  By Josh Lasser on August 3, 2006 • ( 1 )

  I think that it is crucial when reviewing movies to determine two different macro things: 1) is the movie fun and 2) is it a good movie. These are not necessarily the same things, shlocky bad film making can lead… Read More ›

• The Reality of Friendship

  By Josh Lasser on August 2, 2006 • ( 1 )

  Friendship is a rare thing in reality TV. Let’s face it, Rob & Amber are the exceptions to the rule (and the jury’s still out whether that’s real or a friendship of convenience). The odd thing though is that reality… Read More ›

• Just one (or maybe two) of TV & Film Guy’s Pet Peeves

  By Josh Lasser on July 31, 2006 • ( 9 )

  TV & Film Guy has a bunch of pet peeves. Well, let’s be honest shall we, he has a TON of them, but as we are limiting ourselves here to TV & Film, it’s back down to just “a bunch.”… Read More ›

• This Bond & Beyond

  By Josh Lasser on July 27, 2006 • ( 2 )

  Last week the good folks at Sony/MGM and the James Bond producers announced that on May 2, 2008 the next Bond movie would be released (following this year’s Casino Royale). Am I the only one that finds this ludicrous? Well,… Read More ›

• Pilots & Thereafter

  By Josh Lasser on July 26, 2006 • ( 1 )

  It’s always interesting to see the way a series changes from its pilot to its second episode. There are clearly things that have changed because a producer or an executive (or several of each) sat down, took a look at… Read More ›

• Eliminations and a Follow-up

  By Josh Lasser on July 25, 2006 • ( 3 )

  Last night on Treasure Hunters the Fogals, deservedly, got eliminated. And, ironically, the man of God got eliminated in a church. Seems as though someone smited someone that allegedly works for them because they lied, cheated, stole and otherwise acted… Read More ›

• Shows and Where to Find Them

  By Josh Lasser on July 24, 2006 • ( 1 )

  For the past 3 summers I’ve watched The 4400 without fail. I really enjoy it and have yet to miss an episode. The same is true for the random reappearances of Monk and various other cable shows. I feel like… Read More ›

• Eureka

  I will avoid any silly statements about SciFi finding the right program (and any comments that they may have made upon finding it), but the numbers for the first episode of Eureka seem to indicate that the new series will… Read More ›

• Treasure Hunters, The Amazing Race, & Cheers

  By Josh Lasser on July 19, 2006 • ( 3 )

  Treasure Hunters, which I actually quite enjoy, is most often referred to as something akin to a low-rent version of Amazing Race, a show which I assiduously refuse to watch. Why, you ask? Surely if I like the former I… Read More ›

  Due to having a full-time job and my family commitments I can’t watch as much TV as I like (hence my wanting to review for a living), so what follows is what I plan on watching this fall (not including… Read More ›

  By Josh Lasser on July 18, 2006 • ( 6 )

  Do you go to the movies? On a regular basis? Well, you should. You should go once a week, you should go more often, you should definitely go during the day in the middle of the week when it’s just… Read More ›
