If you’ve ever contemplated what combining the flavors of Buffalo sauce and a donut might taste like, Tim Hortons has just the thing for you. State fairs are typically a breeding ground for all sorts of horrifying food hybrids, usually fried. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that Tim Hortons’ new “Buffalo Crunch” donut is […]

It’s difficult to take the Legends (Lingerie) Football League all that seriously when players are outfitted in bikinis, shoulder pads and helmets. But maybe we should take the competition seriously. The Atlanta Steam and Jacksonville Breeze certainly seemed to be playing for keeps during the LFL’s Eastern Conference Championship. After the game (which Atlanta won), […]

We’ve had plenty of biopics about politicians and musicians. But how many have we gotten about comedians? (Milos Forman’s Man on the Moon about Andy Kaufman is the last one to come to mind. And that was released in 1999.) That could be changing soon with the news that Mike Epps has been cast to […]

If you stayed with the 2014 Emmy Awards Monday night, you probably thought it was a boring, lackluster production with few surprises. And maybe you were a little miffed that Modern Family won so many awards when there are bolder, funnier comedies on television right now. But if you tuned in for that first hour, […]

The market for retail coffee service among consumers is a fierce one, so bold moves often seem necessary to stand out from the competition. As Canada’s largest fast food operator, Tim Hortons might not need to take drastic measures to attract people to their coffee, doughnuts and lunch menu. However, that didn’t stop the restaurant […]

Some of you may know this, but many others might not: Nicolas Cage almost played Superman. The movie, titled Superman Lives, was being developed by director Tim Burton with a projected 1998 release. Characters and costumes were designed. Locations were scouted out. But by 2000, the production was dead. There were rumors of script changes, budget concerns […]

Cinemax’s new series, The Knick, wastes no time in establishing that its main character, Dr. John Thackery (Clive Owen) is TV’s newest antihero, someone you may not be entirely comfortable rooting for as the series progresses. The show opens in 1900 New York City with Thackery in an opium den, and just to remind you […]

We can all agree that this has been a terrible week, right? Between Robin Williams’ death, massive flooding in Detroit and the awful situation in Ferguson, we’ve been reminded just how awful the world can be. Little moments of joy like Baby Groot dancing in Guardians of the Galaxy can help break up the misery, if […]

I think it’s amazing that a movie about legendary escape artist and magician Harry Houdini hasn’t been made yet. But maybe performers like David Blaine and Criss Angel satisfied the appetite for such stunts. And movies like Christopher Nolan’s The Prestige and Neil Burger’s The Illusionist (both of which came out in 2006) told stories somewhat […]

Like just about everyone plugged into media last night, Conan O’Brien was stunned to learn of Robin Williams’ death. But most of us processing the news didn’t have to do so while taping a late-night talk show. That’s the unfortunate position O’Brien, co-host Andy Richter and guest Will Arnett were in Monday night, literally breaking […]

Star Wars: Episode VII director J.J. Abrams has been mischievous with his reveals of anything from the set or any hints as to the movie’s story. When rumors and photos of the Millennium Falcon were circulating around the internet, Abrams released a photo with a note saying he wished people would stop making such claims. But […]

You can’t get much more “teaser” than a 10-second clip. That’s exactly how much of a preview AMC gave viewers for its Breaking Bad spinoff, Better Call Saul, during a marathon of the Emmy-winning drama on Sunday. Here is the very quick sneak peek featuring Bob Odenkirk’s title character, all 10 seconds of it. As […]

Perhaps you saw Terrell Owens making an appearance at Steven Jackson’s art show on the premiere episode of HBO’s Hard Knocks and, like Jackson, wondered what the former NFL star receiver is up to these days. Well, it looks like he’s still doing some football, but with Terry Crews and the Brooklyn Nine-Nine cast. On […]

Earlier this summer, Lifetime announced that it was developing a movie about Saved By the Bell, based on Dustin Diamond’s 2012 memoir. The network released an accompanying photo of the cast dressed up as their characters. Further evidence that this TV movie is really happening came out this week, as Lifetime gave BuzzFeed (which is […]
