Tomorrow, November 30th, A&E brings back Hoarders for its second season, and if you haven't caught this show yet, get set for an unbelievable story. The show details the lives of people who suffer from extreme hoarding, a condition which renders them incapable of getting rid of anything, even if it's not only useless, but actually hazardous. You may know people who have a lot of junk in … [Read more...]
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of EyeFi. All opinions are 100% mine. Sometimes things get just simple enough that they never get done, and it takes a while before we get that final step that actually makes things as easy and convenient as it takes to make sure they happen. In the world of digital pictures, this is where Eye-Fi comes in. When you're in the store picking out a … [Read more...]
If you haven't managed to catch It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia yet, you're missing one of the funniest, most caustic shows that's ever been on the small screen. The wildly unpredictable crew of Paddy's come together for a holiday event like nothing you've seen before in A Very Sunny Christmas. While the show is the blackest of comedies at the best of times, things get turned up (or down) a … [Read more...]
TNT, who are doing pretty well in terms of original shows by my score, have a new show premiering December 7th at 10/9c, and it looks like another effort with serious potential. Men of a Certain Age stars Ray Romano, Scott Bakula, and Andre Braugher, and I like the general look of things. While I haven't had a chance to view a complete episode yet, I've seen a lot of clips and talked to several … [Read more...]
We all know that shows that make it to eighth and ninth seasons are pretty rare, but shows that make it that far and still push themselves are rarer still. Scrubs is such a show, and while it may not be for everyone, you've got to appreciate a show that doesn't rest on its laurels and churn out "easy" episodes when it's this far along. That may sound rather strange to serious fans. What with … [Read more...]

Continuing the Bud franchise after 2006 saw the spin into the Buddies series, Santa Buddies: The Legend of Santa Paws adds a holiday installment to the talking dog line. Air Buddies cornered the live-action direct-to-video market when it came out, and the follow-up Snow Buddies became the best-selling live-action direct-to-DVD title of all time. There's something about these little puppies, … [Read more...]
Now available at the App Store, Ninja Assassin is based on the film, and throws you into the role. You'll swipe the screen to swing your sword, tap to hide and throw shurikens, and much more. I haven't had a chance to exhaust the game, but it's a fun, highly-stylized hack-and-slash with some twists. Additional game modes add to the playability, but the story mode is the main thing, and the … [Read more...]
I must start with a brief warning. This is ridiculously long. It is also rather vague at points in an effort to avoid spoiling too much, which is not particularly possible in any case. On the other hand, if you think that the experience of watching this movie could be ruined even if I told you everything that happens, then you should under no circumstances bother with it anyway... and there's no … [Read more...]
Coming to select theaters December 18th is a film that has been receiving a lot of critical praise, and looks absolutely brilliant. The film is The Young Victoria, and it has an incredible team involved. Directed by Jean-Marc Vallée, written by Academy Award Winner Julian Fellowes (Gosford Park), and produced by a team including Graham King (The Departed), Martin Scorsese, Tim Headington and … [Read more...]
Despite the familiarity of several names (Jon Cryer, James Spader, William H. Macy, and more), Shorts is a decidedly difficult movie for adults to enjoy. A product of those responsible for Spy Kids, that fact is probably a pretty good test. Similarly playing out like a live-action cartoon, those who enjoy one will likely enjoy the other. We follow a group of children and their parents as a … [Read more...]
Film adaptations of wildly popular books is a tricky realm at the best of times. There are so many things to balance, even above and beyond the normal host of things to balance, that you'd hate to bet on success... except in terms of dollars, of course. You've got to find a way to appease the rabid fans, but you also have to make it possible for the uninitiated to wander in, and somehow it has to … [Read more...]
Planet 51 is an odd entry into the animated feature realm. With only "fairly cute" and "moderately entertaining" in its arsenal, Planet 51 is easily overlooked, and I suspect, destined to be forgotten rather quickly. Under normal circumstances, I believe I would be on board with a general effort of leaving the film as unnoticed as huge marketing campaigns will allow, but I saw the movie with my … [Read more...]

It's about the time of year that we're almost getting too late for "Best Shows You Aren't Watching," but if you still aren't tuning your set to ABC's Modern Family, I think you're really missing out. I've got some sneaks from the next episode, "Fizbo," for you, and I'm going to include a Hulu player so you can catch up if you need to, and check out a few other interesting behind-the-scenes … [Read more...]
A Single Man was chosen as the Closing Night feature at this year's AFI Fest, and there are some nice clips to help you get ready for the December 11th release. The Closing Night Gala presentation of A SINGLE MAN features the directorial debut of fashion designer Tom Ford from his script adaptation of Christopher Isherwood’s acclaimed novel. The film follows a day in the life of a gay British … [Read more...]
