This goes without saying, but Mel Brooks knows what life is about.

I rented "The Visit," and the surprise twist at the end is that it was a fairly decent movie. Shyamalan slam!

I was also shocked to learn that the singer wasn’t J. Geils. Someone drew the short straw in that band. I think “Do You Remember When,” “River Blindness,” and “Angel in Blue” are lost classics, and Freeze Frame is still one of my favorite albums. And, unfortunately, I think the last line on the album from “Piss on the…

Freeze Frame by The J. Geils Band was one of my favorite albums as a kid. My brother had it on record, and I played the keyboard-blasting title track and “Centerfold” to death when he wasn’t around. Then when I got older, I bought the newly remastered live album Blow Your Face Out, which was recorded in the '70s, on…

They’re signed by Ross Bagdasarian, Jr., too!

I remember a similar screening of "Gremlins." I was one of those crying kids. Well-known fun fact: this movie, along with "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom," inspired the PG-13 rating.

"21 Jump Street"? (the movie, not the show)

And "The Simpsons" actually predicted that would happen years before. There was an episode where Bart (or someone) was going to the movies, and there were two movie posters next to each other: one for a new "Star Wars" movie apologizing for the prequels and a new Chipmunks movie. (I think it was called "Getting…

You guys, of course, omitted the Chipmunks’ first theatrical movie, 1987’s “The Chipmunk Adventure,” which I still maintain is one of the best children’s movies of all time. Not only does it showcase a little travelogue for the inexperienced tykes watching (sort of an earth’s greatest hits), it features fantastic…

I literally thought this headline was a joke (“Ha ha, wouldn’t it be funny if there was a movie about emojis?”). But no. This is a thing that is actually happening.

I decided to show my 4-year-old daughter this classic yesterday for the first time, even though I haven't seen it in years. I had no idea until reading this article that yesterday was the exact 50-year anniversary of this special, a coincidence I'm sure Seuss himself would love. As for my daughter's verdict of the…

This may be because I'm not a sports fan, but I have absolutely no idea what the headline is trying to say.

I was thinking the same thing, since I also saw that show, and because this version of "Little Shop" only played two (or three?) performances, there's a good chance we were at the same show. Small world and all that.

Of all the online tributes to Thicke I’ve read, I’m surprised not one mentioned his hilarious cameos parodying himself on the Robin Sparkles episodes of “How I Met Your Mother.” (“Hey, I’M Alan Thicke!”) Or maybe everyone is just trying to forget about “HIMYM” after its disastrous finale.

Glad to see "The Good Place" made the cut.

I think the Charlie Brown-Linus reference was intentional. Not only were Butters and Cartman in the exact same poses, they used some of the same phrases. “Don’t feel too bad,” etc.

I don't normally post on here just to offer compliments, but this piece was spectacularly written.

Well, apparently, I just learned that this show only has 13 episodes this season, so that may explain the hurried plot.

You mentioned William Atherton being in “Ghostbusters,” but Reginald VelJohnson was also in that movie while also playing a cop. He’s the guy who lets the Ghostbusters out of their prison cell at the end. Blink and you’ll miss him. Also, there’s an infamous Hollywood story that one of the “‘Die Hard’-in-a-something”…

Like the reviewer, this show for me went from pretty good to good to great. I am always surprised at the twist endings, yet they have all been earned and have only served to deepen the world the show created and my appreciation for the show itself. Also, not to sound too snarky, but these reviews are reeaaallly long.…
