Though you undoubtedly had little reason to notice, the Oscars actually weren’t the only movie awards handed out over the weekend. As per tradition, the Independent Spirit Awards and the Razzies both continued to demonstrate...
By the time you read this, two of this week’s big new Blu-ray titles may be able to boast about winning shiny Oscar trophies. Or maybe they walked away empty-handed at the awards this weekend. I have no idea. Writing these p...
Forget the other six nominees. For weeks now, it has been obvious that the race for this year’s Best Picture Academy Award was really a two-film battle between ‘Birdman’ and ‘Boyhood’. At the end of t...
Oh sure, they may be basking in the acclaim of their latest hits now, but this year’s Oscar nominees haven’t always starred in such award-worthy movies. In fact, many of them have made a lot of crap. As we prepare to w...
I complained last week about the ridiculously unbelievable science in ‘The Flash’. Although this week’s episode may not rank much higher on the plausibility scale, it somehow plays better. Or perhaps I was just i...

I don’t know how things are where you live, but I am sick and tired of this goddamn winter. I have already shoveled approximately 8.6 metric tons of snow and another major storm is due to hit this weekend. I’ve had it....
As a rule, I cut the “science” in comic book shows a lot of slack, but the technobabble in this week’s episode of ‘The Flash’ strains disbelief even by superhero standards.
As I mentioned in my last ‘Gotham’ recap, I found the introduction of future Batman foe The Scarecrow to be perhaps the least interesting thing about last week’s episode. The show wraps up the two-parter this wee...
AMC is so confident about its ‘Breaking Bad’ spin-off ‘Better Call Saul’ that the network officially renewed the show for a second season before a single episode even aired. Now that its two-night premiere ...
