The smaller, but not necessarily less important WB network has announced its fall schedules, and there are no surprises. The big hits stay, maybe on a different night, and new guys are brought in to keep the network somewhat competitive. WB has proved year after year that all you need is one good show, possibly [...]
Right off the bat, I gotta tell you – I like the show. I’ve tuned in from the very first episode (you know, the one without the commercial interruptions, proving that the network does not need to resort to breaks, if the advertising is embedded). But lately, I’m concerned with just how long this pace [...]
The once-unstoppable network has announced its partial fall lineup today, a little ahead of FOX, ABC and CBS, and the despair is showing. It’s not very obvious, especially if you don’t look where some of the shows are being moved, why other shows are being canned, and what new shows are about. Not very obvious [...]
Hey, it’s that time of the year again. Some shows are canned, many are officially renewed, and some – are bound to exist in between for a few weeks or months, while the ratings/costs/revenues are being mulled by the corporate big wigs. Is your favourite show going to come back in the fall? Take a [...]
Right off the bat let me tell you that Hugh Laurie is a main attraction for this show. However, as medical dramas go, he’s definitely not the only doctor worth watching. The supporting cast is outstanding, the stories are engaging, and the show moves along quite nicely, without relying on expensive CGI effects or last [...]
At first I thought this would not win the Best Picture Oscar. I thought The Aviator was a lock because it was an epic and set in the past. Million Dollar Baby wasn’t an epic and is set in the present, plus was also the victim of controversy (Of which I’ll speak my ind about [...]
I still have a Rolling Stone issue I bought a year ago which lists what they consider the 50 Rock N’ Roll artists whom they call ‘the immortals’. They rank them all from 1st to 50th, and Ray Charles is #10. I’m sure most of you have seen the movie or rented the DVD by [...]
This small budget film appeared out of nowhere last fall (along with other small films like Million Dollar Baby, Sideways and Hotel Rwanda), captured the hearts of many, and went on to receive countless nominations and awards for writing, costumes, and performances. Well deserved, I must say, especially since the film doesn’t try to force [...]
ABC network is blowing its horn about the two best shows that are on TV this season – “Lost”, and “Desperate Housewives”. Sure, you won’t get any argument from me about “Lost” – well written, well-shot, intense, mysterious, and overall a good shot of adrenaline for a Wednesday night show. However, the second show – [...]
This is one movie in which you will be impressed and effected by. You will not leave the cinema unmoved. If you were to judge the Best Picture nominees by combination of acting, script and direction, I’d pick this as the winner. Basically this movie kept my interest from start to finish. It was very [...]
