At ShowbizMonkeys.com, we like to bring you interesting perspectives on movies, television, music, and comedy that you can't find anywhere else. At the same time, we try to cover as much in the way of new film and television as possible, while giving some insight into the music and comedy scenes. However, we're always looking to do more, and for that, we need more content providers. That's where you may come in!
Fringe: Making Angels
Posted by Andrew Burns | Saturday, February 4, 2012 @ 2:53pm
Well it only took 4 seasons but the oh so lovable Jasika Nicole finally gets her due on Fringe with her own Astro episode. Asterix episode? Aspirin episode? No wait Astrid episode.
The Vampire Diaries: Bringing Out the Dead
Posted by Kyle Tetarenko | Saturday, February 4, 2012 @ 1:22am
When Klaus was moments away from getting his family back, Damon only had time to choose one coffin to take. Luckily for him, that coffin may hold the secret to destroying Klaus forever.
Alcatraz: Cal Sweeney
Posted by Andrew Burns | Wednesday, February 1, 2012 @ 11:51am
Meet a nice girl at the local supermarket, take her to dinner, send her flowers, and then visit her work with a small sedative and a captive bolt pistol to show her you care. What? They don’t do that in the 21st Century anymore? Well, no one told Cal Sweeney.
Fringe: Forced Perspective
Posted by Andrew Burns | Sunday, January 29, 2012 @ 9:21pm
Mysterious bald people with abnormal abilities? Check. Characters sometimes submerged in water to focus their minds? Check. Precogs able to predict deaths before they happen? Check. Tom Cruise using a jetpack? Umm nope. This week’s Fringe episode may have many things in common with Spielberg’s 2002 film Minority Report but thankfully no one had to lose their eye balls to save the day.
Oscar Talk: What Y'all Complainin' Bout?
Posted by Michael Walkey | Saturday, January 28, 2012 @ 6:31am
The blogosphere runs amok every time a pop culture event hits, big or small, allowing people to debate the pros and cons of anything and everything. This week’s Oscar nominations are no different: an event tailor made for master debaters of pop culture. Here we have a group of people (The Academy) from a delusional part of the world (Hollywood) who proudly claim every year that they have the be all and end all of ‘best of’ lists. And we’re pathetic enough to believe their list is worth getting upset over. And boy, people are upset this year!
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...
