‘Glee’ 4.01 Recap: “Impress Me”

‘Glee’ 4.01 Recap: “Impress Me”

Now on Thursdays, ‘Glee’ returned for a fourth season last week, and I’m sure that a lot of people out there are asking why it bothered. After last year’s lackluster, sometimes downright terrible season, not to mention that flop 3D concert film, the show felt more than ever like a flash-in-the-pan that had already burned out. Yet, with half the characters finally graduated from high school, Season 4 actually promises a shake-up that could restore some freshness to the series. Does the premiere episode deliver?

Blu-ray Highlights for August 14th, 2012 – Do You Hunger for Games?

Blu-ray Highlights for August 14th, 2012 – Do You Hunger for Games?

After a few sleepy months, the Blu-ray release schedule bursts back to life this week with two major releases that demand attention. The first is one of this year’s biggest box office hits (as well as the launching point for a new franchise), while the other is an all-time classic that changed the way Hollywood does business. As if those weren’t enough on their own, several other interesting titles also vie for our attention. This could be an expensive week.

As the fall 2011 to spring 2012 TV season draws to a close, it’s time to look over the schedule to see which of the past year’s shows have made the cut to return again in a few months, and which have hit the end of the line.

The Biggest Box Office Bombs of 2011

The Biggest Box Office Bombs of 2011

As the publication does every year, The Hollywood Reporter has made a list of the Top 15 box office bombs of 2011. The definition of “bomb” is based on a comparison of each movie’s budget versus its worldwide box office total. However, as we know, just because a movie didn’t make any money doesn’t mean it was bad. Did all of these movies deserve their sad fate? (Most of them, probably.)

2012 Golden Globe Nominations Announced

2012 Golden Globe Nominations Announced

Yesterday morning, in a presentation hosted by Woody Harrelson, Sofia Vergara, Gerard Butler and Rashida Jones, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced its nominees for the upcoming Golden Globe Awards ceremony in January. While a first glance at the list of nominations may not appear to hold many surprises, the biggest surprise (and frankly disappointment) is that there aren’t too many inexplicable or outright bonkers nominations, as the Globes are notorious for, either. Remember how last year ‘The Tourist’ (which is neither a comedy, a musical nor a remotely good movie) was nominated for Best Comedy or Musical? Where’s that kind of insanity this year?

‘American Horror Story’ Pilot Recap: “The World Is a Filthy Place”

‘American Horror Story’ Pilot Recap: “The World Is a Filthy Place”

I’ve got to give Ryan Murphy (creator of ‘Nip/Tuck’ and ‘Glee’) credit where it’s due. The guy may not have yet figured out how to sustain a TV show in the long run (though he’s certainly tried), but he sure knows how to start one off with a bang. The producer’s latest series ‘American Horror Story’ debuted on the FX network last week, and the pilot episode is filled with more balls-out insanity in one hour alone than ten R-rated horror movies slammed together. I can’t believe this thing aired on basic cable. I also have to admit that I kind of loved it.

‘Glee’ 3.01 Recap: “Not Everyone’s Dreams Come True”

‘Glee’ 3.01 Recap: “Not Everyone’s Dreams Come True”

“What if we’re not good enough to make it?,” Kurt asks Rachel about halfway through the third season premiere of ‘Glee’. It’s a moment of self-doubt for the characters, one that they must eventually overcome – but it left me wondering if the show’s writers have asked themselves the same question yet. What if ‘Glee’ isn’t good enough to make it?

2011 Emmy Winners – Same As 2010 Emmy Winners

2011 Emmy Winners – Same As 2010 Emmy Winners

I believe that the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences needs to implement a major overhaul of the Emmy nomination process, such that once a person (in a specific role) or show wins a category, they should be retired from that category going forward. As it stands now, the system is designed to continually issue the same awards to the same winners year after year. That’s exactly what happened in last night’s ceremony, which bestowed its major prizes to the same series that won last year. How boring is that?

Blu-ray Highlights for 9/13/11 – How Broke Are You Going to Be This Week?

Blu-ray Highlights for 9/13/11 – How Broke Are You Going to Be This Week?

Grab something and hold on tight! This week brings us a virtual onslaught of new Blu-ray releases, including two cinematic titans battling it out to pry some of those hard-earned dollars from your wallets. I wish I could say that there was only one difficult choice to make this week, but the reality is that a ton of stuff may deserve your money. Quite frankly, ‘Star Wars’ is the least of them.
