However, we're always looking to do more, and for that, we need more content providers. That's where you may come in!
Review: Carnage
Posted by Tony Hinds | Thursday, January 26, 2012 @ 9:56am
One morning during a school yard disagreement, a kid named Zachary hits a kid named Ethan in the face with a stick, cutting his lip and breaking two of his teeth ("...and causing nerve damage to the right incisor," his Mother will curtly point out). Later, Zachary's parents (The Cowans, played by Kate Winslet and Christoph Waltz) arrive at the Brooklyn apartment of Ethan's parents (The Longstreets, played by Jodie Foster and John C. Reilly) to discuss the aftermath. Obviously, the children are too immature to work out this problem by themselves, so the parents get involved. What follows is some of the most awkward, uncomfortable, and hilariously tension-filled moments this side of The Office (the UK one, obviously), an interesting tonal departure for director Roman Polanski.
Alcatraz: Kit Nelson
Posted by Andrew Burns | Wednesday, January 25, 2012 @ 9:10pm
After a strong opening premiere night last week Alcatraz returns with a little less excitement for it’s third episode. That’s not to say this week’s episode didn’t have its fair share of mystery. Former Fringe guest star Michael Eklund joins the Alcatraz cast as this week’s newest returning prisoner in “Kit Nelson”.
Fringe: Enemy of My Enemy
Posted by Andrew Burns | Wednesday, January 25, 2012 @ 2:37pm
Its an expression used when those at war with each other yet share a common threat. Setting aside their differences or conflict and joining together to stop a mutual adversary. This week’s Fringe makes use of the famous proverb “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” after the appearance – or reappearance if you want to get technical – of David Robert Jones as the series new villain.
2012 Oscar nominations: Hollywood looks back in time as Hugo and The Artist lead the way
Posted by Paul Little | Tuesday, January 24, 2012 @ 9:20am
With just over a month until the 84th Academy Awards -- which take place on Sunday, February 26th -- the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (via Academy President Tom Sherak and Oscar-nominated actress Jennifer Lawrence) announced this year's Oscar nominations early this morning.
The Academy certainly saw 2011 as The Year of the Forgotten Film, with Hugo (a love letter to early filmmaking and film restoration) taking home eleven nominations and The Artist (the first broadly-released silent film in ages) right behind at ten. Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris, which also jumps back in time to the days of old films and early 20th century literary greats is also up for several major awards. More modern fare wasn't completely ignored, however, as Moneyball (with six nominations) and The Descendants (with five) are in the running in most of the major categories, including Best Picture.
(Not Quite All) The Most Anticipated Films of 2012
Posted by Tony Hinds | Tuesday, January 24, 2012 @ 8:03am
The big idea was to feature some of the more highly-anticipated movies from the 2012 film slate -- of which there are many -- however, I’ll admit: a couple clunkers still managed to sneak their way in. But overall, I feel like there is a little something for everybody on this list. In no particular order...
Glee: Yes/No
Posted by Michael Walkey | Monday, January 23, 2012 @ 4:15pm
Love is in the air at McKinley and in more ways than one: Becky is setting her sights on Artie, Sam and Mercedes are relieving their ‘Summer Nights”, Beiste and Cooter apparently eloped, Will is trying to propose to Emma and Fichel’s relationship is about to take a major step forward.
The Vampire Diaries: The Ties That Bind
Posted by Kyle Tetarenko | Sunday, January 22, 2012 @ 9:46pm
For weeks we have known that the fourth coffin of Klaus’s family could not be opened but Bonnie may have discovered that its secrets may be tied to her dreams and past.
Walkey Talk: Who the Hell Are the Hollywood Foreign Press?
Posted by Michael Walkey | Sunday, January 22, 2012 @ 7:44pm
Ah, awards season. It’s a great time in Hollywood. With so many awards these days being handed out to doctors, scientists, and educators, it’s about damn time they honour millionaire movie stars! But seriously, for movie fans like me, it’s a chance to see some great films. And if you’re an over analyzer, also like me, it’s a chance to debate which films are the best of the year, discuss whose performances are Oscar worthy, and ask yourself questions like: which films will be remembered ten years from now? And just who are the Hollywood Foreign Press?
Interview: Chuck's Vik Sahay reflects on his five seasons playing Lester on the NBC action comedy
Posted by Paul Little | Wednesday, January 18, 2012 @ 8:48pm
With only a couple weeks left in the five-season run of the NBC action spy comedy Chuck, the mood amongst the cast and fans is mixed. Certainly, if you work on the show or just enjoy watching it, a TV series ending is never the most pleasant of times. However, for several years the show has flirted with cancellation as the fan base -- no matter how intensely passionate -- has not been strong enough to garner decent Nielsen ratings. Through a combination of great fan initiatives (such as the Subway campaign a couple years ago) and airing on a fourth-place network, Chuck has managed to avoid cancellation every spring, but in 2011 the good fortune ran out: the show was renewed for a fifth season, with the caveat that it would only be 13 episodes and definitely be the show's last.
Alcatraz: Ernest Cobb
Posted by Andrew Burns | Tuesday, January 17, 2012 @ 1:27am
No time is wasted between cases as the newly formed unorthodox task force has another deadly Alcatraz inmate reappear. The second half of Alcatraz’s back-to-back premiere night continues with “Ernest Cobb”.
