ABC Hot for Sci-fi Drama 'Flash Forward'

ABC Hot for Sci-fi Drama ‘Flash Forward’

By Jason on September 22, 2008

After some heated bidding, a spec script by Blade filmmaker David S. Goyer and Star Trek veteran Brannon Braga is close to landing at ABC. ABC is hoping the series, Flash Forward, could be a worthy companion to Lost.
Based on Robert J. Sawyer’s sci-fi novel, Flash Forward chronicles the chaos that ensues after A [...]

Catch the Season Premiere of Entourage for Free!

Catch the Season Premiere of Entourage for Free!

By Mike on September 7, 2008

A late heads up to you guys this early NFL Kick-Off Sunday morning. HBO is running a free preview weekend on DIRECTV (I enjoyed another high-def viewing of Live Free or Die Hard) right now and that means you can watch the season premiere of Entourage without paying for it!

The budget in our house right now kind of restricts us from both Showtime and HBO (the baby on the way says we need a crib and her room painted more than TV), so I had chosen Dexter to watch instead of the hilarious Entourage.

HBO: Hard Knocks - Training Camp with the Dallas Cowboys (Episode 3)

HBO: Hard Knocks – Training Camp with the Dallas Cowboys (Episode 3)

By ThinkBox on August 27, 2008

We begin Episode three of Hard Knocks 2008 with the coaches evaluating the performance of the players during the San Diego preseason game. The first team was solid and efficient so coaches are giving them a lot of praise. However, the second team and beyond had very little praise as they were far less productive compared to the second and third string of the Chargers. Danny Amendola’s fumble on his first punt return was mentioned. That’s not good for the fan favorite underdog.

Jennifer's Body Poster Is Ironic and Derivative

Jennifer’s Body Poster Is Ironic and Derivative

By Jason on July 29, 2008

It’s some really bad luck for whoever did the artwork for the poster for Jennifer’s Body. The poster for the new film from Juno scribe Diablo Cody features, ironically enough, Jennifer’s head and no body. I suppose that would be okay except for the fact that HBO release the poster for True Blood a couple of days earlier, and, well…let’s just say that they have some similarities.

Poster and preview for True Blood, new HBO vampire series

Poster and preview for True Blood, new HBO vampire series

By Mike on July 23, 2008

For some reason, I haven’t been paying much attention to the new HBO series True Blood, either because I didn’t know what it was all about, or somehow just missed hearing about it.

Either way, the premiere is coming on September 7th and I wanted to give you all a heads up on what might be a pretty interesting new take on the vampire mythology.

Entourage returns September 7th

Entourage returns September 7th

By Mike on July 22, 2008

One of my favorite shows is HBO’s Entourage and it finally returns on September 7th. Once that date hits, it will have been over a YEAR since we saw Vincent Chase and his crew sell of Medellin for one dollar to an unlikely party: Harvey.

And Lost/BSG fans think they have it bad.

Movie Review: "Sex and the City" (2008)

Movie Review: “Sex and the City” (2008)

By Mike on July 7, 2008

I never expected to be writing a review for the Sex and the City movie. I watched some of the television series, but not enough to have any desire to see this film.

But after a summer filled with superheroes, violence and action, a silly romantic comedy actually seemed like it would be refreshing

George Carlin HBO tribute

By Mike on June 25, 2008

In honor of George Carlin, HBO is busting out a major tribute by running a marathon tonight and tomorrow night.

The marathon will feature 11 of his comedy specials over two nights. Over his 30+ year career, he did an amazing 14 solo comedy specials for the HBO network. The lineup will begin with his first ever show, “George Carlin at USC”, and end with his last, “It’s Bad For Ya.”

"Recount" premieres on HBO this Sunday

“Recount” premieres on HBO this Sunday

By Mike on May 21, 2008

A stellar cast bolsters Recount, an HBO film that details the insane events that happened in Florida during the 2000 Presidential Election.

The movie is supposed to be a highly entertaining look at the stuff that happened during those five weeks when the Supreme Court ultimately gave Florida to George W. Bush.

Band of Brothers coming to Blu-Ray

Band of Brothers coming to Blu-Ray

By Mike on April 1, 2008

Somehow I never got to see Band of Brothers, the HBO classic miniseries that has a 9.6 out of 10 rating on IMDB by over 46,000 readers.

Directed by Tom Hanks, co-produced by himself and Steven Spielberg, the 10-part miniseries won countless awards from Emmys to Golden Globes, and is considered to be among the best miniseries of all-time.
