FOX Upfronts

Category: TV,Upcomingvelveetahead @ 5:42 pm

In the middle of May every year, the networks get together to show off the new shows they picked up, congratulate those that they renewed and try not to talk about the shows they canceled. This year, FOX tried to deal with the effects of ending 24 and the waning popularity of American Idol, so it tried to outshine all of that with Glee, which seems to be its most popular show currently.

What Was Canceled

I think 24 went on a few seasons too long so I think it is good that it had its series finale this year. I’m surprised that Dollhouse was renewed for a second season, but still no one watched it, so I wasn’t surprised that it was canceled either. I enjoyed it while it was on.  Other FOX shows that were canceled that you might not know were even on the air: Brothers, Sit Down Shut Up, Sons of Tucson, Past Life, ‘Til Death and The Wanda Skyes Show.

Category: 2008,Movies,Openingvelveetahead @ 9:50 pm

Nationwide Releases


Dark Knight
Directed: Christopher Nolan
Starring: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Michael Caine
Trailer

Synopsis: Heath Ledger is super creepy as the Joker and Maggie Gyllenhaal has thankfully taken the role abandoned by Katie Holmes.

My Take: I can’t wait to see it. I loved the first one. Christian Bale is sexy and it looks super dark and awesome.

RT Score: 94%
RT Consensus: Dark, complex and unforgettable, The Dark Knight succeeds not just as an entertaining comic book film, but as a richly thrilling crime saga. Continue reading “Movies Opening July 18″

Movies Opening Mar 21

Category: 2008,Movies,Openingvelveetahead @ 12:38 pm

Nationwide Releases

Drillbit Taylor
Directed: Steven Brill
Starring: Owen Wilson, Leslie Mann, Danny McBride, Josh Peck, Troy Gentile
Trailer

Synopsis: Three kids getting bullied at school hire a bodyguard to help them out.

My Take: Cashing in on the Judd Apatow name with something that doesn’t look as funny as Knocked Up or Superbad, but I did giggle a bit at some of the trailer.

RT Score: 24%
RT Consensus: Owen Wilson’s charms can’t save Drillbit Taylor, an unfunny, overly familiar bullied-teen comedy.
