Review: The Men Who Stare At Goats

08 Nov 2009 20:45:35 PST

Written by Screaming Blue Reviews
Likewise Clooney gives his best performance since Syriana in a film that bookends his 1999 Desert Storm adventure Three Kings. Apparently borrowing Dennis Farina’s moustache and stripped down physically to not much more than leathery skin and sad eyes, Cassidy is a dying shell of a ma...

Opinion: Saturday Night Live – “November 7th, 2009 – Taylor Swift”

07 Nov 2009 22:02:15 PST

Written by Myles
The rest of the show felt about as limp as SNL has been as of late. The opening sketch had some great line readings by Bill Hader and the clever mouth-shift (from left to right) from Kristen Wiig, the Swine Fever gag was overdone but clever enough, and Weekend Update had the always welcome retu...

Opinion: Smallville 9×7 – “Kandor”

07 Nov 2009 20:44:41 PST

Written by Quinn
I’m definitely not going to say the episode was perfect, but it seemed to be, in a lot of ways, a tribute to the Superman universe and Smallville itself. The character of Jor-El has been a lot like the character of Lionel Luthor – where you’re constantly questioning whether or not Jor-El is a...

Well, at least I’m not alone in my mixed feelings. The critics are too. One review called him “perhaps the only reason why this reverent revival of one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays is on Broadway” and said that he gave “a fresh interpretation” (though the same reviewer also claimed that t...

Opinion: Star Trek: The Next Generation--"Unification II"

03 Nov 2009 20:17:00 PST

Written by noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords)
It is not that bad, but the opening verbal duel with Spock and Picard is the weakest of both episodes. They are just throwing out all of Spock’s plan in one lump in order to justify his being on Romulus before the action starts. Jeri Taylor even makes an effort to distract us with aquip from Spock...

Opinion: Rihanna Says Rated R Is 'Super Fearless -- Exactly How I Feel Right Now'

03 Nov 2009 02:03:00 PST

You'd never know it from the swagger she has in the just-released clip for "Wait Your Turn," but as a girl from a modest home in Barbados, Rihanna never dreamed she'd rise to the top of the pop world by her early 20s. In a wide-ranging interview for Glamour magazine's current "Women of the Year...

Opinion: Perez Hilton's Rumors of Fidel Castro's Death Were Greatly Exaggerated [Book Club]

02 Nov 2009 12:47:02 PST

Written by Gabriel Snyder
Pérez Hilton had made his name chronicling the comings, goings, arrests and rehabs of teen queens like Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan. Evidently, he was not deterred in his entry into foreign affairs by his bogus scoop. Indeed, it justified a round of self-congratulation.

As we watch the dancers open the show, we start with the newest addition to the Top 20: Brandon. Even after meeting these contestants yesterday, I still don't know them.

I watched VH1’s Diva’s concert last night and I knew that I was going to like the concert because some of my favorite people were singing such as Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Clarkson, Adele and Leona Lewis but I came away with a much deeper appreciation that I didn’t expect.

Review: Fanboys Might Have Been Funny 'A Long Time Ago'

The question isn't whether Fanboys, the long-awaited Star Wars nerd road comedy, is funny. It's not. Wired: Cameos by sci-fi legends remind us why we are fanboys. Tired: Gags not lifted from other road movies are ripped from more-effective Star Wars parodies. Rating: See also:
