But from the reviews I've read, the real unique aspect of it may be the ... http://popcritics.com/2009/06/guillermo-del-toros-the-strain-is-on-book-shelves-everywhere Try as I might, it seems the universe is destined to keep me watching 24.

I hadn't missed much and the fact that the President's daughter suddenly was acting Chief of Staff was ... http://popcritics.com/2009/06/fine-ill-keep-watching-24 How much did you enjoy the Twilight movie? Its sequel, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, will be hitting theaters on November 20. If you have had the chance to see Twilight, I think you are going to enjoy the next one to hit theaters. The first movie in the ... http://popcritics.com/2009/06/new-moon-will-hit-theaters-this-year After Hannah Montana: The Movie (the movie based off the TV series) hit theaters, there were thoughts of canceling the show because of the movie's plot, but it seems the show will continue.

One of my favorites is Summer Catch, starring Freddie Prinze Jr. (She's All That), Jessica Biel (7th Heaven), and Matthew Lillard. Summer is just around the corner and baseball is one of America's favorite summer ... http://popcritics.com/2009/05/baseball-and-summer-love Since I purchase way too many movies, television series, and books, I figured I should start up a series here on this site that would allow me to share with you what I'm interested in.

Every year, these movies are ... http://popcritics.com/2008/12/what-christmas-movies-will-you-be-watching-this-week Spoiler Warning: reading this without seeing yesterday's episode will completely spoil it for you.
