[Warning: This is a recap and will likely only make sense if you’ve watched the season two finale of HBO’s The Leftovers. And with this show, maybe not even then. But that’s why we’re doing this, to go through it together.] Ev’ry day’s an endless stream Of cigarettes and magazines. And each town looks the same to me, […]

Saturday Night Live is fun again. For the third episode in a row, viewers were treated to some fantastic writing and performances from the cast. These are the types of shows that bring viewers back and put to rest the “Saturday Night Dead” articles for a few seasons. With two more episodes this month before […]

Pixar is the juggernaut of the animation world. The studio has released not only some of my favorite animated films, but some of my favorite films period. There’s Toy Story (and its impeccable sequels), Wall-E, The Incredibles, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, Inside Out, and the list goes on and on. Each release is flawlessly crafted and the end […]

Game of Thrones returns in April, which means we’ve got five more months to over-analyze every clue HBO drops about the fate of Jon Snow and all the rest of Westeros’ finest. The network released a teaser Thursday, and it’s pretty intense. The 41-second clip begins with Jon Snow looking alive and regal over a super-dramatic voiceover, then […]

Picture it: Houston on Nov. 1. I am watching score and stat updates at the bottom of the TV screen. I’m in town for a family wedding, so am stuck watching the Texans game. But, the day before, after agonizing over whether to start Andy Dalton or Eli Manning, I finally went with Dalton. He’d been more […]

As promised, the new full trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice premiered Wednesday night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! The three-minute preview provided plenty of new footage and money shots that will surely be screen-capped throughout the comic book and movie geekosphere. Yet I’m wondering how many people watched this thing and thought it was […]

Harrison Ford marches to the beat of his own drum when he makes public appearances, and his guest spot on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon was no different. Ford had some fun with Fallon, first acting disgusted when Fallon attempted a spit-take joke, telling the host “I’m an Academy Award-nominated actor, give me a […]

It was 18 months ago, but in a lot of ways it feels like it just happened yesterday. Max Levy, a then four-year old scamp with moderate hemophilia A, was on his way to school when his dad—cape-crusading as the guy writing these words to you—had to tell him some bad news. Max hurt his […]

It appears the Sylvester Stallone ’80s reboots are not going away anytime soon. The Rocky spin-off Creed is currently in the theaters — and getting great reviews — and now comes a report from The Hollywood Reporter that Sylvester Stallone has an agreement in place with FOX to executive produce a Rambo television series: “The network is teaming […]

Warner Brothers gave us a reason to watch Gotham Monday night — or at the least the last 15 minutes or so — promising a new sneak peek at the upcoming superhero blockbuster, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Would we get a full trailer or did “sneak peek” mean, well, exactly that and just […]

When the first trailer for Creed debuted in July, the movie seemed to have no intention of advertising itself as a Rocky movie. This was a new movie about a young boxer, presumably from a privileged background with a famous boxer as a father, and that gave him a significant chip on his shoulder. Michael […]

When the two stars appearing on the show was promoted, it was expected a big announcement would come with them. But did anyone anticipate that the trailer for Marvel’s next superhero […]

Brooklyn appears to be hitting theaters at exactly the right time. During the Thanksgiving holiday, many families will be looking for a movie they can see together, probably something with a bit more substance and wider appeal than The Peanuts Movie, The Good Dinosaur or even The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2. And with […]

As exciting and intriguing as the new seasons of The Flash and Arrow have been, there’s been an underlying sense that both shows have been at least somewhat devoted (or perhaps distracted) by setting up CW’s new superhero show, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. But now, the foreplay is essentially out of the way and the […]
