truly mattered. He was brave, he was strong, and not to mention the fact that he was a talking dog.That’s right, folks: Underdog. You know, speed of lightning? Roar … Continue reading
All of the critic awards this week were just prelude to this, the real kick-off to Oscar fever: the Golden Globes nominations. The Golden Globes are, essentially, a joke – they’re given out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a nobody group who only recently stopped accepting expensive gifts from studios – but they’re seen … Continue reading
Like most folks, I enjoyed Pirates of the Caribbean. And, like most folks, I walked out of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest with my tender senses bludgeoned into the equivalent of a thousand-yard-stare and my bladder all stingy and numb. That was six months ago. This week, it looks like Pirates of the … Continue reading
EB White’s Charlotte’s Web is one of the most beloved children’s books of all time. It has previously been adapted into a musical cartoon, but everything old gets remade again in Hollywood, and now there’s a live action version hitting theaters this weekend.

We’re happy to bring you a very cool contest whose grand prize is perfect for putting you in the … Continue reading
If you, like me, are waiting for your chance to see how Justin Timberlake brings Sexy back to murdering naïve 15 year old kids in Alpha Dog, you may have to wait. Recent courtly maneuvering around the films portrayal of Jesse James Hollywood and Nicholas Markowitz may be a little too close to real-life and … Continue reading
George Clooney works a room from the second he walks in. Wearing a t-shirt that covers a back brace (that Syriana injury is still bothering him), Clooney entered my roundtable room at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel like it was filled with old buddies, like it was the one he was waiting for all day. This is … Continue reading
Here’s a testament to Will Smith’s inherent charisma: I would have despised The Pursuit of Happyness if it wasn’t for him. The film is the story of a man who is essentially dumb, and it has a right wing anti-homeless vibe running throughout it. And that’s not even addressing the movie’s inherently sappy and manipulative … Continue reading
My year end Top Fifteen list is still taking shape, and there are still a couple of movies that I have to see before I make my final decisions, but I feel like the top five has already been set – it’s just a matter of figuring out the order. And one of those five … Continue reading
