Book vs. Movie: Gulliver's Travels

The real stroke of genius that Swift managed with Gulliver’s Travels was its universality.

Comics Weekly

Batman returns. Again. And again.

NBC’s Thursday night comedy lineup is an esteemed chunk of prime time real estate for being the (mostly) consistent source of funny that it is.

After the summer finale, we had Juliet about to jet off with super-cool and ultra-rich Declan Rand but the latter half of season five finally brings Shawn and Juliet together and some closure to the Mr. Yin case. If you are a fan of delicious flavor in the form of many 80s cameos and a HUGE tribute to Twin Peaks, then this was the ideal smorgasbord of episodes for you.

The Late Greats

Maybe I’m the only one who cares about this – the combination of small children and a day job can’t be all that unique – but why do club shows seem to be creeping later and later?

Review: The Tourist

The Tourist is a misguided mess. Like its two main characters, it lacks a clear identity, but unlike its two main characters, this wasn’t deliberate.

This week I have been teaching myself how to read braille using a book from my local library. Why, you ask?

Twelve Days of Box Office

Little Fockers once again finished in first place and was once again a good but not great performer.

You know know your Cindy Lou Who from your Kevin McCallister, but how well do you know Christmas in TV and the Movies.

Twelve Days of Box Office

Welcome to the tenth annual daily box office analysis for the December holiday season. Whereas we had a unique calendar configuration last in 2009, this year finds us a relatively straightforward one.

How Well Do You Know: Bad Santa

A vulgar, alcoholic, thieving Santa and his elf partner-in-crime, a boy who is apparently a glutton for punishment, and a woman who really likes, um, "quality time" with Santa Claus - such is the story of Bad Santa, a movie that caused initial bad publicity over the 'trashing' of a beloved figure like Santa. It turned out to be a box-office success and critics seemed to give it generally good reviews. Bad Santa happened to be the last live-action role of co-star John Ritter. Tis the season to be nasty - how well do you know Bad Santa?

The 21st iteration of Survivor took the game to the rain forest of Nicaragua. An NFL coach, an amputee, ridiculously expensive shoes and an unwelcome camp fire combined to make this an entertaining, yet curious, season.

There is always one movie that everybody loves. Your friends are yelling at you to drop what you are doing to go see the film immediately. Critics give it universal praise.

For much of its running time, Mike Leigh's latest feels less like a single narrative than a series of shorts connected by location and a shared cast of characters.

Guilty Pleasures

I’m proud to love Vegas Vacation.

How Well Do You Know: Tron

Comics Weekly

Comics make great Christmas gifts for nerds!

Classic Movie Review

Even though this site is mostly about how great movies are, there really are few unqualified joys in the world of cinema. Watching Fred Astaire dance will always be one of those joys.

Make an Argument

I don’t need other people to validate my likes and dislikes – this is especially true of award shows. Simply: Analyzing a fresh batch of Golden Globe nominations is usually a good time.

How Well Do You Know: Mary Poppins

Mary Poppins, one of the first popular movies that mixed animation and live action, is the most Oscar-nominated film in Disney history. This Disney musical based on the books of P.L. Travers netted a Best Actress Oscar for newcomer Julie Andrews, who took on the role of Mary Poppins after being passed over for the movie role she was lobbying for - Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, the role she originated on Broadway.

How Well Do You Know: The Amazing Race 17 Recap

You know the drill by now: Eleven teams of two vie for our attention and a million dollars, all the while making us envious of their exotic travels. Season 17 included a couple of firsts, more than a handful of costly time penalties and possibly the most hyper contestant ever (Hello, Brook!) and the most negative contestant in the show's history (Hi, Nick!). So, you may have 'traveled' across 4 continents and 32,000 miles over 12 weeks without leaving your couch, but how well do you know The Amazing Race 17?

Overpaid Jerks: 12/6/10-12/12/10

Part One
Part Two

How Well Do You Know: The Simpsons: Homer Loves Flanders

Homer decides that Flanders is his new best friend. It seems like every week something odd happens to the Simpsons.

How Well Do You Know The Simpsons: Homer Loves Flanders?

How Well Do You Know: The Simpsons: Deep Space Homer

Today’s the day for Homer J.! In an effort to reconnect with middle America, NASA sends Homer into space. All the chimpanzees came back super-intelligent, so it should work out for Homer. Or will the inanimate carbon rod take all the credit? How Well Do You Know The Simpsons: Deep Space Homer?

Weekend Wrap-Up

After an unusually blah post-Thanksgiving weekend, where the top two films fell an average 60%, the box office was looking to bounce back in a big way.

How Well Do You Know: Jumanji

Lions, monkeys and elephants... and that's not the half of it. Deadly plants, quick sand and monsoons...Jumanji is certainly no Candyland. Do you have the guts to roll the dice? The bizarre consequences of this game will vanish only when you yell out its name. How well do you know Jumanji?

Friday Box Office Analysis

For the Narnia series, The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe has proven to be the exception rather than the rule.

How Well Do You Know: Nikita, Season 1 Part 1

The premise of the 2010 show Nikita was hardly original.

But the CW version got good mileage out of its production and its engaging young cast. So get ready to give Division the finger and see how well you know the fall episodes of Nikita, Season 1.

How Well Do You Know: Coming to America

Before Eddie Murphy started his feel-good, family-friendly films, he star a string of raw comedy hits. Coming to America is one of the best, with hilarious memorable lines and a slew of great characters. This is easily one of Murphy's greatest films. She may be your Queen to be, but how well do you know Coming to America?

How Well Do You Know: Seinfeld: The Understudy

In "The Understudy," Bette Midler guests as herself, the star of a Broadway musical. Meanwhile, Elaine enlists the help of a friend to make out what Korean ladies are supposedly saying about her in a beauty shop. How well do you know "The Understudy"?

Comics Weekly

We tell you the comics to buy. You go buy them. Easy peasy.

How Well Do You Know: The Walking Dead, Season 1 Recap

On the night of Halloween 2010, AMC debuted the The Walking Dead, a comic-to-screen adaptation depicting a small group's struggle for survival in the zombified South.

Survivor Recap

This is easily one of the dumbest casts I can remember in the history of the game.

Movie Review: Burlesque

Going into Burlesque, I was hoping for trashy fun.

How Well Do You Know: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

In 1989 two dimwits became famous in a most excellent way. Bill and Ted was a immediate hit with audiences, giving us such catch phrases as "Be excellent to each other", "Bogus!" and "Party on, dude!". Catching historical figures is hard work...especially when all you are, is dust in the wind, dude. You may know Napoleon is a short dead dude, but how well do you know Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure?

How Well Do You Know: Hellcats, Season 1 Part 1

Part insider's look at cheerleading, part legal drama, and with a hole lot of CW-flavored relationship-ness, Hellcats hit the airwaves in 2010. The volleyball team cheering in their underwear might have let you down, but how well do you know the fall episodes of Hellcats, Season 1?

How Well Do You Know: America's Next Top Model, Cycle 15 Recap
