Two actors, two faces and a two sided story. I smell an Oscar nod for Gosling…I see audience rejection of the film.
It’s October. A time when Ghoulies, Ghosties and Long-Legged Beasties roam the earth. But if you start seeing the ghost of a World War II Japanese kamikaze fighter pilot, you’re probably Enoch Brae, the central character of Restless. And that’s not a bad place to be. Enoch is an odd kid. If your name is Enoch [...]
“Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robots” get their day on the big screen in Real Steel, a movie that transcends the one-joke premise and is instead a heartwarming, fist-pumping mechanized fairy tale of a father and son coming together amid some of the baddest technology you’ll ever wish was really available. Not to bad for a [...]
Every CBS show is fighting for the desirable post-Super Bowl slot, which has proven to score big in recent history. Last year’s episode of “The Office” doubled its highest rankings ever. “Grey’s Anatomy”, “Survivor: Australia” and “Friends” have topped 37.9, 45.4 and 54.9 million viewers, respectively, in previous years when they snagged the spot.

We are all the end result of a lifetime of experiences. Who we are today has been directly decided by what we’ve seen, done, and been exposed to in the past. On tonight’s episode of The Big Bang Theory, we have insight into one of the most baffling minds on television: Sheldon Cooper’s. It’s [...]

It doesn’t matter if it’s an internationally bestselling novel, a Pulitzer Prize-winning poem or a pro-bono television article on an online entertainment magazine. Last week in my review of How I Met Your [...]

The nerdy heroes have one or two geeky adventures, seen through the judgmental, yet well-meaning eyes of neighbor Penny, while one or more of the nerds has an existential crisis about love life, hobby, and/or lifestyle issues. The humor begins with derisive laughter at the [...]
Throughout season five of How I Met Your Mother, protagonist and narrator Ted has been resigned mostly to the background. Occasionally plotlines about him and his new career as a professor of architecture come into focus, but by and large season five is all about the new relationship between supporting characters Barney and Robin. Tonight’s [...]
Tonight on The Amazing Race, the twelve remaining racers departed from the sweltering desert heat of Dubai for the chilly Atlantic winds of The Netherlands. All six teams departed, rushing to the airport like extras in a Godzilla movie before being brought to a screeching halt at the local airport, as the direct flights between [...]
The Amazing Race. Its name alone incites images of a grandiose adventure. It’s not just An Amazing Race, it’s The Amazing Race. A name that drives home the necessity of commitment and tenacity like a big-league slugger pumped full of steroids. The Race isn’t easy, and it is not for everyone. If you have difficulty [...]
What was supposed to be the original date for the 61rst Annual Primetime Emmys, September 20th, did the date slot tango and moved ahead to September 13th. Prior to this sudden date change, the Emmys were scheduled on that particular date but still wary towards the time of the NFL games that would take place [...]
