Community’s Three-Part Finale – Review
18 May 2012 10:12 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
I was very wary of having three episodes of Community airing in a single night. A part of me thought it might be too much awesome in one sitting, but those were the thoughts of a crazy man. I often fear Community will one day cease to entertain me in much the same way shows like Supernatural and The Office have lost their appeal. This Thursday, however, Community demonstrated everything it does well and more, with each new episode trumping the one preceding it. That is no small feat for a series that so often comes close to cancellation. I’ve thought long and hard about how I want to tackle this article; should I do three separate articles or one big, long one? In the end, I’ve decided to write one article. The episodes relate to each other in such a way it would only make sense to »

TV News: ‘Harold and Kumar’ Show Among Highlights of Adult Swim’s Jam-Packed 2012
17 May 2012 10:29 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, most known for subversive, random, and often times down right disgusting television programming such as “Children’s Hospital,” “Tim & Eric’s Awesome Show,” “Aqua Teen Hunger Force,” and “Robot Chicken,” has announced a whole slate of new programming after coming off it’s highest ratings in the block’s 11-year history.
Probably the only cable programming block to be associated with a terrorism scare, it appears that Adult Swim is ready to swing for the fences, acquiring a yet untitled “Harold and Kumar” animated series, as well as adapting the 2009 blaxploitation spoof “Black Dynamite” to appear on the network. While recent television-to-cartoon show “Napoleon Dynamite” didn’t take off for the Fox, It appears Adult Swim believes audiences are eager for more TV adaptations of lukewarm comedy properties.
Also joining proceedings is “Newsreaders,” a new satire from the twisted mind that brought you “Children’s Hospital”: Rob Corddry. »

Gilbert Gottfried, Sklar Bros. Headline Massive My Damn Channel Slate
2 May 2012 4:01 AM, PDT | Tubefilter.com | See recent Tubefilter News news »
Donnie Hoyle has some company. The depressive image-altering guru’s original web series You Suck at Photoshop was recently resurrected for a third season by My Damn Channel, but the popular program that’s racked up over 40 million views in aggregate and a nod from Time as a topnotch entertainment property is just one of many online originals to join the new media studio’s new upcoming slate. On the eve of the launch of My Damn Channel Live a few weeks back, My Damn Channel Founder/CEO Rob Barnett told me to expect more than 30 series to be released by his company in addition to the live one, which is hosted by comedian Beth Hoyt and airs daily at 4Pm Eastern, usually with celebrity guests (like David Wain and The Gregory Brothers). Today, Barnett and his team are revealing a good portion of those 30 series, all of which are »

1 May 2012 5:46 PM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
Leave it to NBC to make this season of Community and its impending future even more dramatic. On May 17 NBC will throw a curveball and move the hour-long season finale a week early, giving viewers the final three episodes in one night.

Jeff (Joel McHale) devises a plan and Troy (Donald Glover) comes up with one of his own with the help of Vice Dean Laybourne (John Goodman) understanding the risks involved as far as dealing with the scheming dean. This will lead into a new episode of 30 Rock.
“Introduction to Finality” will air at 9pm Et/Pt where Jeff squares off against his former law firm colleague Alan Connor, played by guest-star »

The Playlist's 10 Most Anticipated Indie Films Of The Summer
1 May 2012 7:01 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Despite the occasional film like "John Carter," the major studios are having a pretty good time of it in 2012. The box office is up all over, and films like "The Hunger Games," "21 Jump Street" and "The Avengers" have performed above expectations with both critics and audiences. There's plenty more to come in the summer, as we discussed yesterday in our blockbuster preview, but what of films of the non-explode-y variety in the warmer months?
While it may seem like there aren't that many options to compete with fare like "Prometheus" and "The Dark Knight Rises," there are some gems to look forward to; some of the best-received films of 2012 so far are making it to theaters in the next few months, along with a few others that we've got high hopes for. (And yes, we're cheating a bit with two studio movies in there, but they come from decidedly out-of-the-box »

'Community' Season Finale Gets Super-Sized!
28 April 2012 10:19 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
If you love "Community," then Thurs., May 17 will be a very cool, cool, cool treat. Sure, fans have all been fighting for six seasons and a movie, but three episodes for a finale isn't bad either.
According to The Futon Critic, NBC will be airing 90 minutes of "Community" for its big Season 3 finale, right smack in the middle of May sweeps. The finale, which was originally set to be an hour long with back-to-back episodes, is getting another episode thrown in the mix, bookending that night's Season 6 finale of "30 Rock" (8:30 p.m. Et).
While some may see this as the network trying to burn off remaining episodes of the show, others view it as a vote of confidence for "Community," which has always struggled in the ratings, but has seen an uptick the past few weeks after its hiatus. Airing three episodes of any show on one night is a bold move, »

Can You Smell What The Rock Is Cookin' in This New Image from Pain And Gain?
27 April 2012 6:30 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Michael Bay is hard at work directing his next action thriller Pain and Gain with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Mark Wahlberg. At $20 million dollars, this is probably the lowest budget movie that Bay has ever made.
The script was written by Captain America scribes Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. It's based on a true story that follows a pair of Florida bodybuilders who get caught up in an extortion ring, as well as a kidnapping scheme involving a wealthy businessman that goes terribly wrong. It also stars Rob Corddry, Rebel Wilson, Tony Shaloub, Anthony Mackie, Ed Harris, and Bar Paly.
A new image has been released from the film giving us a whole new perspective on what Bay actually has in store for us. As you will see in the image below Johnson is having himself a little BBQ, cooking himself up a little slice of... human hand!? Yeah, »

Back in his pro wrestling days, one of Dwayne Johnson's catch phrases as The Rock was, "Can you smell what The Rock is cooking?" I'm not sure we want to smell what the actor is cooking in this new photo from the set of Pain and Gain, which is currently shooting in Miami. This shot features the actor standing over a flaming grill with a severed hand, and brandishing a rather menacing look. Click on the photo to access our gallery.

Release Dates Set for ‘Lego,’ ‘42,’ ‘Celeste and Jesse,’ and TWC’s Animated Slate
23 April 2012 6:13 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
A whole bevy of release dates have been brought to our attention, so let’s get right down to it. Deadline tells us that February 24th, 2014 will see the release of Lego, a film from Phil Lord, Chris Miller (21 Jump Street, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs), and Chris McKay. You might think it’s a terrible idea — I did, at first — but some quotes from the former two directors has me legitimately interested in what might come from the film. Fingers crossed on this one.
Secondly, Deadline reports that Brian Helgeland‘s 42, a Jackie Robinson-centered drama, will be released by Warner Bros. on April 12th, 2013 — three days before the 66th anniversary of the player’s induction into the Mlb. Chadwick Boseman will play Robinson; Harrison Ford has been cast as Dodgers executive Branch Rickey; and Nicole Beharie is appearing as Robinson’s wife, Rachel. Christopher Meloni, T.R. Knight, »
