Over the past few years, the Oscar’s telecast has been the dullest “must-see” television on the air. Nowadays, there are simply too many award shows for exciting upsets, as the winners are pretty much solidified in the month leading up to the Academy Awards.

Part Three of Can Any Show Survive Jumping the Shark?
February 24th, 2012 Geoffrey Geib The six-month dating plan. This phrase should be its own pop-culture phenomenon right alongside jumping the shark, as Aaron Sorkin kicked off the second season of his superb half-hour dramedy about sports that wasn’t really about sports at all with a storyline that thirteen years later still makes me shake my head in wonder.[1]
ACT OF VALOR, Incredibly Courageous (Film Review)
February 24th, 2012 John Delia They’re not actors, directors Mike McCoy and Scott Waugh did not want them to be. The main characters in the movie Act of Valor are real Navy SEALs and they perform like one of the best freedom fighter units that the United States could ever produce.

MARQUEE MAMA REVIEWS “THE SECRET WORLD OF ARRIETTY”
February 17th, 2012 Marquee Mama Please. The root word comes to mind repeatedly when I think about Disney’s “The Secret World of Arrietty”. A pleasant story line, very pleasing animation, simply, it was a pleasure to watch. Immediately this film looks like a vintage cartoon, a flashback to early days of animation. But very quickly it evolves into pure visual […]
THIS MEANS WAR, Love is a Battle (Film Review)
February 17th, 2012 John Delia It’s a lot of fun, but This Means War spins out of control at times and the romance gets sidetracked for some awesome spy thrills. I like the acting by the trio of leads and directing by McG isn’t too bad either. If you are woman looking for a romantic night however, your date […]
