Now Streaming: ‘Lost in Space’ Season 1

Shannon Nutt — Tue, 24 Apr 2018 16:00:36 +0000

Although my tastes have evolved over the years, the original ‘Lost in Space‘ was the TV series was that made me a sci-fi fan. The show has always seemed ripe for a reboot/reimagining, but when the 1998 movie crashed at the box office, it seemed like the adventures of the Robinson family were indeed lost...

TIFF Journal: ‘Mascots’

Philip Brown — Tue, 13 Sep 2016 19:00:27 +0000

Even after his patented mockumentary style was co-opted by countless TV shows, there’s still only one Christopher Guest. His latest comedy, ‘Mascots’, serves up almost everything you could want from one of his hysterical and humanist productions (plus Fred Willard, who’s in the running for funniest human who ever lived). Guest is practically the Stanley...

‘Cafe Society’ Review: Another Year, Another Woody Allen Movie

Philip Brown — Wed, 27 Jul 2016 19:00:53 +0000

The presence of a new Woody Allen movie is a way of confirming the passage of time more reliable than your hair and/or waistline. They come annually, whether we like it or not. Sometimes it’s hard to tell if Woody Allen himself likes it or not. It seems like a compulsion at this point, like...

‘Irrational Man’ Review: Disposable Woody

Philip Brown — Thu, 23 Jul 2015 19:00:42 +0000

It ain’t easy being a Woody Allen fan these days. Aside from being required to ignore any and all news stories about his personal life, you also have to recognize that in order for Allen to maintain his one-movie-a-year schedule, most of them will be pretty bad. The ratio of bad Woodys to good Woodys...

Sundance Journal: ‘Price Check’

Aaron Peck — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 17:00:50 +0000

Many of the movies in the Premieres section at this year’s Sundance festival were quite mediocre, and some like ‘Lay the Favorite‘ were just plain terrible. ‘Price Check’ falls into the mediocre category. I like Parker Posey as much as the next person. Here she’s called upon to be Susan Felders, the world’s worst, most...

Sundance Journal: hitRECord.org Presentation

Aaron Peck — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:00:46 +0000

Not everything at Sundance is about watching movies. I made it a point to check out Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s hitRECord.org presentation too. hitRECord.org is a group of artistic collaborators who work together to create and finish projects. Sometimes the projects are short films. Other times they come out in the form of a book. ‘The Tiny...

NBC Thursday Night Comedy 5/5/11 Recap: “I Would Never Make a Work-Related Call, You Know That”

Dick Ward — Wed, 11 May 2011 17:00:18 +0000

If I didn’t know any better, I would have said that we’d already seen the season finales of most of NBC’s Thursday night lineup. Shirley had her kid, Michael Scott left, and the ‘TGS’ season wrapped up. That covers just about everything that you’d expect from season finales, but, for whatever reason, the season goes...
