American Idol? Feh. America’s Next Top Model? Whatever. The Donald? Yeah, yeah … we’re fired. We know. Those are the top competition-based reality shows out there right now where someone is trying to win a career rather than a prize. But now comes the pinnacle, the creme-de-la-creme, the contest to end all contests. Why itContinue reading “THE REALITY SHOW WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR”

There’s been a lot of pretty interesting casting news recently. More than I usually remember happening in such a short period of time. Either that, or I’m simply paying more attention than usual. Still, from what I’ve read this morning …. They did it. I guess Gary Sinese is the latest actor to be luredContinue reading “CASTING ABOUT …”

OK, let me start with two things first: 1) I love, lurve, heart, worship, lust for Kate Winslet. 2) “A subtle Jim Carrey” is no longer an oxymoron. I hate it when critics in March call something “best movie of the year,” or “performance of the year,” but there is no way in or outContinue reading “ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF A BRILLIANT MOVIE”

The Hollywood Reporter has a story today about a new musical to be directed by John Turturro and starring Christopher Walken, Mary-Louise Parker, James Gandolfini, Susan Sarandon, Mandy Moore and Kate Winslet. Yes … I said a new musical. I first just saw a headline, and then after coming-to, I went on to read aContinue reading “THIS SOUNDS … INTERESTING”

You want to know what all the hype is about the sitcom Arrested Development? Well, aside from it’s regular Sunday night timeslot, you have two (really more) other options to catch what is possibly the funniest show on TV (now that Curb Your Enthusiasm has ended its season and regardless of what NBC marketing says,Continue reading “NOW THERE’S NO EXCUSE FOR NOT WATCHING”

So Friday was my last day at the “old” job, which is really a misnomer since I will be returning to the “old” job in mid-May, which I suppose simply supports (oooh alliteration … fun) the adage whatever is old becomes new again. (Is that it? Whatever … serves my purposes.) But I digress …Continue reading “SUPERMAN BE DAMNED: AN ARGUMENT AGAINST A PHONE BOOTH“

The cinetrix takes note of the fact that Patrick Swayze and his dancer wife plan to produce a film based on some play they wrote about a New York dance company and two of its former stars. She takes note of Swayze seemingly having missed Robert Altman’s recent collaboration with Neve Campbell in The Company.Continue reading “HE’S JUST A DANCE MACHINE”

As usual, I often start things at particularly the most inopportune moment. Take this blog, for example. About two weeks ago, I finally said to myself, “Aaron, get off your ass and start this damn thing you’ve been talking about for the past four months.” Lo and behold, I did, knowing full well that inContinue reading “NATURAL LULL — WHERE ARE THE MOVIES (AND OTHER POSTS)”

When this season of Curb Your Enthusiasm started and began its storyline involving Larry starring in The Producers on Broadway, I was a bit disappointed. The ensuing episodes which included The Producers storyline were never as good as the ones that left it unmentioned completely or as something simply going on in the background. Personally,Continue reading “CURB MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS”

Everyone knows that tonight is the premiere of another episode of The Sopranos, but at some point you should seriously consider revisiting last week’s episode through the eyes of Aaron (no, not me) at Television Without Pity. If you’ve never visited the site, their talented staff writes recaps (laced with sarcasm) of a selection ofContinue reading “I’M JUST A FAN”
