I was a big fan of HBO’s Rome so the fact that James Purefoy was starring in his own show I had to give it a shot. I thought he was pretty incredible as Mark Antony. So the premise of The Philanthropist isn’t ground ground breaking. Rich dude has an apiphany then decides to become [...]

“I don’t normally cuss, but you have completely fucked me here.”
Sookie Stackhouse’s desperate words to Jessica Hamby after an ill advised trip to see her family pretty much sum up the first two episodes of season 2 of True Blood. There has been more gore & profane scenes in the first two episodes this season [...]

True Blood’s second season premier had an interesting theme. Humanity. From Bill Compton lecturing the just made 17 year old Jessica Hamby about recycling glass & paper products to Lafayette pondering all that he had done wrong with his life. Another interesting scene was Tara trying to convince her mom that the exorcism was a [...]

A while back whilst channel surfing I stumbled upon the Chiller channel, which I had never actually heard of. Low and behold they were airing an episode of my all time favorite TV show Twin Peaks. David Lynch’s early 90’s tv show only stuck around for two seasons but made a lasting impact. [...]

Being a musician I must say that American Idol to me is a strange thing. It’s something that I have to keep in context. I am not a music snob or anything, but everyone on that show literally sucks in real life. I can sit back and enjoy the show by keeping it all in [...]

The kids loved some X Files back in the day. Chances are that the video below will be removed soon, so knock yourself out.
Looks really great, but then again I am a huge fan of the X Files so my judgment might be a bit skewed. From what I [...]

The kids these days seem to love cover versions of cover songs and tend to mistake them for “being daring”. Much the same way that Chris Daughtry got props for being “daring”, David Cook “took a chance” by covering Chris Cornell’s version of “Billie Jean” which by the way was a horrible cover to [...]

Mark my words, the kids are going to grow to love HULU. I can’t stress how awesome HULU is. Basically it’s a joint venture between NBC Universal and News Corp. Basically it’s a way to legally watch a crap load of shows online for free with limited commercial interruptions. Sure you can [...]

The kids love them some SNL. Is it me or has it actually been funny since they got back from the writers strike? Even the political stuff has a new found edge as Entertainment Weekly noted. I was a little miffed that Maya Rudolph wasn’t appearing but truth be told Casey Wilson, [...]

You know the kids really love American Idol.
For the second week in a row the Idols murdered chose songs from the Beatles catalog. First off I will just say that I make it a general rule to never trust anyone who utters the words “Well I haven’t ever really heard any Beatles songs”.
