I saw the trailer for “Let’s Be Cops” when I went to see “Oculus” last week and I really enjoyed it. It stars Jake Johnson, from “The New Girl,” a television show that I happen to like (Yeah, I was surprised too) and Damon Wayans Jr. Johnson has this vaguely Jack Klugmanesque (in the role of […]
If you’ve seen the brilliant insanity and mean-spiritedness (in the best possible way) of the FXX fantasy football (faux football) comedy “The League,” you know who Taco (Jon Lajoie) is. Thanks to The Daily Beast I learned this morning that he’s for sale. As in he wants sponsors and advertisers to “Please Use This Song.” […]
Let me begin by saying that I didn’t start out hating “Lost” when it originally aired back in 2004. In fact, I honestly didn’t watch enough episodes to form any sort of opinion (of the informed variety, at any rate). The thing is, I am a huge fan of horror and science fiction movies and […]
Guillermo Del Toro is, it goes without saying, one of my favorite directors working today. His work is always interesting, even if doesn’t make billions of dollars. He’s been working with Legendary Pictures since “Pacific Rim,” which did OK at the boxoffice. I haven’t heard anything about a sequel, though he’s currently working on “Crimson […]
Commercials are made to inform about a particular service or entice you to buy something you want (but don’t yet know that you want). Though in practice, most do the exact opposite. They confuse instead of clarify, and irritate to such a degree that there are some DVR’s designed to skip them entirely. Though there are times when a […]
Welcome to the first meeting of S.E.T.R.E.P. (the Society Existing To Prevent Revelation of Essential Plot-Points) because life is hard enough without someone knowingly revealing information that a show took months to build up to, or the twist of a movie, or an important character dying in either medium. The need for such an organization became clear when […]
The debate over whether the Year One or Two of Space: 1999 is one that will probably rank relatively low among the questions that plague mankind by their elusiveness. Unless you happen to be a person that prefers one or the other, in which case the answer is fairly obvious and the question somewhat pointless. Space: 1999 is the […]
And as you can see from this picture, “Meh” was being generous. This image is from Screen Crush, and as you can tell, it’s a picture of the new Flash costume, and it. Looks. Pretty. Bad. It also looks confining, when it should allow movement (I assume that the show’s producers will say that it’s […]
This is going to sound like sacrilege, but I have to say it: I never liked Roman Polanski’s “Rosemary’s Baby.” There, my secret is out. It’s treated like some sort of classic of slow-burn horror by most people who have seen it, but from what I could tell, it’s just slow. In some ways the […]
Do you ever get the feeling that someone is trying to pull the wool over your eyes? I ask because many outlets, including the New York Daily News and Superherohype, have posted a picture of costume that would be worn by Grant Gustin in the CW Network action series “The Flash.” My problem is that, […]
