Review in a Hurry: The publicity for The Vow would have you believe it’s primarily about a man (Channing Tatum) constantly re-wooing his amnesiac wife (Rachel McAdams), in a manner that subtly reminds audience members not to get complacent about their own love lives.
The actual movie is a… More
Ooh, this is juicy! “Lost” alum Henry Ian Cusick (Brother!) has been cast in “Fringe,” according to TVLine. This will, of course, re-team Cusick and his “Lost” boss (and Fringe EP) J.J. Abrams. (Seriously, does that man ever sleep?)
Cusick will play an FBI agent assigned to a… More
The Vampire Diaries S03E14: “Dangerous Liaisons”
You know what they say: When one ship sinks, another ship rises to take its place. It’s just the Circle of Ships. Hakuna-mashippa.
You guys, “Dangerous Liaisons” was one of those episodes The Vampire Diaries does so well: an absolutely pulse-pounding hour in which very little actually happens. Seriously! Write it out on paper: The Originals threw a party, Matt broke his hand, and then Damon… More
“Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace 3D” hits theaters this weekend, and it brings up a lot of contradictory feelings in fans of George Lucas’ legendary franchise. Most parents (and viewers in general) feel an overpowering allegiance to the original trilogy, but our kids, who have been exposed to the prequel trilogy and its animated “Clone Wars” spin-off, might actually prefer Episodes I-II-III. What is a self-respecting IV-V-VI-loyal… More
Review in a Hurry: Grown-ups and reviewers aren’t supposed to like movies that are almost entirely CG and PG-rated eye candy, but screw it. The inner child wins out on this one. Dwayne Johnson and Vanessa Hudgens in a movie that’s non-stop 3-D creature-action equals total win. Also… More

When Original vampire mama Esther (Alice Evans) returned to Mystic Falls after spending the last millennium six feet under, we knew she’d have some deeply hidden tricks up her sleeve. But could anyone have possibly seen tonight’s twist coming?
We learned tonight that Esther is not one for subtlety, as she marked her arrival with the grandest… More
A broad, dark, semi-romantic comedy about the end of the world? From a first-time director? Starring Steve Carell and Keira Knightley?
I was skeptical too. And then I watched this rather provocative trailer for Lorene Scafaria’s Seeking a Friend for the End of the World — and now I can’t wait to see the flick. The premise is enticing enough (the world is ending in three weeks, so two mismatched neighbors… More
Today, our Great Mad Men Re-Watch puts Season 1 to bed. The final two episodes get pretty soapy, what with Peggy’s surprise delivery and Don’s battlefield identity theft. But the season ends with both feet on the ground, with one of the most memorable speeches in modern TV history. Hop aboard the carousel, everyone. We’re about to get nostalgic for the way things were back in 2007.
Season 1, Episode 12
While Hollywood waits to see if Jean Dujardin has what it takes to become a star here in America, the Best Actor frontrunner has apparently taken fate into his own hands. The “Artist” star teamed with Funny or Die for a new video that pokes fun at what roles wait for him in the future — at least if the careers of other imports like Michael Nyqvist and Mathieu Amalric… More
Good news, “Smallville” fans! While the show is done for good (and we couldn’t have asked for a better series finale last May) Bryan Q. Miller, a writer and story editor from the TV series, is picking up where the show left off.
Miller and DC Comics have announced a “Smallville Season 11″ comic book series, which will be published digitally beginning April 13, 2012, with… More
