Written on February 2, 2011 – 4:04 pm | by Kelly |

For those of us who couldn’t care less about football, Animal Planet airs their annual Puppy Bowl this Super Bowl Sunday.  Now in it’s seventh year, the show is basically a couple of hours of the cutest little puppies you’ve ever seen running around in a mini-football stadium.  It isn’t a real game, but more like unscripted television.  In [...]

Written on February 1, 2011 – 2:36 pm | by Kelly |

According to Deadline, it looks like any “controversy” resulting from Gervais’ comments during the last Golden Globes has been forgiven, or it was never an issue in the first place.   Gervais says “The organisers asked me to consider a third year.

Filmpopper Review: ‘Big Love’ Season 5 Getting Better

Written on January 30, 2011 – 11:03 pm | by Kelly |

The boring season five premiere of Big Love made me fear the show had lost it’s mojo. The goal of the fifth and final season was to return the show to it’s roots and give us “real” storylines centered around the Henricksons, but it looked like the writers had forgotten how to do this without boring [...]

Written on January 27, 2011 – 10:48 pm | by Kelly |

The short interaction between Michael Scott (Steve Carell) and David Brent (Ricky Gervais) was funny, but a little disappointing.  Unless it was setting the stage for another Ricky Gervais appearance…  What do you think?

It’s finally happening!   Lionsgate announced today that The Hunger Games movie will be released March 23, 2010.    The studio must have sensed my impatience, because this week they hired a casting director AND announced the release date for the screen adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ insanely popular novel.  Okay Lionsgate, enough messing around.   Word is that [...]

MTV Renews ‘Jersey Shore’ For a Fourth Season

Written on January 25, 2011 – 8:33 pm | by Kelly |

According to Deadline, the show’s fourth season will be set in Italy, so the guidos and guidettes will get to go back to the motherland (I know that some of the cast members don’t have any Italian heritage but I don’t think this really matters.  Maybe being a guidette is more a state of mind).    Given that Jersey [...]

Filmpopper Review: ‘Big Love’ Season 5 Kicks Off With a “Big” Yawn

Written on January 20, 2011 – 1:10 pm | by Kelly |

There’s been much ado about ‘Big Love’ returning to it’s roots for it’s fifth and final season.  It seems like everyone believes that  bringing the focus of the show back to the internal issues of the Henricksons and away from the crazy, soap-opera like plots that dominated the fourth season is a good thing.   I was willing to [...]
