Survivor: One World – Total Dysfunction [Recap and Review]
So far Survivor: One World has been relatively boring this season. I know, I know, there’s only been one episode, but really, who stood out from that episode? Colton, who mostly stands out because he’s darn pathetic. Nobody else is interesting and we didn’t even see anyone voted out last week, as an injury took that out of the tribe’s hands. As a result, One World is off to an incredibly...
In Theaters: Act of Valor, Gone, Good Deeds, Wanderlust [Feb 24]
We’ve got another loaded weekend at the theater. You’d almost think we’re out of the winter doldrums and into the good stuff, with theaters following the seasonal lead started by the weather, which has been ridiculously moderate here (except for the single snowfall that made us miss a podcast this week). Not only do we have a wide variety of movies, but we have a variety of takes on those...
Celebrity Apprentice: “Hero Worship” [Recap and Review]
Welcome to the new season of Celebrity Apprentice. For the first time in a while, it really feels like the producers have brought the “Celebrity” part to the show’s title. There’s a plethora of identifiable names unlike the past few seasons which have only had a couple of big names mixed in with lesser “celebrities.” George Takei, Lou Ferrigno, Debbie Gibson, Tia Carrere, and more bring...

Protecting Your House Guest Ranks Higher than Ghost Riders or Spy Versus Spy [Box Office Results]
Part of looking at movies does involve the business side of show business. We try to have a little fun with it, as each week Tim makes his predictions as to how movies will perform at the Box Office. Then, on Sundays, we look at how Tim’s predictions fared.
We didn’t get predictions from Tim this week, but I doubt he would have foreseen this. The weekend went not to a new release, and not to...
This Means War [Review]
I know that The Vow is the movie with the biggest romantic draw right now, but that doesn’t make it any more appealing to me. Thankfully, my wife isn’t the type to be drawn to mawkish, empty, romantic stories either. Something like This Means War, which combines its rom-com tale with a few rounds of fun confrontation between two adversaries who happen to be good friends. Spies? Buddy story? Romance...
Survivor: One World – Two Tribes, One Camp, No Rules [Recap and Review]
Welcome back for a new season of Survivor. This season, the 24th for the series, finds a few new elements to bring into play, as well as some old ones. For instance, this is the first new season in a couple that sees no returning players. No Boston Rob. No Coach. No veterans whatsoever. Secondly, there is no form of Redemption Island this season, which means players who get voted out are out for good....
In Theaters: Ghost Rider, The Secret World of Arrietty, This Means War [Feb 17]
Hope you had a good Valentine’s Day and are ready for a busy weekend at the theater. With a romantic comedy, an action sequel, and an animated story, this weekend has something for everyone, although I’m not confident that all three movies are actually any good.
First up is the sequel nobody really wanted: Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. I know I saw Ghost Rider in theaters and possibly...
Trailer Park: Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
A few years ago, a new tradition was born with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: take iconic literature and alter it to introduce contemporary supernatural threats. The idea was duplicated a few times with little to no success… until someone decided that instead of revising classic literature the next real step was to revise history. Thus Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter was born – a retelling...
Trailer Park: The Bourne Legacy [Trailer #1]
Somehow it has worked out that I have yet to see a Bourne movie. I know I want to see them and the trailers have all intrigued me. It’s just happened that I haven’t seen one and I feel like it’s a series I need to start from the beginning, so with each movie that has come out, I’ve wound up farther and farther behind with the franchise. If I don’t fix that soon, it looks like the fourth film...
Box Office Results: Underestimating The Vow
Part of looking at movies does involve the business side of show business. We try to have a little fun with it, as each week Tim makes his predictions as to how movies will perform at the Box Office. Then, on Sundays, we look at how Tim’s predictions fared.
Well, we’ve hit a new low. While Tim managed to pick the top five for the week, he was way off on the order and nowhere close to the record...
