This weekend, I caught an advanced screening of a new alleged comedy called ‘The Extra Man’, as part of the Talk Cinema series (which I generally recommend, if there’s a branch in your area). The film stars Kevin...
From The Boston Channel: “State officials painted a slightly more optimistic timetable for repair of the pipe break that cut off the supply of clean water to many communities in eastern Massachusetts. Crews found that the 10...
’24’ is currently in its 8th season on the air. That’s a lot of bad days for Jack Bauer. The show’s producers have been careful to never explicitly state in what year any season of the show takes place. How...
Welcome back to Week 2 of The Bonus View. How was everybody’s weekend? Because I am a nerd, I spent my Saturday at the official G.I. Joe Collectors’ Convention, which was held this year in Providence, RI. My intent was...
Ever since ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ got away with it nine years ago (has it really been that long?), numerous other shows have attempted to recapture the magic of the “special musical episode.” Honestly, ...

ABC’s new series ‘Happy Town’ premiers tonight. I’ve seen some of the commercials, but I know very little about the show. I gather that it’s some sort of small town, ‘Twin Peaks’-wannabe m...
I adore Kristin Chenoweth. I’m still sad that ‘Pushing Daisies’ was canceled. She proved a perfect fit for ‘Glee’ during her first appearance earlier this season, though. I wish the producers would fi...
I think we can all agree that ’24’ is long past its prime. The show peaked in Season 5, when Jack took down President Logan. Season 6 was an unholy abomination of recycled storylines. Season 7 seemed like somewhat of a...
