Wow. What a great movie. I was a fan of the show, in all its HBO glory. I thought network TV watered the raunchy out of the series on the WB/CW a bit much. The movie bridged the two styles well, in a story that tied into the show well while also standing on its [...]

Saw the latest movie, and I have to say — it’s great to have Indiana Jones back. I caution you, if you read further, there will be spoilers — so if you don’t want to know, don’t read. I loved this series as a kid (in fact, I wanted to be an archeologist) as a [...]

NKOTB reunites (or, New Kids On The Block for the tragically unhip). The X-Files live again in a movie. Sex in the City will also see a comeback in a movie. A Clinton is running for office. And 90210 is set to return to the tube. This is weird, right?

The 65-year-old Harrison Ford reprises his role for “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.” Lucasfilm sent me this trailer (accompanied by an Indiana Jones-like whip — that’s already been appropriated elsewhere in the newsroom). Click here to view the trailer.

Glad that they gave Marketa Irglova time to say her piece. If you missed it, the winner for Best Song, along with Glen Hansard from the film “Once,” was music-overed when she got to the mike. If you cut down just a little on the retrospectives, people, everyone would have a enough time to thank [...]

Old Navy, of course. So much fashion, so little time. My thoughts: Jennifer Garner looked amazing in her strapless black dress. But what was up with her hair?

Gee, so glad they found a way to use those interviews and retrospectives show producers did in case the strike was still happening. I was mildly interested, until the fourth one. Thank God the writer’s strike is over and it wasn’t four hours of this. As I was about to post, I saw the “binocular/periscope” [...]
