During the heat of the summer (July 16, to be exact), comedian Jim Gaffigan began his Contagious Tour, which opened up in Seattle, Washington, and is now making his way to the east coast. It is the second consecutive year that writer, producer and general funnyman Gaffigan is starring in a cross-country tour. Last year, […]

We know that Matt Damon is returning to his role as Jason Bourne in an as-yet-untitled film (currently referred to as “Bourne 5”) set for release next year. What we also now know is that principal photography on the movie is officially underway. Photo or it didn’t happen? Producer Frank Marshall took care of that […]

The arrival of Labor Day weekend brought with it the end of the summer (though fall doesn’t officially begin until Sept. 23). Most kids have now begun the new school year. We’re ready for some football. And at the movies, the blockbusters have had their day (at least until Christmas time) and have to make […]

OK, we knew that Oliver Queen wasn’t really done being the Arrow. At the end of season three, he ran off with Felicity to presumably live a normal life of domestic bliss, away from Starling City’s crime and his team of vigilantes. But since the CW series wasn’t renamed “Team Arrow” or “Diggle and the […]

Earlier this week, Netflix announced that it wasn’t renewing its agreement with premium cable network Epix, meaning that several recent blockbuster releases like The Hunger Games, World War Z and Transformers: Age of Extinction would no longer be available on the streaming provider. No worries, claimed Netflix executive Ted Sarandos, because original movies were going […]

There are few actors working today that have done solid work for six decades and been able to remain consistently relevant. Lily Tomlin has not only been able to stay a presence in film and television, she was able to do it as a lesbian (not “out” for most of it, but tacitly admitted it […]

During Comic-Con in July, producers for Arrow revealed some of the changes that the show would undergo in season four. Oliver Queen was getting a new costume, and an official image was released at the time. Someone else sporting a new look will be Diggle, Oliver’s sidekick, former bodyguard and soldier who’s been a key part […]

Fall is right around the corner. Fall beers fill store shelves, Halloween and Thanksgiving are fast approaching and my favorite form of casualwear — jeans and a hoodie — is socially acceptable. It also means that football season is here. That doesn’t just mean watching my Hawkeyes and Bears every Saturday and Sunday. It’s planning 11 a.m. […]

Legendary horror director Wes Craven died on Sunday at the age of 76, following a battle with brain cancer. As you might expect, the film and culture internet soon filled with tributes to Craven and his film legacy. If you grew up watching movies in the 1980s, Craven’s name likely meant horror to you, with […]

When The CW announced it would be spinning off the popular DC Comics series Arrow to create The Flash, I was cautiously optimistic. I wasn’t sure how they were going to pull off The Flash’s character on a TV budget, I had concerns about Grant Gustin (a Glee alum) playing the part of the iconic […]

From 1960 to 2006, Tower Records was one of the coolest music store chains in the country with locations in cities such as San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles and Seattle. Eventually, the chain expanded overseas to London, Tokyo, Dublin and Bangkok. As you surely know, the music industry drastically changed in the mid-2000s, as […]

For about two minutes in front of millions of people, Kanye West paced back and forth, holding a trophy, in silence. Before we talk about what he said Sunday night at the VMAs and the context of the evening, I’d like to start there. In the hours passed since Kanye accepted the Video Vanguard Award from MTV […]

The tagline for Concussion that we’ll probably hear plenty of times over the next four months is “The film the NFL doesn’t want you to see!” But the story of traumatic brain injuries among NFL players, the doctors who tried to bring the issue to light and the league’s denial that such a problem was […]

Is it shallow to admit I was only initially interested in seeing Cop Car because director Jon Watts is set to helm the next Spider-Man movie? I had never heard of Watts before Marvel and Sony announced he had been hired, but quickly learned that his film was a hit at the Sundance Film Festival […]
