We don’t yet know who the leading candidates are for the 87th Academy Awards. At this point on the calendar, many of the films that could be nominated for Best Picture, along with the possible nominees for the leading and supporting actor awards, haven’t even been released in theaters yet. (Although based on Argo and 12 Years a Slave winning […]

Your days of pirating HBO programming by mooching off your parents’ or friends’ HBO Go password may be soon coming to an end. During a presentation to Time Warner investors, network chairman and CEO Richard Plepler announced plans for HBO to offer a stand-alone streaming service in the U.S. beginning next year. Citing 10 million homes that […]

Instead of teaming up with The Avengers to fight the bad guys, could Iron Man and Captain America soon oppose each other in a Marvel movie? Robert Downey Jr. was coy about playing Tony Stark in a fourth Iron Man film while promoting The Judge last week. As it turns out, Downey knew he’d be donning […]

This comic book geek is ridiculously excited about Marvel’s upcoming Netflix series, Daredevil. Batman and Spider-Man were largely my favorites as a kid (especially if you look at how much those two occupy my old comic book collection), but I’d always been fascinated by the blind superhero who got through life and fought crime based […]

Christmas specials are always kind of lame, right? There’s maybe a little bit of “so bad that it’s good to them,” with the gaudy sweaters, snowy cabin settings, mistletoe hanging, fireplace crackling, egg nog and brandy in hand, and of course, singing. Oh, the singing of those classic Christmas carols. Apparently, Bill Murray has an […]

AMC’s The Walking Dead continues to be an unstoppable ratings juggernaut… kind of like a zombie that just won’t die. But you already knew that metaphor was coming. Sunday’s season 5 premiere (Oct. 12) scored the series’ highest ratings ever, drawing an estimated 17.3 million viewers. That’s up seven percent from the show’s season 4 […]

Coming off playing Drax the Destroyer in this summer’s Guardians of the Galaxy (in which he was surprisingly good), Dave Bautista would figure to be in higher demand. Maybe not in starring roles, but certainly for flashy supporting parts. That’s indeed where the former WWE champion is going on the big screen, as Bautista has scored […]

What is Brad Bird’s Tomorrowland? Ever since the director announced his latest project, there’s been curiosity about it. With films like The Iron Giant, The Incredibles and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol on his resume, anything Bird does is going to attract a certain amount of interest. Add Disney as the studio and George Clooney as […]

Gone Girl feels like a movie that should go in a time capsule because it captures the current culture we live in so well. If someone wants to know 25 years from now what life was like in 2014, I’d consider showing him or her this film. That may say more about me than the […]

Apparently, there is a massive spoiler for Star Wars: Episode VII available on the internet. When I say “massive,” I mean something that could completely ruin your enjoyment of the movie before seeing it. And we’re still 15 months away from Episode VII ‘s Dec. 18, 2015 theatrical release. Badass Digest’s Devin Faraci had someone explain […]

As long as there is television, there will be cop shows. But have there been that many good police comedies on TV? Movies have mastered the “buddy-cop” dynamic for years, so it stands to reason that TV would adapt one of the most popular in recent memory for a possible show. CBS has ordered a pilot […]

One of the most anticipated movies of the fall is Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar. With a release date of Nov. 7, there’s not much time before this movie hits theaters. Thus, the latest trailer now available is the last one we’ll see before the film opens. As the trailer indicates, Interstellar deals with space travel (and […]

If you’re of the opinion that a new Paul Thomas Anderson film is an event and deserves to be anticipated as such, then you are surely excited about the director’s upcoming movie, Inherent Vice. (We would include ourselves in that group here at The AP Party.) Based on the novel by Thomas Pynchon, the noirish […]

At this very early stage of the 2014 fall TV season, one new show that critics loathe is NBC’s The Mysteries of Laura. In the past, that sort of universal deriding might have piqued my curiosity. How bad could it really be, I’d ask myself. Or I’d tune in just to see a train wreck […]

Nasim Pedrad won’t be back for the 40th season of Saturday Night Live, as she now has a role on Fox’s new sitcom, Mulaney. While talking to Conan O’Brien Monday night to promote the show (and talk about meeting Kim Kardashian, whom she frequently impersonated), Pedrad mentioned that she could never get her impression of comedian […]
