There really were Two and a Half Men

Roger Ebert presents At the Movies – coming in January 2011

The show that spanned over three decades is back. The show that got me (and a big chunk of my family) hooked on movies, er, on films – is heading back to television.

August TV premiere dates – Weeds, Ghosts, Shatner, Pitchman

I recently re-discovered IT Crowd, suddenly the show is making more sense than before. I’m also really enjoying Criss Angel’s Mindfreak, but probably for the wrong reasons. Still, the next few weeks will get you Shatner, Man vs. Wild, Ghost Hunters, Weeds, and Pitchman. All worthy shows, especially Weeds – I wonder how the season [...]

Dennis Hopper RIP; thanks for Easy Rider, man

“For a brief moment there, there really seemed to be an independent film movement. Then it was over.” That’s how Dennis Hopper has described the unexpected and massive popularity of his 1969 movie Easy Rider. The little fill really did come out of nowhere and established Hopper, Peter Fonda, and a very young Jack Nicholson [...]
