If August: Osage County , the film adaptation of the popular play, wasn't on your radar yet, it certainly will be from now on. Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep are attached to the film, and while the film isn't even shooting for several months, this is going to be one you won't want to miss. Whether you're a fan of the actresses or not, the play is wonderful, and is sure to make for the sort of film people are going to want to own. Streep will be moving in just about as opposite a direction... Read Full Story

The second season of Being Human kicks off on Syfy on January 16th, and the show delivered well enough the first season to warrant some real excitement when it comes to how things will continue on. It's becoming increasingly rare that British translations work out, and this one has been a welcome surprise. To help kick things off, I have a couple of very cool clips, and an interview with the stars. Let's just dive in. ‘Relationships’ ‘A Look Ahead’ And, here's the interview... Read Full Story

The Wolf Pack is back, and this time they're terrorizing Thailand. The Hangover Part 2 is on Blu-Ray, and I've got your copy waiting for you. This time around, suspect of everything at this point, Stu ( Ed Helms ) doesn't even want a bachelor party, and it's only by way of a guilt trip that Alan ( Zach Galifianakis ) is allowed to come to the wedding at all. In fact, Stu is so paranoid that he doesn't want to leave his finacee's side, and is only willing to have one beer with the guys... Read Full Story

Hitting theaters on March 9th is not only what looks to be a great movie, with a brilliant cast, but a film you can real cheer for just based on the writer/director. Friends with Kids is written and directed by Jennifer Westfeldt , and while being in a relationship with Mad Men's Jon Hamm for more than a decade probably doesn't hurt your career, she broke out as both a writer and actress with 2001's uber-indie Kissing Jessica Stein . Not just a quirky charmer, that film has gone on to... Read Full Story

A couple of FOX 's big shows, mainly Bones and Fringe , have outstayed their welcome really, but Bones is at least trying to provide some more entertainment for its fans, sort of. Billed to some extent as a spin-off, despite having no justifiable claim to the idea, The Finder may nevertheless turn into a hit based on some theory we might connect to the general idea of spin-offs. Generally speaking, having a show put together already, and then having characters from that show guest star on... Read Full Story

An update on Fright Night , even if only loosely connected, might seem odd, but I suppose with the popularity of vampires, werewolves, and so forth on the upswing, nothing in the general realm is really a surprise. But, while every manner of vampire story is making its way to a screen of some sort, and largely with less than impressive results, Fright Night is an update in a truer sense than most, and that ultimately means much more than simply putting out yet another tale of the undead...

The Critics's Choice Movie Awards are only a couple of days away now, and I really hope you're going to be tuning in. I've cast my votes, the film's are great, and it's going to be a great time. The awards are Thursday, January 12th at 8:00 PM ET/PT on VH1, and I think they are going to be especially good this year. Among the usual fantasticness in store, it was recently announced that Sean Penn will be receiving our Joel Siegel award this year, and George Clooney will be presenting... Read Full Story

In the realm of reality shows with questionable audience interest, Dance Moms lives in a special place that makes its popularity especially difficult to understand. Generally, the arena of reality television I like to refer to as the "negative viewership" branch is split into two groups - the screaming, and the odd. I say negative viewership, because by and large (one hopes) people aren't coming to the show with a positive outlook. For example, in the one category, people are not watching... Read Full Story

I'm sure they exist, but it's almost unfathomable to imagine a cinephile who does not count themselves as a fan of the work of Martin Scorsese . Out of the group of directors who came into their own in the 1970's, the decade that revolutionized the art of filmmaking, Scorsese is perhaps the most influential of them all (with the possible exception of Steven Spielberg ). Scorsese's films, from Taxi Driver to Goodfellas to The Departed , have made an indelible mark on the consciousness of... Read Full Story
