Interesting movie with a female lead that doesn't involve CGI mutant Japanese robots. Cool.

Can the lesson of the self-aware TV romcom be carried over the movies? One problem is romcom movie goers do NOT appreciate surprises. They consume their com coms as 'comfort food', bland and familiar with little nutritional content. When such movies get a surprise twist ending the studio will focus-group the shit out…

Plus the show won the CW their first two Emmys I believe.

Also on the CW last year was "No Tomorrow", a wacky romcom that upended the will they-won't they trope by having the heroine dump her old boyfriend then bang the new guy on the first date in the premiere. Within the first 3 minutes of the show the girl was chided 'Don't be that girl who defines herself by the pursuit…

She's a 'Gossip Girl' girl, though I'm not exactly familiar with that series, myself. Has a birthday in less than a week (yes, I Googled her).

'Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles' had been up on the CW 'Seed' website for full series free viewing for years, it only recently got pulled. Its worth the watching if you're a Firefly or Game of Thrones actor fan. Also, as an aside, the NBC website has got the full 'The Good Place' series up for free viewing, not…

Y'know, instead of covering this show you could've covered a couple of spectacularly mediocre episodes of 'Powerless'. But I guess far more people hate-watch 'The Walking Dead' than are hate-watching 'Powerless'. Me, I prefer to hate-watch Grey's Anatomy.

Oh, THAT'S who that is! I caught an episode and was thinking "I know that actress. where do I know that actress?"

Megyn Kelly got LOTS of promotions while at Fox News, didn't she? Should we see her as a probable victim or as complicit?

I'm reminded of the infamous 'Trump Modeling Agency' that imported girls from Eastern Europe to work as models, set them up in dormitories and charged so much in 'rent' that the women were working as virtual slaves. Are the rumors true that they changed this show name to "Reality TV exploits naïve young women"?

That barbed wire bat showed up as a joke on an episode of Big Bang Theory. So its now ranked among Spock ears, collector figurines and hermetically sealed comic books as nebbish geek icons.

1965 was right on the cusp of the wholesale upending of old Hollywood. classic film writers and directors will soon be unable to get a job, classic movie stars will be put out to pasture. 1965 was the year of "The Sound of Music". Next year will come "Whose Afraid of Virginia Wolf", "Alfie" and "Blow-up".

I believed I was the only person to use the vernacular 'kinda' in written sentences (though I thought it was spelled kind'a with an apostrophe). But here's reviewer Joshua using the word twice in one sentence!

The problem with this show is they think Will Forte is funny. I mean they put him in front of the camera and have him yammer randomly and they call that humor. This is a problem I have with a fair number of SNL alums, they tend carry-over that show's "Laugh at this moron saying stupid stuff" humor that's pretty much…

I recall watching a real sad sack low-rent Bozo show as a child growing up in Maine. Yes, he was called 'Bozo', not a knock-off. Just filler between the cartoons, as I recall.

This film seems to proof that the super-rich just have too damned much money. They have nothing else to do with their gold (heaven forbid the build factories in the US and make practical stuff) so they invest it in dozens of bad CGI-heavy film at 150-300 million dollars a pop. I read that there are 68(?) comic book…

About top cinematographers working on a crap film, I once rented a random video store movie (back when they still existed) that had in big letters on the cover "Featuring Ingmar Bergman's cinematographer!" That film was also grotesquely incompetent, in much the same way you're describing this film here. It may rank as…

I recall at roughly the same time the maker's of a bicycle night riding light got into trouble because the rapidly flashing red light could cause seizures in motorists approaching from behind. Oops!

I have an oooold Bill O'Reilly tale back from when he was a Boston sports reporter. I was on a date with a certain young woman when she got an unexpected phone call. She came away for the phone bummed-out. I asked her what was wrong. She said the married man she had been seeing on the side just called long distance to…

The only way to explain the 6 year sentence is if the incident was preceded by lots of drinking and then some idiot yelling "Hey, watch this!" I recall William S. Burroughs killed his second wife while drunkenly trying to shoot an apple off her head at a party.
