Posted on June 30, 2012 by ilmozart

I don’t have too much to say about Ted, Seth MacFarlane’s big screen effort. In the end, if you enjoy Family Guy, you’ll probably enjoy Ted. Luckily, I do so I did. Filled with fart jokes and bizarre sexual humor … Continue reading →

Newer Trailers Alert: Looper and Total Recall

Posted on June 28, 2012 by ilmozart

I figured since these weren’t new in that we’ve already seen trailers for Looper and Total Recall, I could bundle these. Plus they are both sci-fi flicks, so the pairing makes total sense. First, Looper with Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, … Continue reading →

So You Think You Can Dance – A Reality Show I’ll Watch

Posted on June 27, 2012 by ilmozart

Overall I’m not too crazy about reality competition shows. I gave up on America’s Next Top Model and Hell’s Kitchen. I watched season 1 of Survivor, but then quit it. I never even started The Amazing Race or Big Brother … Continue reading →

New Trailer Alert: Taken 2

Posted on June 21, 2012 by ilmozart

Posted on June 20, 2012 by ilmozart

I recently realized I’m writing something about Game of Thrones every day. And for good reason, the show is brilliant, the cast is brilliant, and it’s tendrils are slowly creeping into pop culture, spreading the good word. So I thought … Continue reading →

New Trailer Alert: Monsters University

Posted on June 20, 2012 by ilmozart

With Brave opening on Friday to what seems to be only OK reviews (currently at 73% on Rotten Tomatoes), and Cars 2 being a bust, perhaps it is indeed time for Pixar to dig into their vaults and come back … Continue reading →

The Futurama is here! Tonight!

Posted on June 20, 2012 by ilmozart

You might say that Futurama is the American Dad to the Simpsons’ Family Guy. By that I mean a show that was created by someone (Groening, Macfarlane) who had a mega hit, and eventually the second show become more creatively … Continue reading →
