May 30th, 2008DVD Review: Cory In The House: Newt and Improved Edition
May 29th, 2008Cory is in the House. The White House, that is. And Washinton, DC will NEVER be the same.
This week, Disney released Cory In The House: Newt and Improved Edition. If you haven't seen Cory In The House before, the premise is simple. Chef Victor Baxter goes from obscure chef to White House Chief Chef, and takes son Cory with him. Hijinx ensue, usually tied somehow to Cory's pursuit of profit. And of course, his plans always…
Sarah McLachlan in a bikini (It’s not the drugs. You really just read that.)
May 29th, 2008
Coming in from so far out of left-field I thought it was a football is Sarah McLachlan in a bikini. I gotta admit I fostered a secret crush on Ms. McLachlan seen here vacationing in Maui. In college my computer was loaded with MP3's of her songs in case I ever
Heidi Montag in her bikini/only useful form
May 29th, 2008
Honest Injun, heeding your cries, I've been exercising a moratorium on Heidi and Spencer's horribly retarded candid (but really posed) shots. However, drastic times call for drastic measures. And I'd like to point you to the two drastic measures above. I'm going to step away from my keyboard now because I never type angry/aroused. *SMASH!* Shiiiit, I just knocked over my cubicle. Geekologist, are you alright? I was editing Heidi photos and- Hey! Eyes up here, bud. Nothing technological going on down there. That's simply nature. And, okay, plutonium.
Mariah Carey is really really good at throwing
May 29th, 2008Movie Review: Sex and the City
May 29th, 2008The story of four women, one city, and a superfluous two-and-a-half-hour long movie.
Four years after it came to an end, Sex and the City is back, and the clothes and New York are as big a part of it as they've ever been, while the women the world grew to know so well over the course of six seasons seem to be exactly where we left them.This is, of course, the story of Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), her slutty friend…
Making the Rounds at General Hospital: Mobsters, Mobsters Everywhere
May 29th, 2008Sonny signs. Anthony schemes. Everyone broods. These dark days in Port Charles have only a few highlights.
I am very happy to announce that Making the Rounds at General Hospital is back on Blogcritics. After being in Connie Phillips’ very insightful hands since its inception, this popular BC feature will now be penned by me. I’ve been a GH watcher on and off for the last 20 years or so, which is why I’m happy to step in to…
Movie Review: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
May 29th, 2008Here’s a film that will test survival skills. Not Indy’s, yours.
As my friends in the back row will attest, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a movie best viewed high. Here's a film that will test survival skills. Not Indy's, yours. The movie takes place in 1957 with Ford returning as The Man in the Hat. The old Nazi villains have given way to Cold War Russians, led by Cate…
No strike for AFTRA, SAG next
May 29th, 2008So the 77,000 members of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists -- mostly TV performers from non-prime time shows -- signed up for a three-year deal with the studios, averting a strike. Where does that leave the Screen Actors Guild, whose 122,000 members work in film and prime-time TV? Against the wall. The SAG contract runs out June 30 and pressure is on to avoid another strike like the writers put the industry through recently. But there are enough union concessions in the AFTRA contract to give a labor negotiator agita, or so says the L.A. Times. And Variety. And everyone.
The sticking point is, as ever, DVD residuals and control over film clip use. AFTRA gave in, to a degree; SAG has been sabre-rattling. Film and TV producers are already running for cover and getting their projects out of the way of a still-possible strike; presumably the exit rows are clearly marked by now.
Here's Nikki Finke of Deadline Hollywood Daily stirring the hornet's nest of who got hosed by who in typical demure fashion; the reader comments, many by Hollywood working stiffs, are where the gloves really come off.
