Stars: Tom Cruise, Dustin Hoffman, Valeria Golino Writers: Ronald Bass and Barry Morrow, based on a story by Morrow Director: Barry Levinson Distributor: MGM Home Entertainment Suggested Retail Price: $19.99 Director Barry Levinson is one of the most underrated directors – EVER. His ability to hone in on small moments within big scenes and keep multiple conversations going by various character and still make a scene engaging is unparalleled. He honed his craft on such character pieces as DINER, TIN MEN and AVALON, but with RAIN MAN, he took his quirky skills to the next level and delivered an Oscar […]Read On »

You have access to the Beatles catalog.

We know. You’ve only shoved it down our throats year-after-year and letting us hear some of our favorite songs of all time get butchered again and again.

Yet, instead of taking a different tack and maybe doing a nice U2 night or an Aerosmith night (I mean come on you have Steven Tyler sitting right there), or a Chicago night, or even a freaking Metallica night, we once again get the Beatles.

Last week ran the borderline with the title “Comeback”, and this week’s show “Blame it on the Alcohol” was just one messy step from being an ABC After School Special. I honestly hate that […]Read On »

With one of the most unmistakable voices in pop music, John Waite enters his fifth decade in the record business with an excellent new 11-song album ROUGH & TUMBLE (which hits stores today). The former Babys and Bad English frontman, Waite is perhaps best known for his 1980s solo hit song “Missing You” and the NO BRAKES album from which is came from. Yet, despite the fame that came with that track, Waite continued to follow his own muse – ignoring trends and fads, and creating a rich body of work including the superb 1990s solo records TEMPLE BAR and […]Read On »

In the second half, writers Toni Graphia & Robbie Thompson and director Roxann Dawson go instead for ALICE IN WONDERLAND-esque trippiness, with better results. The trippiness is mostly […]Read On »

Stars: Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Adam Baldwin, Joshua Gomez, Vic Sahay, Scott Krinsky, Sarah Lancaster, Ryan McPartlin, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Bonita Friedericy Writers: Rafe Judkins, Lauren LeFranc Director: Patrick Norris Network: NBC, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: February 21, 2011 First off, it’s nice that CHUCK hasn’t completely abandoned the Alexei Volkoff (Timothy Dalton) Big Bad storyline that wrapped up with “The Push Mix” a few weeks ago. Given there is still half a season to go, to send off Volkoff to prison without a fight (or some other kind of twist) would be unfair to say the least. With […]Read On »
