Article The Newsroom: Cable News Media Played for Laughs and Cries

If everybody hates it, that usually means I like it. The Newsroom on HBO is one of the best things to come along in a while. Not just because it is Aaron Sorkin, not just because Jeff Daniels is not Tom Hanks and certainly not just because I hate the Tea Party too. All over the place and almost like the real thing, it is television worth watching.

Article Addicted to Bristol's Show: Can Sarah Save Us?

The extreme voyeurism of reality television reaches out and tweaks the worst part of our natures. If Bristol Palin left her diary on the table in your kitchen, would you read it? If a Palin reality show was filmed in Alaska and nobody watched would it really be real? These questions and more bedevil me as we journey to the land of the midnight sun where the men are men and apparently the women are too in Bristol Palin: Life's A Tripp.

Article HBO's Game Change Comes Up a Bit Short

Highly anticipated, Game Change ultimately falls flat, but not because it is not entertaining enough in a superficial way. The story of Sarah from Alaska and her ascension to the national stage is an unpleasant story of unpleasant people trying to do very unpleasant things. Maybe playing it for real laughs would have redeemed it.

PR The Story Of Rock N Roll Comics on DVD Apr 24

The unauthorized and often controversial comics featured biographies of music groups such as KISS, the Sex Pistols and Metallica. Loved by some (Gene Simmons, Alice Cooper, Lemmy, Metallica) and threatened by others (Axl Rose, Skid Row, New Kids on the Block), over 300 issues of Rock 'N' Roll comics were printed, embracing all music genres: Rock, Alternative, Hip-Hop, Punk and Pop and they quickly became instant collector's items. In a strange twist, Loren is found murdered in his condo in 1992, making people speculate that he may have the first victim of 'serial' killer Andrew Cunanan, leading to an absorbing mystery that still remains, UNSOLVED today.

DVD Review ATLAS SHRUGGED PART 1

You have demanded it and now here it is. The screen adaptation of Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, or at least Part One on DVD. Yeah, I know you had good reason to avoid it in the theater, but now you can get your intellectual on in a big way. Well, maybe a little way. It's a good chance to get a "light on the sauce" taste of what the big meal is all about. Whether there is a there there is strictly a matter of taste.
