Oh dear, the fodder for all the little fanboys and fangirls. In the first season of Billie Piper’s series Secret Diary of a Call Girl — just out on DVD in Region 1 and reviewed here — there’s a special guest in one of the episodes: Matt Smith, Doctor Who’s 11th Doctor. This is long … more…
It still seems too much like a summer show to be debuting a new season in January, but USA doesn’t care what I think: They’re bringing back the warm-breeze, snack-food spy series Burn Notice tonight at 10pm Eastern. Don’t get me wrong: I love the show, I think it’s the perfect blend of comedy and … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Well, I hate to say that this trailer spoils some of the best jokes, but it’s true. The appearances of William Shatner, “Harry Knowles” (that’s not actually Knowles)… though I suppose you’d learn about all the geek-appeal cameos and jokes anyway: there’s no way they’d be … more…
Man, it must be me. I was all excited that Lost was coming back, couldn’t wait to find out what was gonna happen — wormholes! conspiracies! polar bears! — and by about half an hour into last night’s two-hour series premiere, my mind was already wandering.
The nominees for the 81st annual Academy Awards were announced this morning — get the full list here. What are your thoughts on the Oscar nominations? I’m stunned that I’m not stunned by any of the nominations. Usually there’s at least one outlier that makes you go, What? Really? And the only nomination that comes … more…
This is what I get for not reading fan sites. I only just discovered now, during a commercial break in the middle of Lost, that Nathan Fillion is gonna be appearing on my TV again on a regular basis. Seems ABC’s got a cop show called Castle debuting in March. Honestly, it looks like the … more…
The Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend isn’t traditionally a big weekend for moviegoing, but wow, this four-dayer was a record breaker: 1. Paul Blart: Mall Cop: $39.2 million (NEW) 2. Gran Torino: $25.6 million (2nd week in wide release; drops 13%) 3. My Bloody Valentine 3-D: $24.1 million (NEW) 4. Notorious: $23.4 million (NEW) … more…
I imagine Piper headed straight from *Doctor Who* to a series like this to wash away that nice-girl taint before she got typecast so early in her career. And whoo, there’s no beating around the bush here. (Oo, did I just say that?)
Turns out the feature film 9, which I posted the teaser trailer of earlier today, is based on a short film. This one:
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Finally! Someone has animated the apocalypse! Well, Wall-E came close, but that was more an abandonment than an apocalypse. Here it looks like we’ve got the real thing: the world is trashed (is that Notre Dame on fire in the middle of the trailer? aww, no…), … more…
