So, the torture-porn flick Captivity tanked at the box office last weekend — it couldn’t do better than No. 12, earning a pathetic $1.4 million. And after being such a misogynist pig about the film, After Dark producer Courtney Solomon is backtracking and spinning: “It’s overkill,” said Courtney Solomon, president of After Dark Films, which … more…
I thought: Wow, this is gonna be cool. Here’s Holly Hunter as a rough, tough cop: she drinks too much, smokes too much, swears way more than cops on commercial television get to, sleeps with her married partner. She’s a mess — bad for Grace Hanadarko, major case detective in Oklahoma City, but great for … more…
David Duchovny has been out and about promoting his new Showtime series Californication, debuting next month, which will, apparently, give viewers a completely unMulderesque Duchovny, one that may disturb fans who see him only as the snarky, dour FBI agent.

Ah, now here we have the genuine thrill of traveling with the Doctor: visiting the past. The future is cool and all, an undiscovered country, but history… ah, history is a storied place we never get to visit. Unless we’re with the Doctor.
Ack! I’m never gonna finish writing up last night’s episode, “The Shakespeare Code,” before I’ve gotta run out for the rest of the day, so check back tomorrow. I’m nearly done watching the remainder of this season’s episodes, and all I gotta say is this: I want a t-shirt that reads “the angels have the … more…
‘Six Feet Under’ meets ‘My Blue Heaven’…
