Hung out at the lounge on the second floor of San Jose Rep and met Corpse Run's director John-Michael Thomas, who is proceeding onward to the Phoenix Film Festival; this self-taught filmmaker was talking about how he cast star Brea Grant right before she went up to the big time ...

V for Vicar

Friday, September 26th, 2008

I'm not embarrassed by what I watch, listen to or read, but if I had a covert comedy shame lately, it would be The Vicar of Dibley. It’s like a secret virgin treasure. It's so damn cute and just the lamest sitcom ever. (And it’s easily available on DVD.) The series ...

Everything I know about life I learned from Seinfeld

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

It just keeps happening, years after Seinfeld went off the air. On Aug. 28, news comes from London that a slice of 27-year-old cake from Princess Di marriage to Prince Charles was hawked at auction for 1,200 pounts (what? about $2,500 dollars).  The auctioneer is quoted as saying, "The slice ...

Lost: “There’s No Place Like Home, Part 1″

Friday, May 16th, 2008

Part one of the two-part season finale, "There's No Place Like Home," barely delves into the most intriguing aspect of last week's captivating "Cabin Fever," Locke's plan to move the island (they're saving that one for next time). The hour functions more as setup for what's bound to be a ...

Lost: “Cabin Fever”

Friday, May 9th, 2008

I'm going to keep it short because I'm preoccupied with another project at the moment, plus this episode is so remarkable I've been rendered speechless. It even resurrected my favorite recurring Lost catchphrase, "Don't tell me what I can't do!" That line is to Locke the one-time preemie/ex-paraplegic/perennial outcast what ...

Lost: “Something Nice Back Home”

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

On Tuesday's American Idol, Paula Abdul revealed she's a time traveler when she gave Jason Castro her critique of a performance he hadn't done yet. There could only be one explanation for that and other instances of erratic behavior. She's been exposed to electromagnetic radiation, and it's caused her to become unstuck ...

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Welcome back, smoke monster. We missed you. Oh yeah, and we missed you too, show. When we last left Lost in March: -Alex (current Maroon 5 video chick Tania Raymonde), her boo Karl (Blake Bashoff) and the mother she just recently discovered, Danielle Rousseau (Mira Furlan), were ambushed while hiding from the ...

Lost: “Meet Kevin Johnson”

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Welcome back, Walt's Angry Dad. I didn't miss you. And will you keep it down? Stop shouting. Too loud, man, too loud. My St. Pat's hangover. Still haven't recovered. (Spoilers after the jump)

Lost: “Ji Yeon”

Friday, March 14th, 2008

On the latest installment of Lost, a long-missing 815er finally resurfaces, Jin reacts badly to the revelation of his pregnant wife Sun's pre-island affair with Jae Lee—but Jin ultimately decides to be the forgiving Silda to Sun's Eliot Spitzer—and the implied fate of one of the most likable 815ers must ...
