Weekend Roundtable: Worst Movie & TV Fake Accents

Josh Zyber — Fri, 16 Sep 2016 19:00:07 +0000

I haven’t watched ‘Bridget Jones’s Diary’ in years and don’t remember it clearly. Was Renée Zellweger’s fake British accent in that one as awful as it sounds in the trailers for this week’s belated sequel, or is she just woefully out of practice? With that as our first example, let’s look at some other embarrassing...

Weekend Roundtable: TV Shows That Outstayed Their Welcome

Josh Zyber — Fri, 22 Apr 2016 19:00:30 +0000

Recent news that behind-the-scenes turmoil at ABC’s long-running ‘Castle’ will result in one of the co-leads exiting the series begs the question: How is ‘Castle’ even still on the air? Once a fairly amusing riff on the crime procedural genre, the show ran out of steam a long time ago and has been coasting for...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of April 10th, 2016 – Suspicious Minds

Josh Zyber — Mon, 11 Apr 2016 12:00:56 +0000

Last week brought a massive blockbuster hit to Blu-ray, the type of movie that scares away any serious competition. Apparently, this week is still feeling the aftershocks of that. If you’re a fan of classic films, however, I have a suspicion you might find something of interest. New Releases ‘The Forest‘ – Natalie Dormer from...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of October 11th, 2015 – The Fault in Our Backyards

Josh Zyber — Mon, 12 Oct 2015 12:00:25 +0000

For a holiday week (admittedly, a minor holiday), the Blu-ray release schedule is surprisingly packed with new discs this week. Just looking at the huge list makes my eyes glaze over. How can we pick out the few titles possibly worth buying? New Releases ‘San Andreas‘ – In the event that the biggest earthquake in...

‘Heroes Reborn’ Pilot (a.k.a. ‘Heroes’ 5.01) Recap: “How’s That for the Worst Power Ever?”

Josh Zyber — Mon, 28 Sep 2015 19:00:26 +0000

How desperate must NBC be to bring back ‘Heroes’ this season? Did anyone miss the show in the five years it’s been off the air? The network describes ‘Heroes Reborn’ as a “retooling” rather than a reboot, but as near as I can tell it’s just more of the same. Several major cast members have...

A few of the fall TV season’s new shows have already premiered, but this week brings the first truly big push. Which new dramas and comedies have caught your attention? In the poll below, I’ve done my best to compile a list of the fall’s new dramas and comedies. The list does not include Reality...

Weekend Roundtable: Hate-Watching TV

Josh Zyber — Fri, 18 Jul 2014 19:00:47 +0000

This week’s Roundtable was inspired by a couple of TV shows currently on the air. Have you ever found yourself hate-watching a show just so that you could complain about it afterwards, or at least so that you’ll understand what other people are complaining about? We sure have. Shannon Nutt For those of you who...

TV Madness: Reynolds vs. Sylar

Aaron Peck — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 19:00:10 +0000

The TV Madness battle between David Banner versus Sherlock Holmes is still a very close race. We’ll have to see how that one plays out when the poll closes. Today is the last match-up of the final sixteen characters. After today’s match, we’ll be down to eight. Let’s see what happens when fan-favorite Malcolm Reynolds...

Weekend Roundtable: Best & Worst TV Finales

Josh Zyber — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 19:00:26 +0000

During the months of May and June, the major broadcast networks wind down their TV seasons and make way for the cable nets to dominate the summer. Most of the shows we’ve watched over the past several months have either already rolled out their season (and in some cases, series) finale episodes or will do...

TV Madness: Kirk vs. Sylar – Blane vs. Spencer

Aaron Peck — Wed, 09 May 2012 19:00:44 +0000

Perhaps riding a wave of good will since ‘The Avengers’ hit theaters, David “Bruce” Banner/The Hulk easily took out the chiseled, muscular Hercules in our last round of TV Madness. In the other match, sheer brawn and determination won out over firepower as Spartacus decapitated Sonny Crockett before he could get to his gun. Also,...

TV Madness: Sylar vs. Scofield – Profit vs. Spartacus

Aaron Peck — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 19:00:43 +0000

Our first TV Madness match-up is done. Dexter Morgan stuffed martial arts master Caine, dismembered, into a few hefty bags and then sunk them to the bottom of Biscayne Bay. In the other match-up, CIA agent Annie Walker was no challenge for Hulk Hogan’s bulging biceps and idiotic acting. Hurricane Spencer and Dexter Morgan move...

‘Touch’ Pilot Recap: “We All Have a Destiny”

Josh Zyber — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:00:24 +0000

Amid persistent rumors that a ’24’ movie may be in the works soon, Kiefer Sutherland has already returned to Fox primetime in the new series ‘Touch’, a drama with a sci-fi or possibly supernatural bent. The network ran a preview of the pilot episode last week and will pick up the rest of the show’s...
