Joke Subtitle: The Pastor’s Ass The Pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won. The Pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again and it won again. The local paper read: PASTOR’S ASS OUT FRONT The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he…

TV Reviews: 666 Park Avenue, Revenge, Person of Interest, Made in Jersey, and Fringe
Another week of fall premieres. Some old shows coming back, some new shows just getting started, let’s dive right in… 666 Park Avenue…This will definitely be one of those shows you should only review after a few episodes. However, last night was the premiere and I haven’t seen any others, so I have to work…
Movie Review: For a Good Time Call
This movie is about two antagonistic roommates (Lauren Miller and Ari Graynor) who gradually start a phone sex hotline (Graynor’s character already works for one, but gets cut out of the majority of the profits) and become friends. If that sounds pretty straightforward, it is, but the movie keeps finding ways to surprise you. What…
Movie Reviewer: Ten Years
Another movie that was dumped into theaters and either quickly forgotten or ignored. In fact, I doubt many readers have even heard of this film (the release never went wide). It’s about a, you guessed it, ten year high school reunion and a whole slew of under appreciated young actors star as people who haven’t…
Monday Morning Movie Reviewer: The Words
All right, so this opened a hell of a lot longer than this weekend, but sometimes the timing just doesn’t work out (there’s been a big review every week for the last few) and it’s best to hold a lesser-seen (i.e. forgotten) movie back a while. Anyway, The Words is about a struggling writer (Bradley…
Mom Jokes: Who’s In Charge?
All the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was the one in charge. “I should be in charge,” said the brain , “Because I run all the body’s systems, so without me nothing would happen.” “I should be in charge,” said the blood , “Because I circulate oxygen all…
TV Reviews: Last Resort, Elementary, Neighbors, Vegas, Modern Family, AND Parks and Recreation
Nobody really comes to the site to read TV reviews on a Friday, but there’s been so many shows premiering that I feel I shouldn’t wait until Monday (where there will be a fresh crop of reviews). The Last Resort…Hopefully I wasn’t the only who watched ABC’s new drama last night because I’m pretty excited…
Entertainment Editorial: Predicting the Odds on the New Fall Shows
I’m about two weeks late with this one as some of the new Fall shows (roughly a third) have already premiered. Oh well, but it does mean I probably won’t go as in-depth as I might have… NBC…Poor NBC, it’s been dead last for years and I don’t see that changing much this year. The…
TV Reviews: Treme, Ben and Kate, and The Mindy Project
Just in case five new movie reviews wasn’t enough, let’s talk about the season premiere of HBO’s Treme (if we have to), and first episodes of Ben and Kate/The Mindy Project, which are currently sneak previewing on demand before airing this week over on Fox. Season 3 Premiere of Treme…Treme is from the creator of…
Monday Morning Movie Reviewer: End of Watch
Before I went in, I was really looking forward to this cops-in-LA movie. I was curious to see how David Ayers (who seemingly makes nothing but this kind of movie, writing the screenplays for Training Day and Dark Blue, and directing Street Kings/Harsh Times) would handle his former turf but with a found-footage twist. Well…sad…
Monday Morning Movie Reviewer: Trouble with the Curve
I know people will say that I went in with a bias to not like this movie since Clint Eastwood is now a notorious and bull-headed Republican. Well, I’m sorry but those people are just plain wrong. I love most Clint Eastwood movies, and went into this hoping it would be just as good as…
Monday Morning Movie Reviewer: Dredd 3D
Is there a good movie in here somewhere? Absolutely. But is this a good movie? Absolutely not. What Works: This movie is based off the same graphic series that “inspired” the Sylvester Stallone Judge Dredd movie, and all the fans of the source material (you know, all twelve of them) say this is much closer…
Movie Review: Premium Rush
Another movie that opened around the time ParaNorman did and one that’s done even less business. I’ll make it quick, but the movie is a solid-B, and deserved a little better than to be dumped in theaters and forgotten a month later. And, just in case you don’t know, the movie stars Joseph Gordon Levitt…
