‘The Bronze’ Review: A Feel Good Festival of F-Bombs

Philip Brown — Wed, 16 Mar 2016 19:00:15 +0000

The 1990s were filled with ‘Saturday Night Live’ spinoff movies or projects like ‘The Jerky Boys’ that took characters who were funny in small doses and needlessly stretched them out to feature length expansion. ‘The Bronze’ feels just like one of those movies, except that the character at the center never existed before. Nonetheless, it’s...

‘Angie Tribeca’ Premiere Recap: “Sticks and Stones… And Puppy Dog Tails”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 20 Jan 2016 14:00:36 +0000

Taking a cue from Netflix, the TBS network premiered the entire first season of its new comedy ‘Angie Tribeca’ all at once on Sunday night in what was advertised as a 25-hour, commercial free “Binge-a-thon.” How a basic cable network could possibly make money from such an event is a mystery even our detective heroine...

‘Tammy’ Review: A Crack in McCarthy’s Armor

Philip Brown — Thu, 03 Jul 2014 15:00:41 +0000

The success streak that Melissa McCarthy has enjoyed since ‘Bridesmaides’ couldn’t last forever. ‘Tammy’ may be her first outright failure as a star vehicle. The comedy isn’t a complete disaster, though. At least its failings are due to an overreaching ambition rather than just lazily strumming out the hits once more. It’s safe to say...

‘Suits’ 1.12 Recap: “I Win, It’s What I Do”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 13:00:53 +0000

‘Suits’ is definitely my favorite new show from this summer. I had little to no expectations for it going in, and it really surprised me. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to recap the last few episodes due to time commitments, but suffice it to say that they were all really good. The show aired its first...

‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ 8.01 Recap: “I Don’t Really Wanna Be a Good Guy”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 18:00:42 +0000

‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ is back! Everything about this show is thrown together in such a seat-of-their-pants fashion that, after the end of every season, the cast and crew have no idea whether the series will continue at all until Larry David finally calls them up one day and tells them that he has some ideas....

‘True Blood’ 4.01 Recap: This Sucks

Josh Zyber — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 19:00:22 +0000

For as good as ‘True Blood’ is when the series is on its game, I have to acknowledge that the show’s season premieres and finales are usually its weakest episodes for some reason. Such is very much the case with the fourth season premiere that aired this past Sunday. I really hope that some day...

‘Chuck’ 4.21 Recap: “Do Our Wedding Colors Remind You of Socialism?”

Josh Zyber — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 17:00:10 +0000

Last Monday’s episode of ‘Chuck’ moved the show a little closer to the impending marriage of its lead characters, which will no doubt serve as the season finale. It also brought back guest star Gary Cole as Sarah’s con artist father, which is great because Cole is always a lot of fun on any show...

It’s a Festivus Miracle – I’ve Cleared Out My DVR!

Josh Zyber — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 16:00:15 +0000

Something kind of amazing happened over the last week – something I haven’t experienced since… well, I honestly can’t remember how long. I didn’t even think it was possible. Yes, I’ve officially watched everything on my DVR! With the Christmas break, all of the shows I regularly watch are now on hiatus for at least...

‘The Good Guys’ 1.13 Recap: “You Ready to Bust Some Punks?”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 19:00:03 +0000

Did you realize that ‘The Good Guys’ is still on? I’ll admit that the show took quite a while to warm up. When I recapped the early episodes over the summer, I felt that it had a great premise and ideas, but just didn’t click like it was supposed to. However, even if I haven’t...
