In the wake of the success of the movie Juno it is not surprising that a television network would take on the topic of teen pregnancy. I had hope for the new ABC Family show The Secret Life of the American Teenager based on the previews that were heavily pushed on that network. The teenager [...]

I am looking forward to a new movie that is based on the true story of the guy who invented the intermittent windshield wiper and then had to sue Ford who stole the idea from him. The movie features Lauren Graham, Dermot Mulroney, and Greg Kinnear.

“Forgetting Sarah Marshall” is not your father’s break-up comedy. Or my father’s break-up comedy. But it’s an excellent one.
“Marshall” features Jason Segal as main character Peter Bretter, a semi-successful loser who is dating Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), the star of the show he writes music for. At least, until the opening of the film, when [...]

The new movie 21 is based on the true story of MIT students who raised money card counting in Vegas for medical school. Well OK, maybe they were graduates of MIT, Princeton and other schools who card counted mostly in Atlantic City to raise money for… well for whatever you can buy with money. The [...]

If you are having trouble getting into a baseball mood here at the beginning of the season I would suggest adding a few baseball movies to your Netflix.com queue. There are a number of movies that could work like The Natural , Damn Yankees, Eight Men Out, Bang the Drum Slowly, Angels in the Outfield, [...]

I have been trying to figure out what the video setup of the living room of the future is (or at least of my future) and a new discovery on ABC.com makes me wonder if it is time to ditch my television completely.
But let’s back up a bit first. My current setup did not used [...]
