If Blades of Glory is sold out at all your local theaters this weekend, why not get your Will Ferrell fix by spending Friday Saturday night in with Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, the hilarious story of the rise and fall and inevitable comeback of the world’s greatest (fictional) Nascar driver Ricky Bobby […]

Please welcome Morgan Matson, a brand new peanut to the bloggery.

I’ll admit it: I was mad when I heard that my beloved 30 Rock was being pulled off NBC’s schedule for three weeks to make room for a new Andy Richter show. 30 Rock, despite its last two faltering episodes, was my happiest […]

Six Degrees
There’s been a miracle; a television drama has risen from the dead. Six Degrees premiered last fall on ABC, but when it earned mediocre ratings, it was yanked from the schedule after only six episodes and replaced by the more successful Men In Trees (which is now on hiatus while […]

October Road
During its brief existence, The WB launched dozens of shows based on its early success with Dawson’s Creek. Some of them made it (Felicity, One Tree Hill), but most didn’t. The network seemed driven to make a specific model work – the return of the cute twenty-something prodigal son to his […]

If I were to list the events depicted in Walk the Line – music tours, infidelity, drug abuse, prison (hey, I did list them) – it may sound a lot like an episode of VH1’s Behind the Music. However, this film about the life of the late Johnny Cash (based on his own autobiographies) is […]

Gilmore Girls and Scrubs
Two of my all-time favorite shows, Gilmore Girls and Scrubs, have been warming the bottom rungs of The Primetime Index for quite awhile, and I have to admit, it hurts. Although one is technically a drama and the other a comedy, these shows have always been similar. Both are […]

If you skipped Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, you probably contributed to the split between Dreamworks and Aardman Animation. Now you feel guilty enough to watch it, don’t you? Well, don’t watch it out of guilt. Watch it, because it’s an incredibly smart, creative, and funny film.
Using stop motion clay […]

No, Bridge to Terabithia is not a fantasy film about a secret world. Firmly rooted in the harsh reality of middle school, it’s perhaps the most complex and careful film depiction of the brief stage in life when one finds himself balanced precariously between childhood and adolescence. Based on the Newbery Medal Award winning novel […]

The Black Donnellys
The day after The Departed won the Oscar for Best Picture, NBC premiered The Black Donnellys. Their timing couldn’t have been more perfect. A cross between The Brotherhood and One Tree Hill, it’s the story of four young (and good looking) Irish brothers, Jimmy (Tom Guiry), Sean (Michael Stahl-David), Kevin […]

Imagine removing Jack Nicholson’s character Jake from Chinatown and replacing him with the Dude from The Big Lebowski. Then throw in some Quentin Tarantino violence and banter, and the product might look a lot like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
Robert Downey Jr. (who seemingly can do no wrong onscreen) stars as Harry Lockhart, a burglar […]
