The Golden Monkey Awards: Our Best in Film for 2009

Posted by Paul Little | Sunday, March 7, 2010 @ 3:20am

Tonight the film world came together to celebrate the best in motion pictures with the 82nd Academy Awards. We love the Oscars here at ShowbizMonkeys.com -- the movie stars, the spectacle, the whole thing -- but we also like picking our own favourites in movies. Since this site began under our old name in 2001, we've been choosing our own top movies of the year. But beginning this year, we're running things more like the major awards shows themselves -- minus the stars and the spectacle, of course!

So, we present to you the Golden Monkey Motion Picture Achievement Awards, honouring what we believe to be the best in film for 2009. There are 10 categories: Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Animated Film, Best Documentary, Best Original Song, and of course, Best Picture. Our staff, which stretches across North America, submitted their choices for their favourites in each category, and from those selections, we put together our nominees. Then we put our nominees to a vote, and came up with these winners -- our collective favourites from the last year.

Interview: Psych creator Steve Franks on the season four finale, next season, and putting the show together

Posted by Paul Little | Wednesday, March 10, 2010 @ 6:47am

A little over a week ago, I posted some Psych scoop on the heels of speaking with Steve Franks, the show's creator, writer, and executive producer. Well, that interview with Mr. Franks actually lasted nearly 40 minutes (apparently we were both really excited to talk about the show!), and spanned an array of topics including tonight's season finale (which airs on USA at 10/9c), what kind of things to expect next season, the writing process for the show, how the idea for Psych came about in the first place, and even the Olympics.

The Office: The Delivery

Posted by Lawrence Lee | Monday, March 8, 2010 @ 9:20pm

Much of the appeal of The Office is a result of combining diverse characters in an office environment, with plots that are driven by workplace related themes and the interactions that ensue. The Delivery, is unlike most episodes of The Office. Instead, it relies on slapstick, and the characters acting very much over the top. Though there were a few memorable moments, the episode, especially the first half, felt contrived, and attempting to fit a non-work story into an office environment.

Late night talk show guests: March 8-14

Posted by Paul Little | Monday, March 8, 2010 @ 3:49pm

Sorry about missing last week. I know it seems like a habit of one week on, one week off, but I have a good excuse. I was in Mexico for a good friend's wedding, and my resort in Mexico didn't have the Wi-Fi in the rooms that I thought it did. So it actually had nothing to do with the re-launch of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and me trying to avoid the hype (though I guess it was a nice side effect to go along with the beautiful weather).

And just to prove how much I love all of you, I am posting the listings this week, despite the fact that I'm in Las Vegas after covering the Academy Awards in L.A. the past few days. Despite being in Sin City, I'm still on the internet giving you a list of what to watch this week in late night. So... am I forgiven?

Academy Awards Coverage: The Hurt Locker takes down the mighty Avatar; our own Douglas Maynard asks the tough questions

Posted by Paul Little | Sunday, March 7, 2010 @ 9:03pm

As the Academy Awards draw to a close, I'm reminded of something said at Friday's press conference in Hollywood with Oscar co-producers Adam Shankman and Bill Mechanic and Academy president Tom Sherak. I can't recall which one of the three said it, but we were told that there would be more excitement during the first hour of this year's Academy Awards telecast than ever before. Things would be fast-paced, you see, and this ceremony would be more appealing to younger viewers than ever before. Looking back on that first hour, and the show as a whole, I'm not quite sure what they were talking about.

Sure, the opening musical number featuring Neil Patrick Harris was phenomenal (should he host next year?); the banter between hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin has been mostly really funny (who knew Meryl Streep had such a bit Hitler memorabilia collection?!); the John Hughes tribute was nice to see; Ben Stiller in Avatar make-up (when Avatar wasn't even nominated in that category!) was one of the funniest moments of the night; and there were of course some memorable acceptance speeches. But the most exciting first hour ever? Hardly. And a fast-paced extravaganza? Well, the show ran long once again.

Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains - Tonight, We Make Our Move

Posted by Paul Little | Friday, March 5, 2010 @ 3:58am

This one is a little more recap than review. I'm in Los Angeles right now putting together some Oscar reports and coverage for ShowbizMonkeys.com, so I'm not able to go through my summary notes on tonight's Survivor episode and come up with more of a review. But I will say that this episode had a lot of what I love about Survivor: smart decisions, stupid decisions, good challenges, hidden immunity idols, and big decisions that could affect alliances and the tribal make-up.

American Idol Season 9: Top 20 Results

Posted by Ariana | Friday, March 5, 2010 @ 1:00am

There is a whole lot of nonsense with Danny Gokey and horrifying group lip-syncs to Black Eyed Peas, and frankly I don't need to waste your time or mine with any of this, so let's just get on with it, shall we?

Lost: Sundown

Posted by David Robertson | Thursday, March 4, 2010 @ 2:47pm

Sayid! A cold blooded killer with a heart of gold. He's always been a fascinating character. I watched the episode on Tuesday with a new Lost-head...she just bought Season 1 and was about to delve into the world of Lost. Convinced that she would forget it all by the time she got to this episode, she watched it with my wife and I. I tried to explain some things to her off the top but was shut down because she didn't want me to ruin the surpises. Looking back, trying to explain Lost is nearly impossible. The other night I was trying to sort in my head just all the secrets Lost had to address this season and there are lots. So, where did we get on Tuesday? In my estimation...not very far. Although, it was still a good episode.

American Idol Season 9: Top 20, Girls Night

Posted by Ariana | Wednesday, March 3, 2010 @ 11:30pm

I swear, every time Ryan says “THIS... is American Idol,” he tries to one-up himself. I see that Crystal Bowersox is alive and (questionably) well, and thankfully, she has no desire to whine as Ryan asks her how she’s feeling and she claims she’s a tough cookie and she’s ready to sing.
