Weekend Roundtable: ‘Roseanne’ without Roseanne

Josh Zyber — Fri, 01 Jun 2018 19:00:44 +0000

Roseanne Barr committed career suicide by Twitter this week, and ABC very rapidly announced an immediate cancelation for the revival of her self-titled sitcom, which had been a ratings smash this year. Already, however, there has been talk of continuing the show without Barr. Should that happen, which other disgraced celebrity with a troubled personal...

Weekend Roundtable: Second Generation Stars

Josh Zyber — Fri, 10 Apr 2015 19:00:37 +0000

This weekend, as Clint Eastwood’s son Scott takes us for ‘The Longest Ride’ through some Nicholas Sparks drivel, we felt like musing about other children of celebrities who have attempted to follow their parents’ footsteps into show business, for better or for worse. Shannon Nutt Although his father played such legendary characters as Ned Land...

Weekend Roundtable: “You’re Dead to Me”

Josh Zyber

When a relationship sours, sometimes you just need to be done with a person. For this week’s Roundtable, we’d like to know what celebrities (from any sphere of pop culture) have crossed a line that you can no longer stand to watch/read/listen to them anymore? Your choices here can be actors, directors, authors, musicians, or...

Now Playing: ‘Machete’ Slays Me

Bryan Kluger — Fri, 11 Oct 2013 13:00:49 +0000

“Machete don’t tweet” is just one of the hilarious lines uttered by Danny Trejo’s iconic character, Machete Cortez, in this new fun-as-hell sequel from Robert Rodriguez. If you pay attention, you might notice that Rodriguez has actually made a ‘Star Wars’ film with Machete in it this time around, complete with machete lightsabers, versions of...

The Trailer Park: Insidious Machete Prisoners

M. Enois Duarte — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 19:00:37 +0000

The next Machete adventure packs more over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek action and a larger cast, but the sequel to the surprising ‘Insidious’ looks largely like a repeat of the first. Meanwhile, French Canadian filmmaker Denis Villeneuve returns with another emotionally gut-wrenching film that’s sure to attract a great deal of praise and attention. ‘Machete Kills’ The tagline...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of May 12th, 2013 – Now with More “K”s!

Josh Zyber — Mon, 13 May 2013 13:00:31 +0000

Blu-ray collectors generally dread the so-called “double dip,” when a studio reissues a title previously released on the format in hopes of convincing fans to buy yet another copy. To justify this, the new disc had better offer either compelling new content or a significant improvement in quality over the older edition. This week, Sony...

Weekend Movies: Fun with Math

Luke Hickman — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 13:00:11 +0000

What does this mild weekend have in store for us? Nothing great. There’s a moral-pushing sports drama and the fifth title in a spoof franchise that never should have made it past the first. The only thing that these two movies have in common is that both have numbers in their titles. Surprising to me,...

Weekend Movies: ‘Effects’ May Vary

Luke Hickman — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 14:00:58 +0000

This weekend’s two big releases appear to have some box office potential, but could just as potentially go nowhere. One is an R-rated comedy with a very familiar plot, the other a Steven Soderbergh thriller that has barely been advertised. Opening on more than 3,100 screens is ‘Identity Thief‘, the new foul-mouthed comedy from ‘Horrible...

Blu-ray Highlights for January 8th, 2013 – Better Off ‘Dredd’

Josh Zyber — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 14:00:32 +0000

January is typically a slow time for movies, both in theaters and on home video. Fortunately, this week brings us a few titles on Blu-ray that might be worth checking out anyway. New Releases The comic book adaptation ‘Dredd‘ attempted to reclaim its source material from the campy Sylvester Stallone movie that was released back...

‘Anger Management’ Pilot Recap: “I Will Never Love You”

Josh Zyber — Mon, 02 Jul 2012 17:00:59 +0000

Charlie Sheen is back on television in a new sit-com. If this notion in itself were enough to get you excited, without any other context behind it (such as whether the show is, you know, any good), then you’d be the perfect undiscriminating audience for ‘Anger Management’, perhaps the laziest alleged “comedy” to hit the...

One from the Vault: ‘Hot Shots! Part Deux’

Wayne Rowe — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:00:48 +0000

With Jim Abrahams and an all-star cast, how could you go wrong? In this week’s dig through the Netflix Vault, we wonder why only ‘Hot Shots! Part Deux’ is streaming in HD, but not its slightly funnier prequel. Here comes some prime pre-crazy Charlie Sheen. ‘Hot Shots! Part Deux’ follows the continuing adventures of Topper...

Mid-Week Poll: Which Disgraced Star Deserves a Comeback?

Josh Zyber — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 13:00:55 +0000

Celebrities and scandal go together like Jack and Coke. Yes, it’s possible for them to function separately, but the combination is so much more delicious when you put them together. For this week’s poll, we’d like to know which recently-disgraced movie star you think is worthy of a career comeback. Vote after the break. It’s...
