Blu-ray Review: It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia: A Very Sunny Christmas
21 November 2009 10:50 AM, PST
The gang of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has been busy this year pumping out another hit season of the FX comedy – from taking a road trip, to tackling economic woes, to guest stars, to professional wrestling, to an attempt at cleverly marketing a product through an episode about marketing products for the pub. The laughs are still coming strong in the fifth season. To coincide with that season, the gang released a straight-to-home video Christmas special subtitled “A Very Sunny Christmas,” which is available on both DVD and Blu-ray. But while the core content continues to bring the funny antics of Philadelphia’s biggest miscreants, with a few crude twists for the holidays, the special features and half-hearted (and even that term is being generous) hi-def transfer may leave fans wondering why this deserved its own release. A Very Sunny Christmas is essentially a double-length episode of the show, »

17 November 2009 11:51 AM, PST
Tonight on NBC at 8Pm, Dreamworks present another Christmas special in the vein of 2007's success, "Shrek the Halls". This time, it will be the animals from Madagascar that will usher in the holiday season with "Merry Madagascar." Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman find themselves working hard to deliver toys once Santa Claus crash lands on their island and develops amnesia. Besides pleasing some anticipating kids, they set there eyes on using Santa's sleight to return to New York (but don't bet on that one, because there's a Madagascar 3 in the works with a rumored plot to return to Central Park). Last week, we hopped on a conference call with Chris Rock, voice of Marty. So it seems like nowadays a lot more adult content comedians are jumping into family projects. What for you is the appeal in doing a crossover like this? Chris Rock: I mean, well I'm obviously already in, »

Dexter Season 4 Episode 9 Promo/Preview : 'Hungry Man'
17 November 2009 9:26 AM, PST
With eight episodes in the can, Dexter Season 4 enters its third act this Sunday with "Hungry Man" and all of us are trapped in the writers' cleverly crafted "Who Shot Deb and Lundy?" mystery. Episode 4.08 "Road Kill" will be forever remembered for introducing us to the Trinity Killer shuffle (who knew that John Lithgow was that nimble?). The enigma that is Arthur "Twinkletoes" Mitchell was further unfolded as we find out the genesis for his ritual of three kills. At the age of 10, he inadvertently caused the death of his sister in the bathtub, which in turn caused his mother to commit suicide by jumping off a building. Sometime after that, his father "died," as he put it (more like he got pummeled by a hammer as Dexter puts it). Phew, that's a lot of take in. Is that enough to push a man to a 30 ... »

‘Deadlocke’ Deadlocked
16 November 2009 7:17 AM, PST
Teen angst and mysterious origins form the core of Dark Horse Comics’ latest release, Deadlocke. Teaming up for this novel-to-comic adaptation are writer Arvid Nelson (Rex Mundi) and artist Nick Stakal (Criminal Macabre). “Deadlocke” is very loosely based on the young adult novel, “Venomous” by Chris Krovatin. Both books introduce seventeen-year-old Locke Vinetti, an introvert whose fictional semi-hero creation, Deadlocke, provides an outlet for his inner demons and desires. Locke has depended on the tutelage of Casey, a ‘Tyler Durden’- esque character, brimming with confidence and eager to unlock Locke’s pent up emotions through art and physical violence. Unfortunately, Locke seeks to keep his troubled-past behind him to keep the girl of his dreams, Renee, who harbors her own secrets and insecurities. It soon becomes clear that the plane separating reality from fiction begin to blur as Deadlocke threatens to become a very real presence ... »
