I’ve learned by now to give any new drama on FX the benefit of the doubt. The network has had a pretty great track record, after all. Nevertheless, I passed by ‘Sons of Anarchy’ because I had no interest in the b...
Ports and sequels abound on the videogame release list this week, but that’s not actually a bad thing. It’s an especially good week for PS3 owners, who get a little of everything.
With the release of ‘The Social Network‘ (one of last year’s best reviewed and highest grossing films), last week was pretty good for Blu-ray, wasn’t it? Unfortunately, things slow down considerably this we...
I have mixed emotions about this week’s box office. On the one hand, a pair of absolutely awful films topped the chart. On the other hand, there are a bunch of little, Academy-friendly movies up there too. So it’s with...

This weekend is not what you would call promising in terms of new movies at your local bijou. Even if you live in New York or LA, things might be deemed scarce. But you can always stay home and watch ‘The Social Network̵...
Comic book stories about superheroes have remained a staple of cinema and television screens for decades. Over the last couple of years, a peculiar sub-genre has permutated in which ordinary people get inspired by comics to dress ...
