Posted by ScuzzBuster January 18, 2010 We’re a short time away from the Oscar announcements the first week of February and it’s time to take stock of the sideshow that is the Academy Awards. Like last year, we’ll be posting a 2009 wrap up of notable films (I don’t do “10 Best Lists” or anything, see our 2008 Notable Film Awards ). Expect my “notable” list in the next few days–I have one 2009 release that’s waiting for a viewing that I would be remiss to not consider before posting my... Read Full Story

Doctor Who: The End of Time Marks the End of an Era In Front and Behind the Cameras."> Doctor Who: The End of Time Marks the End of an Era In Front and Behind the Cameras. Posted by ScuzzBuster January 6, 2010 I am admittedly a multi decade Doctor Who fanboy, but I’m not an irrational one. I do believe that the health of the show since its return in 2005 is generally top-notch. We’ve had the pleasure over the past 5 years of seeing some of the best moments in the nearly half a...

Sherlock Holmes : Did We Really Need Another? One Word Answer: Downey, Jr! Or is That 2 Words?"> Sherlock Holmes : Did We Really Need Another? One Word Answer: Downey, Jr! Or is That 2 Words? Posted by ScuzzBuster January 1, 2010 Let me make one thing perfectly clear: from 1984 to 1994 the definitive versions of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes literature was adapted by Grenada Television.

Posted by ScuzzBuster December 21, 2009 James Cameron long ago reached that pinnacle of Hollywood Celebrity reserved for that oh-so-elite few who automatically inspire sprays of internet venom the second their name becomes attached to a project.

Posted by ScuzzBuster November 15, 2009 First, before I even broach the subject of the movie itself, I have to say I have a slight ethical problem with the marketing of the film. It’s a minor nag but I have a serious issue with anything that deliberately feeds on the gullibility of the... Read Full Story
