The remake of Bad Lieutenant may have made some bad choices in its updates.

The commercials in the months leading up to George Lopez’s talk show may have given off the impression that it would be a program worth watching. After all, President Obama wouldn’t appear in an ad campaign for and lend his slogan to a televised train wreck, right?
Wrong.
Lopez Tonight kicked off last week on TBS. [...]

Read our Q&A with frontman Simon Balthazar.
Fanfarlo sounds familiar. With all the press the band has received for its unassuming orchestral indie pop, the London-based quintet has permeated blogs and radio with its well-crafted songs ornate enough to catch your ear, but laid [...]

Oprah’s interview with the “rogue” politician shows us a side we have already seen.

North by Northwestern sat down with the minds behind a film about two enlisted men who notify next of kin of war casualties.

From the anxious actors to the janitor who always blurts out his weird thoughts, everyone at TGS can’t wait for the newly hired cast member — the street performing robot — to arrive in the studio. Upon his arrival it’s hard to believe he was the person under all that silver paint. Played by actor [...]

A shocking discovery was made this week on Community: Abed isn’t a pariah -– he’s a prophet, or a “Middle Eastern eight ball,” according to Shirley.
This conclusion about the quirky and eccentric Abed is reached after his student films are brought back into the show. This time, instead of imaging the cast as members of [...]

This is a transitional piece by a veteran director, but this film fails to deliver as a satisfying work. (Insert your own sinking ship pun here).

The creators of Napoleon Dynamite have again crafted a plot that does little to explain the overall draw of the film. Unfortunately, this time the strategy does not hold up nearly as well.

Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day asks the question: “There are two kinds of people. Talkers and doers. Doers change the world, and they change us. Which are you?”

Summary:
Although this episode starts with what looks like Bring It On on crack, it’s actually less focused on the comedy and more focused on the lack of diversity in the school’s extracurricular activities. We see Brittany (the blonde cheerleader who doesn’t do much) actually talk, a pretty awesome diva-off between Kurt and Rachel, a messy [...]

This week’s triumphant return of House to the Monday night lineup opened with a group of teenage girls (who seemed as if they’d be more at home on My Super Sweet Sixteen) trying to get into a band’s concert after-party. Amid the hustle and bustle of teenage drama, the headstrong one of the pack (played [...]

The energetic, campy fun of Broadway’s Young Frankenstein.

What an odd, unexpected and totally pleasing tonal shift this season finale of Mad Men instigated. After 12 weeks of episodes that were steeped in anxiety and misery, this wacky exodus from Sterling-Cooper was the most lighthearted episode of the season.
The episode’s plot sort of reminded me of Ocean’s Eleven, with Sterling-Cooper-Draper-Price releasing themselves from [...]
