NBC – Comedy Night Done Not-So-Right

Nepotism Much? Last Night’s Celebrity Apprentice

Tigger & Pooh and a Musical Too: I Say "Not Bad," How About You?
Disney's latest direct-to-DVD release, Tigger & Pooh and a Musical Too is a moderately enjoyable trip back to the 100 Acre Wood, even if the title and box art is a tad misleading. The hour-long film is based on the… Read More ›

It’s Like 70 Proof Fruit Punch!
Some people like to go out and get drunk without ever feeling the burn of the alcohol; a strong drink is just fine as long as it doesn't taste like a strong drink. I can then wholeheartedly recommend that you… Read More ›
Oh, to be a Slumdog Millionaire
