RSSOscars Preview: 'King's Speech'… For the Win?!!
Only a few weeks ago, it was all golden for David Fincher’s study of greed in our modern, technological world, The Social Network. It had taken the majority of the Oscar predicting awards for Best Picture (including the Golden Globe), and it seemed to be completely unbeatable in the upcoming finale to the awards season, the Oscars.
But then, The King’s Speech, the constant second place finisher to Social Network's champion, started winning everything. It began with the Producer’s Guild Award, which raised an eyebrow; but, I was willing to pass that off as older Hollywood showing preferenc...

Golden Globes Preview: "The King’s Speech" Needs a Win
The Social Network has dominated critics’ best-of lists, pre-Oscar awards, and earned high praises from both critics and (God forbid!) regular people, and with good reason. Besides being an excellent film of greed, ambition, and how far one has to go to change the way people see their world, it is also a film purely of now. This is our world reflected back to us with all the darkness on display. However, “our” in this case tends to exclude the aging Hollywood generation, which gives hope to the likes of more traditional Oscar favorites like The King’s Speech.

"Human Target": Love the Show, Hate the New Girl
A long time ago, in a blog far, far away, I wrote about what I loved and didn’t like about the show Human Target. (http://bobbybillentertainmentblog.blogspot.com/search?q=human+target) What I liked, and still like, about the Fox show, which stars Mark Valley as Christopher Chance, a bodyguard who specializes in putting his clients in danger so as to draw out whoever’s attempting to kill them, is that it’s just so much fun. Chance, along with his partners Winston (Chi McBride, I still love Pushing Daisies!) and Guerrero (Watchmen’s Jackie Earl Haley), seemed to live in a permanent action mov...

Disney's 'Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes!' Is Better Than You Might Think
Speaking as a devoted fan of the Marvel-verse and the collection of their premiere heroes known as The Avengers, I have been pleasantly surprised by the animated version currently airing on Disney XD (and before you ask, I have no idea what “XD” stands for).
For those who don’t eat, sleep, and breathe comic books, The Avengers is a team made up of Marvel’s biggest names and heaviest hitters. Starting when Ant-Man, Iron Man, Wasp, Thor, and Hulk were brought together to fight Thor’s evil brother Loki, the team has lasted through decades of deaths, crossover events, and roster changes to rem...

There's No Place Like 'Haven'
Initially, I didn’t like this show very much. Based on the story Colorado Kid by Stephen King, Syfy’s latest series follows FBI agent Audrey Parker (Emily Rose, a former cast member of ER and Brothers and Sisters, she also voiced Elena Fisher in the first Uncharted video game) as she moves into Haven, a mysterious small town in New England where quite a few people have abilities far beyond normal.
After tracking a fugitive to Haven, Parker decides to stay on and help the town deal with their unique problems while also investigating a woman who showed up there twenty years ago and bore more...

Syfy's Hit Duo: 'Warehouse 13' and 'Eureka'
Warehouse 13: In the fist season, the show about two Secret Service agents hunting down artifacts capable of everything from passing through solid objects to seeing the future, really overdid the "will they/ won’t they" relationship between business-like Myka Bering (Joanne Kelly) and free-spirited Pete Lattimer (Eddie McClintock). And yeah, some of you out there are saying "Hey, they stole that from Castle, and Castle stole it from Bones," ignoring that X-Files did the exact same type of relationship and did it much better over a decade before any of them. But, I digress.
My point is that...

A Writer's Theory On 'Inception' (Part 2 of 2)
Note: This is continued from my previous post and makes no sense if you have not read that post. Oh, and MASSIVE SPOILER ALERT!!! Do not continue if you have not seen Inception!
Now then, where was I? Oh, right, I was trying to convince you all that (a) I'm not a complete lunatic and (b) Inception is nothing but a dream.
My third point then, is that little conveniences abound throughout the film. The team for a blatantly illegal enterprise is located quite easily (all while time is compressed dream-style), and even Ariadne (Ellen Page) simply says "Yes" despite the fact that we have zero ...

'Inception' Solved? (Part 1 of 2)
OK, Inception’s been number one three weeks in a row, we’ve all seen it and re-seen it and obsessed over it, so it’s now time to openly and bluntly discuss the film, to hell with the few people who have yet to watch Christopher Nolan’s mind-bending thriller.
That being said, MASSIVE SPOILER ALERT!!!! Do not read on if you have not yet seen Inception, or this brilliant film might not only be ruined for you, but my theory as to the film’s meaning could very possible plant itself in your head, influencing your viewing of the film.
Still with me?

Blunt Parody Trumps Tradition on 'Psych'
What I’ve always loved about Psych is that no one on the show is taking themselves seriously at all. When plugging the latest season on Attack of the Show, Dule Hill (who plays Burton "Gus" Guster on the show, a somewhat sidekick to a fake psychic) referred to episodes as the "Rush Hour episode" or the "Close Encounters episode."
This is a show that fully embraces what it is: one big joke at the expense of everything and anything else. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
Now in their fifth season, Psych hasn’t slowed up or worsened yet. With Shawn (James Roday) and Gus still being Shawn ...
