Veterans Day: ‘The Way We Get By’ on POV

Jerry Mundy, Joan Gaudet and Bill Knight
The excellent PBS documentary program POV is screening The Way We Get By for Veterans Day tonight and I recommend you check it out. It tells the moving story of a group of Bangor Maine senior citizens who have taken it upon themselves to greet soldiers coming in from [...]

Ewoks Amok

Everyone knows you’re not supposed to feed a Gremlin after midnight, but it turns out you should also avoid giving Ewoks martinis before noon. Today Show space filler Al Roker learned this the hard way as one of the horny little bastards humped his leg on this morning’s Halloween episode after breaking into mom and [...]

‘South Park’ vs. ‘The Cove’: Blame Japan!

At the Movies: 9

I missed Michael Phillips’ and A.O. Scott’s  new incarnation of At the Movies on Sunday because I was busy jamming my pie hole with barbecue and booze.

Emma Watson comports herself perfectly on David Letterman.

The New Kirk and Spock on the New SNL

Here are Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine on Saturday Night Live defending the new Star Trek to some of the hard core fans who have a problem with the film. Do those people exist? Really?

Yeah, the movie actually had more humor in it than this or any typical episode of the modern SNL.

‘I.O.U.S.A.’ to hit CNN this Weekend

The Oscar short-listed doc I.O.U.S.A. is running on CNN on Saturday January 10 at 2pm EST (11am PST) and Sunday January 11 at 3pm EST (12pm PST).
Taking a frightening and non-political look at the ballooning federal deficit, I.O.U.S.A. predicts disaster on the near horizon if we don’t change our over-spending ways.
Rather than point fingers and [...]
