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 [...]
As is the case with most good sitcoms, The Big Bang Theory has characters so deeply flawed to the levels of absurdity, we the viewers often wonder what kind of parenting and upbringing could result in such an outcome. Then we realize that these are fictional characters, they have no parents, and had no upbringing. [...]
Two weeks ago, I theorized the broadcast order of The Big Bang Theory was shuffled. I based this accusation on new character Bernadette’s unceremonious debut and integration without explanation. Contrary to these assumptions, Bernadette was actually introduced in episode five of this season, The Creepy Candy Coating Corollary. Seeming to mock my lack of attention [...]
As I’ve said previously, The Big Bang Theory survives solely because of its humorous components. If said humor disappeared from the show, its appeal would be nonexistent. This week’s episode proves this axiom, dropping everything appealing in favor of displaying its poorest quality: storytelling. This week’s episode begins with a plotline appearing from nowhere; resident [...]
The Big Bang Theory does one thing well: it tells jokes. As far as sitcoms go, this is enough to consider a show a success. The storylines are bland and unengaging, and the characters are one-dimensional silhouettes, but as long as the jokes stay bountiful, I’ll continue to tune in. This week’s episode began with [...]
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. There [...]
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 [...]
The Big Bang Theory is usually a tightly constructed show. 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 [...]
Amongst the world of movies we all try to break away and at least catch up on some form of television. Whether that would be reality TV shows, hardcore dramas or lighthearted comedies, each one of us has our preference. We delve into the lighthearted comedy as the season premiere of the hit TV show [...]
