Josh Zyber — Fri, 07 Sep 2018 17:00:55 +0000

Now that Jim from The Office is the new Jack Ryan, perhaps it’s time to rethink our traditional casting choices for action franchises. Rather than some muscle-bound former wrestler, what other comedian is destined to headline the next reboot of an action icon? Adam Tyner (DVDTalk) It’s been more than a year and a half...

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...

Friday’s TV Madness match-ups are still too close to call at the time of this writing, but it looks like Raylan Givens might put Cordell Walker out of the tournament. (Thank goodness!) The battle between Ben Linus and Brisco County, Jr. is still neck-and-neck, though. We’ll have to see how that shakes out this afternoon....

Weekend Roundtable: Most-Wanted Movie and TV Crossovers

Josh Zyber — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 19:00:11 +0000

The Alien fought the Predator. Freddy battled it out with Jason. The Puppet Master even had a skirmish with the Demonic Toys. Popular movies cross over with other popular movies all the time, and TV shows often do the same. (Thomas Magnum teamed up with the Simon brothers on several occasions!)

‘Dexter’ 6.02 Recap: “Sounds Like Divine Intervention”

Aaron Peck — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 19:00:58 +0000

Season Six of ‘Dexter’ seems like it’s still setting the stage for the rest of the year. Not much has happened. We’ve essentially been reintroduced to the characters and met a few new ones.
