The Celebrity Apprentice two-hour “live” season finale was about an hour and 45 minutes too long. I put “live” in quotations because, yes, the winner was revealed live and Trumpet brought back all the fired celebs in order to patronize them live and Kenya Moore went out of her way to kiss Ivanka Trump’s ass […]

With Pizza Hut basically cornering the market on what can be stuffed inside a pizza crust, Little Caesars is pushing the boundaries of possibility for the crust itself. The pizza chain announced on Wednesday that it will be rolling out a deep dish pizza with bacon wrapped around the crust. The “Bacon Wrapped Crust Deep! […]

If you’ve recently taken a bite out of a Baby Ruth or Butterfinger candy bar and thought, “Man, this just doesn’t taste natural,” Nestle is addressing your taste buds’ concerns. According to a report by the Washington Post‘s Lindsey Bever, Nestle is removing artificial flavors and colors to make its products more natural. For example, […]

Is TBS actually providing less Seinfeld for the money? Or rather, is the network making its syndicated reruns of the show faster to make more money? That’s what a dedicated fan posted on Reddit, demonstrating video evidence that TBS is speeding up its broadcasts of Seinfeld reruns to allow more room for commercials. Here’s the […]

If you were among those who thought John Oliver would be an ideal replacement for Jon Stewart on The Daily Show (and I raise my hand for believing so), HBO shot down such talk definitively on Tuesday by renewing Last Week Tonight for two more seasons. You can read the official press release here. I […]

Long-time fans of Modern Family know that Phil Dunphy is a big fan of Apple products. In the show’s first season, an episode titled “Game Changer” was essentially a commercial for the new iPad, largely devoted to Phil wanting Apple’s newest, coolest gadget for his birthday. But Modern Family‘s love affair with Apple products and […]

When I was 14, I rented Unforgiven to watch with my grandpa while visiting his house for a weekend. Being a big fan of westerns, I figured he would enjoy one that had recently won an Oscar for Best Picture and starred Clint Eastwood. While my grandpa was a fan of westerns, he was a […]

What happens when you combine Men in Black with X-Men: First Class and the James Bond franchise, circa 1970? You get Kingsman: The Secret Service, director Matthew Vaughn’s tribute to spy films from past generations that favored style and fun over gritty action and gravely serious plotlines. That might sound like I’m knocking Kingsman for […]

Saturday Night Live is an American institution. To say anything less is to disregard the show’s cultural, social, and political impact over the past 40 years. For many of us, it is the reason we were first able to stay up late watching television — or maybe it was the first time we rebelled and […]

A haunted house horror film directed by Guillermo del Toro? Sign us up! When can we see this? Referring to del Toro’s new film, Crimson Peak, as a haunted house movie may be reductive, as the story appears to be richer than simply a tale of a house inhabited by ghosts and scarred by terrible […]

Once word of New York Times writer David Carr passing away began to circulate on Twitter Thursday night, my plans for the evening and day ahead suddenly didn’t feel very important. My original intention was to watch NBC’s The Slap to write a review for Friday morning. Later in the day, I hoped to catch […]

I consider myself a big fan of Cameron Crowe’s movies (and music writing), but it’s difficult to argue that he’s made a good film since Almost Famous in 2000. Since then, he’s directed Vanilla Sky (2001), Elizabethtown (2005) and We Bought a Zoo (2011) — along with two documentaries, including 2011’s Pearl Jam Twenty (which […]

Playing Superman has not typically led to diverse careers for the actors playing the big blue boy scout. So latching onto another potential franchise is a smart move for Henry Cavill, who’s starring as CIA agent Napoleon Solo in the big screen adaptation of 1960s TV show, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (The acronym stands for […]

Writing is hard. Wait, I’m sorry. Writing WELL is hard. I hope to do it one day. But I know what I like, and I know what I don’t, and when Twilight first came out, I immediately filed that under “Just Say No” and moved on with my life. Rumor had it that it was […]
