While I have no hate for Zach Braff or Rob Thomas, the creator of “Veronica Mars,” this is what a Kickstarter should be. The Kickstarter campaign for Armand Villavert Jr. and Mark Andrew Smith’s (the writer of the awesome “Sullivan’s Sluggers,” a graphic novel that somehow managed to successfully tie together two of America’s greatest […]
There are rumors that Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch are going to be in ‘Avengers 2,’ though I have to ask why, especially when they’re two of the most uninteresting characters – in my not-so-humble opinion – in the Marvel canon. Why don’t they go in another direction, and leave the Maximoffs to Fox (both […]
Sometimes, you have to be cruel to be kind.
Guillermo Del Toro rocks. Why, you ask? Sure, it has more than a little to do with him being the director of “Hellboy,” “Hellboy 2,” “Blade 2,” The Devil’s Backbone,” Pan’s Labyrinth, among others. It also has to do with tenaciousness, and following your dreams, no matter how bleak things may seem (it also never […]
“Hemlock Grove” is an oddly captivating series, less for its content – it lacks the blatant sexuality of “American Horror Story” as well as its hit-or-miss shock value – than the fact that Netflix is releasing it the same fashion as they did in the case of “House of Cards,” which is the entire series […]
When Gerry Anderson died in 2013 I assumed that also meant that not only would there be no more series like “UFO,” “Space: 1999” or “Space Precinct” but without his leadership there wouldn’t even be an Anderson Entertainment. It seems that I am wrong because the company’s web site not only went live recently and […]
That title was harder to come up with than it looks. Let me begin by saying that I don’t care for soap operas, which isn’t to say that I have never watched any. In the day I used to watch “Flamingo Road,” and “Days Of Our Lives” but that was more of – in hindsight […]
Here’s some good news and some not-so-good news. First, it appears that Wesley Snipes was released from prison a few days ago, which means that I don’t have to ask any more questions about his whereabouts. That’s the good news. The not-so-good news is that there are rumors that Morris Chestnut will be playing the […]
Success should be rewarded. If you’re good at what you do, you should be paid for it. Sometimes, handsomely. But when such things grow out of proportion, it borders on insanity. For instance, the head of the Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger, recently announced that there would be layoffs to cut costs, which is an […]
Today Roger Ebert died after a hard fought battle with cancer. He was 70 years old, and – at least for me – humanized movie reviewing, making it feel like it was something that anyone, including myself, could do. I remember watching both him and Gene Siskel – who died in February, 1999 – on […]
