Machete – from fake trailer to real movie

You remember those fake movie trailers in Tarantino’s Grindhouse? A couple of them played just before the first film, and a couple more – during the intermission. Looks like one of them is being made into a real movie – Machete with Danny Trejo. This is either another sign of the looming apocalypse (you know, [...]

Carla Gugino on Californication

Yay! Carla Gugino is back on regular TV (Californication). Her stint a few years back as Karen Sisco didn’t last long (only 9 episodes, not all aired), and the guest spots in Entourage a couple of seasons ago were fantastic, but also short (10 episodes). It’s good to see her back, and this show can [...]

Conan O’Brien begins his comedy tour

Conan’s “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television” comedy tour began last night in Eugene, Oregon. I still can’t believe this show sold out so quickly. Thirty (30!) stops, two months, and even a few visits to Canada (Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto), and I still was too late online to get a single ticket.

Jennifer Morrison back on House this Monday (FOX)

Jennifer Morrison (who played Dr. Cameron on House) is coming back next week. This is the big episode that Hugh Laurie was supposed to direct, and her guest-spot isn’t the only thing that I’m looking forward to. Apparently, the episode deals with a lockdown in the hospital (probably a virus attack, or a power outage), [...]

ABC finales are here

Only 3.5 episodes left. Or something along these lines. Lost is coming to an end, but don’t panic just yet. ABC happens to have quite a few amazing shows running, so you better start programming those VCRs, to get all your finales recorded. What are VCRs anyway? Here’s the list of the 2010 ABC finales.

Greatest 9,331 movies of all times

For the past 9 years (yes, it’s nine, not a typo), Brad Bourland, 58, of Austin, Texas has been rating/reviewing movies. He’s got 9,331 so far, and wants his site readers/visitors to help him complete it to a nice, round 10k. Obsession, hobby, or just another slick marketing ploy? Visit his site, read up on [...]

Alice in Wonderland (2010)

Tim Burton has done it again – a visual marvel of a film, a pretty close adaptation of a timeless classic book, great performances (although a little too heavy on screen time for Depp and Bonham Carter), and a lovely, rebellious Alice. What more do you need to know in order to run into theaters? [...]

Hot Tub Time Machine (2010)

First of all, kudos to the marketing campaign. This film heavily relies on word of mouth, we got a free screening (packed room, hardly any press, just people who got invites from eventful.com website). The screening was fun, we howled, took home t-shirts, and promised to tell others about it.  The movie is so much [...]

At the Movies is canceled

Disney/ABC is pulling the plug on the popular ‘movie-critics-going-at-each-other’ show in August. It lasted 24 years. As far as I know, At the Movies died when Roger Ebert lost his voice in 2006. Yes, Gene Siskel’s death in 1999 was a big blow to the show, but the two of them have been doing it [...]

Judy Greer will guest on Big Bang

Stunt-casting is always a game of chance – some guests misfire, no matter how well intended. This one might just be perfect. Judy Greer, a regular guest on Arrested Development, Love Monkey, Miss Guided, and more recently on Modern Family, House MD will be guest-starring in The Big Bang Theory. Apparently a one-night stand (or [...]
