Season two of Marvel’s Daredevil on Netflix was expected to include some new characters — especially the more famous ones from comic book storylines, such as Matt Murdock’s one-time lover Elektra and the assassin Bullseye. But the first season of Daredevil established a dark, gritty world with street-level vigilantes taking on human traffickers, drug dealers […]

Netflix’s Orange is the New Black is set to start its third season this week, being available to stream on Saturday (June 12 at 3 a.m. ET/ 12 midnight PT). There hasn’t been much released plot-wise to what’s going to happen to our favourite Litchfield Penitentiary residents, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be excited for […]

One of the more intriguing sci-fi novels of the past couple of years was Andy Weir’s The Martian. The story follows astronaut Mark Watney, who’s stranded on Mars after his NASA crew has to abort its mission due to a dangerous storm. What set Weir’s novel apart and made it such an intriguing read was […]

Spy comes at the perfect time on the movie calendar. It hasn’t been a good time at the cinema in recent weeks, with either disasters or disappointments. Entourage was fun, but I’d say it was more of a 100-minute inside joke than actually funny. A truly funny summer comedy is always welcome among all of […]

Hannibal is one of my favorite shows on television, and it’s perplexing to me that I haven’t written about it yet. That might be partly because it feels like a hidden pleasure that I only talk about with a couple of friends. The show — which portrays the early exploits of everyone’s favorite serial-killing, cannibalistic psychiatrist before […]

When I was in middle school, a classmate let me borrow a VHS he had recently bought, or possibly stolen, from the local video store. Blood Lake — not to be confused with the Shannen Doherty lamprey movie of the same name that aired on Animal Planet last year — was a 1980’s, Z-grade horror film that some friends […]

Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee debuted Wednesdy night with what was bound to be a strong episode as his guest was former co-star Julia Louis-Dreyfus. I’m surprised that Jerry Seinfeld chose to open the season with what will likely be the season’s most popular episode, but that just means Christmas came a […]

Monday was a bad day. Not because it was my first day back after a week in Hawaii or because my sunburn still hurt or because June Gloom has hit SoCal once again and I miss the sun. No, it was because E.L. James announced via Instagram an upcoming release of a new 50 Shades […]

Perhaps one of the weirder story developments during Seinfeld‘s nine-season run was the decision to kill off George Costanza’s fiancée, Susan Ross, at the end of season seven due to licking toxic glue on cheap wedding invitations. Over the years, there have been rumors that the character was written out of the show because the […]

Stephen Colbert debuts as the new host of The Late Show on Sept. 8. We haven’t seen much from the comedian since he signed off from The Colbert Report just before last Christmas. However, Colbert’s few public appearances revealed that he grew a beard, a magnificent coat of surprisingly frosty white hair that made him […]

The Tony Awards are coming up this weekend (Sunday, June 7) and as a big fan of musicals, I’m going to take a look at the nominees for the one category everyone actually cares about: Best Musical. Though this year’s nominees do not have a clear favorite like in past years, there is a fierce […]

With the huge success of Furious 7, James Wan showed he could successfully direct a blockbuster franchise movie. Prior to that, the filmmaker was primarily known for horror fare such as Saw, Insidious and The Conjuring. But he has now obviously moved up the studio totem pole after making a film that’s drawn $1.4 billion […]

Comedian Amy Schumer made an appearance on last week’s (May 25) episode of the The Bachelorette to positive reception from fans. Schumer was likely there, in part, as a tie-in to her upcoming movie, Trainwreck — the trailer for which aired right before her appearance. It was a curious move, nonetheless, as most recent celebrity appearances […]

During its eight-season run on HBO, Entourage always seemed to be a show that people loved or hated. Those who enjoyed the show reveled in the male fantasy it depicted. Four loyal friends stuck with each other, regardless of how much their lives changed when one cashed in the lottery ticket of movie stardom. And […]

Dwayne Johnson is probably at the height of his powers right now. He’s coming off a $53 million opening for San Andreas, the best showing for a movie that he headlined himself. Later this month, his HBO series Ballers will premiere. The Rock is riding the wave of that success and seems ready to test […]
