Tons of spoilers! Don’t read unless you’ve seen the episode!

Sunday School Musical (review)
Oh, for shame! How Christian is theft? Not very — isn’t one of their Big Rules against it? This direct-to-DVD flick is a bald-faced attempt to latch onto the phenom that is *High School Musical*…
Sally Lockhart Mysteries: The Shadow in the North (review)
It’s a few years after the events of *Ruby in the Smoke,* the first of novelist Philip Pullman’s stories of the spunky Victorian girl detective, and star Billie Piper is even more spectacularly confident in her second outing as the young woman now daring enough to set herself up in the City, London’s financial center, as a consultant…
YPF (review)
If this is meant to be representative of ‘modern relationships,’ count me out.
watch it: the weekly address from President-elect Barack Obama
What’s that one-spirit, one-family stuff he’s talking? As long as the people who engineered this financial disaster — the CEOs of banks and brokerages and auto companies and airlines and big-box superstores and all the others — not only go unpunished and but actually retain the rewards of their incompetence and malfeasance, this is just … more…
last call for autographed copies of ‘The Totally Geeky Guide to The Princess Bride’
BUMPED UP: still got 13 8 copies left. makes a nice stocking stuffer… So, I’m back from my quick excursion up to the Boston area for a showing of The Princess Bride. Ten hours alone in a rental car over the course of 24 hours ain’t exactly the most fun way to spend a day … more…

screencap Friday: what the flick? #47
Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from one of the DVDs in my collection (and it’s definitely from a movie, not a TV show). Guess the movie for fun and, well, fun. No prizes, just bragging rights. But hey: one guess per comment — no fair hogging all the guesses.
‘Pushing Daisies’ blogging: “Robbing Hood”
(previous: Episode 6: “Oh Oh Oh… It’s Magic”) Do you smell pie? I smell pie. Mmmmm, pie… [spoilers after the jump!] One thing that constantly surprises me about Pushing Daises is how it manages to constantly surprise me. Whether you watch TV (and movies) professionally or just for fun, the more you see of mainstream … more…
watch it: “Shopping Can Be Fun (1957)”
Don’t shop on “Black Friday” — that’s what they want you to do to: Why do they want you to shop? Why are they so gung-ho on getting you to the mall? What’s in it for them? Did they really have to tell us that shopping can be fun? Couldn’t we have figured it out … more…
