Now Streaming – El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie

Deirdre Crimmins — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 19:00:11 +0000

El Camino just might be the movie that Breaking Bad die-hards have yammered for the past few years, but it’s bound to leave more casual fans a little unsatisfied. If you recall, the television show ended six years ago with everyone’s favorite meth cook, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), breaking free from his captors and driving...

Weekend Roundtable: Bad Lawyers

Josh Zyber — Fri, 13 Oct 2017 19:00:59 +0000

This weekend brings us a bio-pic about Thurgood Marshall, one of the greatest legal minds in American history. Unfortunately, we’ve already done a Roundable about Favorite Lawyer Movies. I guess that means it’s time to look instead at some of the sleaziest, most incompetent, or even downright evil lawyers from movies and TV. You know,...

‘Better Call Saul’ Pilot & 1.02 Recaps: “You Are the Worst Lawyer Ever”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 11 Feb 2015 21:00:24 +0000

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 ran this week, can the show live up to its promotional hype or its predecessor’s legend? I have to admit that...

SteelBook Alert: The One Who Knocks

Josh Zyber — Wed, 15 Oct 2014 16:00:02 +0000

As the home video studios focus their efforts on DVD and digital streaming, TV content on Blu-ray is getting to be rare enough in itself these days. For a TV show to get collectible SteelBook releases, it has to be a property with a considerable following. UK retailer Zavvi is counting on fans of ‘Breaking...

2014 Emmy Winners

Josh Zyber — Tue, 26 Aug 2014 13:00:53 +0000

We live in an era with a seemingly endless diversity of choices for quality television programming. Yet judging by the results of last night’s Emmy Awards, it would appear that most voting members of the Television Academy only watched one show over the past year. Sweep mentality was in full effect at the Emmys this...

Josh Zyber — Mon, 02 Jun 2014 13:00:45 +0000

In this week’s new Blu-ray releases, 1950s greasers fight for your dollar against a bevy of undead challengers, including zombies, vampires, a Frankensteinian cyborg and even a resurrected holy man. Oh, and let’s throw in some cannibals too for good measure. If we could get all of these into one movie, imagine what a spectacle...

Statuesque: Golden Globes 2014 After-Party

Josh Zyber — Mon, 13 Jan 2014 14:00:08 +0000

The Golden Globes aired last night, hosted for the second year in a row by funny ladies Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. The Globes have a reputation for being the most fun event of awards season, but sadly, I have to say that this one was pretty dull. As for the prizes handed out, well…...

This time of year, when most original programming takes a break through the holidays, it’s quite common for cable networks to air marathon viewing sessions of popular TV series.

Josh Zyber — Fri, 13 Dec 2013 14:00:11 +0000

Here we are almost at the end of the year, which means that awards season has officially begun. Several regional critics’ groups have already named their best-of picks for 2013, but let’s be honest; the only movie awards that anyone really cares about are the Oscars and, to a much lesser extent, the Golden Globes...

Josh Zyber — Mon, 25 Nov 2013 14:00:15 +0000

It’s Thanksgiving this week, which can only mean that it’s time to bring out the turkeys. Oh, I suppose that’s not entirely fair. Still, holiday weeks are always a slow time for new Blu-ray releases. Fortunately, this one has a couple of impressive box sets worth taking a good look at. New Releases The first...

‘Breaking Bad’ Series Finale Recap: “I Guess I Got What I Deserved”

Michael Spike Steinbacher — Tue, 01 Oct 2013 13:00:26 +0000

Television executives and stars dream of having a series that grows so enormously popular that it becomes a part of the zeitgeist. Such shows don’t come along that often, and when they do, they tend to peak early then slowly become less and less meaningful as creative ideas dwindle. What a rare treat for all...

‘Breaking Bad’ 5.15 Recap: “It’s Not Over”

Michael Spike Steinbacher — Wed, 25 Sep 2013 15:00:27 +0000

At this point, it kind of seems superfluous to wax poetic or to sing the praises of the latest ‘Breaking Bad’ episode. This is the most hyped and universally praised show out there at the moment. It needs to be said, however, that Sunday night’s penultimate episode, ‘Granite State’, was spectacular. Relatively low on action...
