DESERT ISLAND DISCS: January 3

There are a variety of interesting DVD releases this week – both feature films and great tv. The biggest (and scariest, by any standard) is CONTAGION. You’ve seen other variants and plenty of tv and straight-to-video versions of various supervirus-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it (and the end of all hyphens), but none directed by a talent like Stephen Soderbergh and the likes of a [...]

Making the Case for Community

I think by now pretty much every one has seen Arrested Development. If you haven’t you’ve either been living under a rock for 5 years or just aren’t interested in funny things, which is fine, but seriously, if you haven’t seen Arrested Development by now, you’re missing out.

Two and a Half Redemption

I was so disappointed last week in the episode for Two and a Half Men that it wasn’t even worth writing about. I decided that after that episode I was only giving the show one more chance and wasn’t going to watch it again. The only good part about the entire episode was Jenny McCarthy running around half naked. But [...]

2 Broke Girls

In todays economy, many of us can relate to the term “broke.” In CBS’s new show, Two Broke Girls, the name says it all. Smart-mouthed, whitty, Max has been without an excess of money her whole life. And prim and proper, Caroline, grew up in a rich and powerful family that loses everything in a big scandle. In the first [...]

DESERT ISLAND TV: October 4

Tuesday, October 4 IN TREATMENT, one hour psychiatric sessions with Gabriel Byrne as the shrink. In a unique format, you follow several sessions with several patients, followed by the doctor healing himself with a visit to his shrink. (Not as unique as you’d think, this is based on an Israeli tv series.) Good showcase for the actors. Spinning Off TV [...]
