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 [...]
#1, 2, and 3 biggest problem I have with Community (and Glee) is their distasteful meta-awareness. Specifically Community and Abed are standing on the wrong side of that line, not sure how much longer I can watch this. What’re your thoughts on this subject? Season two of the third (yes, I’m calling Glee a comedy!) best new comedy [...]
MODERN FAMILY WON A TON OF EMMYS! I believe that covers the first five minutes of episode one season two. Okay, maybe I prefer a little more humility than the silver screen has to offer. I was happy to see the good people at Modern Family open the new season with their bread and butter- [...]
Tonight’s episode marked the return of four memorable characters. First there’s Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner’s son Marten as Sally’s neighborhood buddy Glen. Then there’s Pete’s wife Trudy played by Alison Brie whom you must recognize from NBC’s Community. Clean and sober Freddy, and Lee Garner Junior round out our foursome. Glen. I’ve blocked Glen’s [...]
“So here’s what you missed on Glee” With Regionals looming Vocal Adrenaline successfully puts New Directions in a funk. Funky Quinn and Mercedes friendship takes a big step- Mercedes asks Quinn to move into the extra bedroom at her house. Will gets sweet disgusting revenge on Sue and we all have to witness it. “And [...]
Gleeks unite! September 14th Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment releases the complete first season of GLEE on Blu-ray and DVD! You better believe there’s extras, here’s what series creator Ryan Murphy had to say about all of those wonderful extras you’ll find only on the four-disc Blu-ray and seven-disc DVD set- “The show started out [...]
They did it again. They literally told the story of the phrase “jump the shark” and that’s exactly what we should expect from Community. When this first season started we thought the references were cute, fun and we were proud of ourselves for recognizing (the ones that we didn’t miss). Of course the references that [...]
First I’ve gotta talk about last week’s episode “Modern Warfare” which much like “Contemporary American Poultry” was a reference fest and pushed Community further down the runway toward that pool containing a shark. Let’s be clear: I don’t believe Community has jumped the shark yet. Yet. When they do, they will most likely put laser beams [...]
Jason Segel (How I Met Your Mother) and Ed Helms (The Office) are joining the Duplass Brothers’ stoner comedy Jeff Who Lives At Home. Helms most recently made the successful jump from the small screen to the big screen in last Summer’s hit comedy The Hangover while Segel starred in I Love You, Man as [...]
