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.

Further evidence that this TV movie is really happening came out this week, as Lifetime gave BuzzFeed (which is […]

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel was a surprise success in the summer of 2012. Thanks to an outstanding cast including Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Maggie Smith and Dev Patel, a story about British retirees who move to what they believe is a luxury hotel in India, but is more of a work in progress grossed […]

The Black Eyed Peas, Madonna, Beyonce, Bruno Mars, and “Weird” Al Yankovic? That grouping of artists may seem strange, but if an online petition at change.org is successful, “Weird” Al would be the halftime performer for Super Bowl XLIX in Glendale, Arizona. The petition currently has almost 100,000 signatures, and while other petitions have been […]

If so, wonder no more. That is the exact premise of this Funny or […]

Weird Al Yankovic is having a great year, with his new album Mandatory Fun hitting No. 1 on the Billboard charts and a whole new generation of fans appreciating his brilliant music parodies. (Or maybe it’s the same generation that grew up with Weird Al, except they have far more disposable income and time to […]

Boyhood is a languidly told narrative film with a fantastic, if gimmicky, hook: The film was shot for three days every year over the span of 12 years. Richard Linklater is no stranger to using experimental techniques in mainstream films. In his breakout 1991 film, Slacker, he wove his camera through seemingly disconnected people just […]

We are getting very close to a world owned by Chris Pratt with the rest of us just living in it. Fresh off his movie’s $94 million opening weekend, the Guardians of the Galaxy star stopped by The Whoolywood Shuffle, hosted by DJ Whoo Kid and revealed some serious rapping skills. During the conversation, Pratt […]

On Friday, there was a Facebook outage for a short period in the morning. And some people called 911. Seriously. Listen, I’m as anxious as the next person to see whether or not my ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend is prettier than me or not, but Facebook going down IS NOT A LEGITIMATE REASON TO CALL 911! […]

It’s about time for the Michael Keaton comeback, isn’t it? Or maybe we’re already in the midst of his revival with his role in Robocop and playing the lead in the upcoming Birdman.

We are truly in the midst of a Mike Tyson renaissance. The former heavyweight champion released a memoir, Uninspired Truth, which inspired a one-man show that played on Broadway. Jamie Foxx has agreed to play him in a movie that could be in theaters within the next two to three years. Then there’s perhaps the […]

Based on the trailers, ads and other promotions for the movie, Get On Up looked like it was going to make the big mistake many failed biopics do. In recent years, filmmakers tackling biographies have learned that it’s better to focus on a specific period of the subject’s life, rather than try to fit an […]

Much of the advanced press and early reviews for Guardians of the Galaxy touted it as the best Marvel movie ever. Could it really be? I mean, that’s some damn serious praise. As I was watching this movie, I couldn’t help but think how much I would have loved it as a kid. It might […]
