Don’t agree with the below, that’s just fine, but I’m sticking to it. Yesterday I sat down to watch The Upside of Anger. Initially it seemed like a well-made movie, with interesting characters and a relatable plot and something that… Read More ›

Veronica Mars
That Veronica Mars, she sure is a little spit-fire, and the shows not half-bad either. From an intriguing over-arching mystery to single-episode contained story-arcs I’ve had a great summer watching it (a show that until June I hadn’t seen a… Read More ›
Losing the Hunters & Entourage
I sat down last night at 10 all ready to watch the last episodes of Treasure Hunters, remember that I spent 2 hours with Hell’s Kitchen last week and so had to catch-up on my Hunters this week, only to… Read More ›
TV & FG’s Weekend Round-up
So, I saw the movie, and I gathered this much from it: there were snakes, there was a plane, and the snakes were on it. It was perfectly fun although nothing terribly special. It’s not quite in the Harold &… Read More ›
Studio 60 & 30 Rock
I am continually digging myself into a hole. Before I called in all the favors owed me (and gave away a few of my future children), and now I owe everyone. On the upside, I’ve seen 30 Rock and Studio… Read More ›
What is Funny?
Today I would like to tackle the question: what makes funny? The answer is pretty simple actually: if it bends, it’s funny; if it breaks, that’s not funny. I think the problem comes in that things bend and break at… Read More ›

Hell’s Kitchen Finale
I spent two semi-precious hours (let’s be honest with each other, my time is important but not THAT important) of my time yesterday watching the Hell’s Kitchen finale. All the while I was rooting for Heather to win but completely… Read More ›
Must Love Dogs
There are films that I see that I want to root for, movies that you just want so much to be good that even when they’re not you mark them down as being “okay.” I watched just such a movie… Read More ›
Kidnapped
Faithful Reader, I know that I usually take Fridays off but today I can’t, today I feel the need to tell you about what happened to me last night. Last night part of me, my imagination, was taken hostage. It… Read More ›
The Amazing Disappearing, Reappearing Nature of Shows
I feel as though our society moves too quickly. This is, I’m sure, a common lament, but frankly it is hindering my ability to watch television. Last week, at the last moment, Sci Fi decided not to air Garth Marenghi’s… Read More ›
Cable Television’s Darkplace
Cable television (or satellite, but for convenience’s sake I’ll be referring to any alternate delivery system as “cable” herein) is a good thing. The plethora of channels that exist allow for an incredible amount niche programming, and an incredible amount… Read More ›
Forget Channel 3, I Have Seen the Future, and it is The Nine
Well, I’ve done it. I begged, borrowed, and stole. I cashed in my chips, my chits and a ton of favors and yesterday evening a little birdie flew down my chimney with something he got from a woodchuck which got… Read More ›
You’re Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong…and a little right.
I know that I’m less well respected, heck, I’m not respected at all, and for that reason there is absolutely no reason whatsoever that you should accept my opinion over Entertainment Weekly’s…except for the fact that I’m right. In a… Read More ›
30 Days to Changing Your View to a Whole New Type of Imperialism
Oh boy do I have a lot to talk about today, or, at the very least, I’m quite excited but what I’m going to say. First up, Eureka…it’s just a barrel of fun and absolutely living up to my expectations,… Read More ›
A Macro Guide to Reviewing Movies
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
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
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
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
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 ›
