Oprah Winfrey announced today that she is retiring. The media is freaking out. In the car this afternoon, the talk show host I was listening to was acting as if the world was ending. Can everyone settle down? Oprah is retiring in 2011, 18 months from now. That is quite a long time. With the way ...

The FX comedy series IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA continues to be one of the wildest sitcoms on TV. The series about a group of friends who own a bar is often funnier than anything else on TV today. Now in its fifth season, the show is popular enough that it has released its first Direct ...

When a show has no clips on YouTube, nothing on Wikipedia, and an IMDB page with little info, you know that it must truly be a Forgotten TV series. Such is the case with LIVE-IN , a sitcom that ran for 9 episodes in 1989. I can’t even find what network it aired on. Possibly CBS? The show was ...

I had never heard of the film POOR PRETTY EDDIE up until a few weeks ago, when it was one of the trailers on a compilation DVD. I guess someone at Turner Classic Movies saw that same DVD as it aired recently as part of the Friday Night Underground series. Some films you wonder why they were ...

I've written about how Amy Adams is probably my favorite actress working today. And the writing team of Harry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan ( CAN'T HARDLY WAIT , the highly underrated JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS ) are favorites too. They are teaming up for LEAP YEAR , releasing January 8, 2010. It is ...

MTV sometimes doesn’t know when they have a good thing going. Case in point, BOILING POINTS . BOILING POINTS was a CANDID CAMERA like TV series that aired on and off in the mid 2000’s. Yet, MTV aired it at such erratic times, with little promotion that it is no wonder it never really caught on ...

Watching TV last night, I was surprised to see this An ad for Stephen King's newest, UNDER THE DOME . A trailer for a book? Do people still read? I got the book on Tuesday and am 100 pages in. Since it is 1100 pages long, I probably won't finish it for a while. Great read so far. I ...

Kevin Smith was one of the pioneers of 90's cinema. His low budget, lowbrow comedies paved the way for a lot of what we are seeing today. Plus, he was also one of the first, if not the first, filmmaker to use the internet to build a fanbase. I first saw his film CLERKS when it was on the film ...

Some ads I never get tired of. Like this one for Yoplait yogurt. That line "There's no such thing as a bear sheriff" gets me every time. From the delivery to the writing, a great ad.

I'm not one to normally post trailers for upcoming films, but the original CLASH OF THE TITANS was a favorite in the early 80's. Here is the trailer for the remake.

How can you review a film like GONE WITH THE WIND ? What can I possibly say about the film that hasn't already been said? Originally released seventy years ago, today, it remains one of the most talked about, most loved films of all time. It is routinely mentioned along side of CITIZEN KANE , ...

THE SKATEBIRDS seemed to be a Forgotten TV show the year after it went off the air. Back in 1979 or 1980, I found a board game. It was THE SKATEBIRDS game. Yet, I had never heard of THE SKATEBIRDS . What was this show, and why was there a board game of it? I bought it, and thought it was ...

Did anyone see CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM last night? When Larry David is leaving Banana Republic because of the fire alarm, there is a shot of a group of people also running to the door. One of the people, on screen for a second, was Ben Affleck. I even went back on my DVR and paused it. It had to ...

Several film blogs are reporting that David Fincher has officially signed on to direct a remake of the 1975 film THE REINCARNATION OF PETER PROUD . I wrote previously about PETER PROUD here as a Forgotten Film entry. It is a supernatural thriller about a man (Michael Sarrazin) who believes he ...
