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.

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.

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.
