Review: Get Smart

Every person that reviewed this movie poorly is clinically retarded. Would you believe severely traumatized? All of you who loved the television series Get Smart should LOVE this movie. It may have quelled some fears if the tag “consultants: Mel Brooks and Buck Henry” came at the beginning of the movie, since these original series co-creators can hardly touch anything

Review: Speed Racer

With the history surrounding Speed Racer, and the craftsmanship employed by the Wachowski Brother’s one would expect the final product of a feature film version of the classic anime series to completely blow the audience away. However, at the end of the two-plus-hour-film all you are likely to remember is the remarkable race scenes and how you’re likely to skip

TV Round Up

As the season (if you actually call this hodge-podge of shows dodging the Writer’s Strike a season) winds down the networks are beginning to cut away the fat and several mid-season shows are being shown walking papers. The much ballyhooed Jericho on CBS will be showing its series finale last week after the network had an internal meeting last week

Review: Transformers

The most eagerly anticipated film of the summer is finally here, the long in gestation Transformers film came to the big screen never shying away from the controversy fans bestowed upon it.

CBS Kills Medial Drama ’3 lbs’

CBS has pulled the proverbial plug on medial drama 3 lbs after only three weeks of moderately rated episodes. In fact, the show’s average number of viewers was nearly 1 million less than previously scheduled, and canceled, occupant Smith which packed up after only three episodes earlier this year to be run out online.

The rating’s challenged, critically lauded ABC drama The Nine has been put on hiatus by the network as of Saturday when the midst of the media were on leave for the holiday.

Not Much of a ‘Break’

FOX’s Prison Break will be taking a winter break again this season, but not quite as long as it did last year. During the breakout show’s first season new episodes ceased in November with the drama returning in late March to finish up the season with fellow Monday night occupant 24. FOX has scheduled a similar move for season two,

Review: Jackass: Number Two

Jackass: Number Two lives up to everything we would expect after the first time and a successful TV show. The sequel is bigger and certainly pushes the limits of what we might consider good taste, but its all for a laugh, so, in the end, it works. Like the original film, Number Two is book ended by some scripted sequences:
