Indy might have some serious competition. Not in a direct sense (Indiana Jones franchise is well established and is set in 30s and 40s, way before this movie), but in a “charismatic-hero-who-punches-first-and-asks-questions-later” kinda way. A fast-paced, intelligent adventure movie is difficult to find these days (“The Lord of the Rings” lacked the speed, and “The [...]

I’ve drooled in anticipation ever since I saw the trailers, and that makes me biased. However, bias or not, you gotta hand it to Robert Rodriguez – he’s known for pushing the envelope for directing style, editing style, casting decisions. And, at the end of the day, if you only know him from the El [...]

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 am still seething from Monday’s episode. Yes, while the rest of the civilized world was watching NFL, and suddenly got a glimpse of women’s breasts (and while we’re on this topic – how long are we going to keep witnessing wardrobe malfunctions that are nothing but awkward ploys to promote shows?), I tuned in [...]

Before I tell about the movie I just have to say I recently watched a rerun of VH1′s 100 Most Shocking Moments in Rock ‘N Roll. Those interested in what the hundred are, the list is at this location: It’s an interesting list: Michael Jackson, the Stones and the Beatles have four moments on the [...]

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 – [...]

Last Comic Standing was canceled. Yes, the network was getting panicky about ratings, and canned this show one episode before completion. Makes sense, right – first they overexpose a good, funny show, and then, when people begin to tune out, they just can it. Instead, you’re forced to watch the Katzenberg marathon, and his “Lions [...]

“George is gettin’ upset!” Jason Alexander is back in this family comedy, that at first seems just like any other. However, add to the tired formula a defiant, rebellious daughter, a competitive co-worker, and an ever-growing list of “things that piss me off”, and you got a good, watchable 30 minute show. Airing on CBS, [...]

Well, the Emmys have blown into town, all the red carpets have unfolded, the reporters have harassed the celebs long enough, and a few million people have tuned in to watch. Here’s what we saw… Gary Shandling did a good job hosting. Despite his “whiny” delivery, the jokes covered many topics, but of course, mainly [...]
