Episode Recap: "Girl Earl" | My Name Is Earl | 5/9/2008
At least Earl got to experience pure bliss with Billie for a little while — he soon awoke to the realization that he had to (gasp!) actually get to know the woman he just married. It turns out she's not his 100 percent dream woman after all. Her hodgepodge of quirks included ruining Earl's chip-to-sandwich eating ratio, intruding on Earl's bathroom breaks, and opining that Sammy Hagar beats David Lee Roth as front man of Van Halen (her biggest sin in my book). While he took Joy's advice to... read more
Exclusive: Blu-ray for Rambo II & Rambo III | DVD News and Reviews | 2/3/2008
Last weekend Rambo opened in theaters, and as I write this the film has now earned an estimated $25 million at the box office, putting it among the Top 5 money-making movies of the (very short) year so far. There was a lot of doubt that audiences would still have an appetite for Sylvester Stallone's hard-to-stop soldier, but this fourth and final film appears to have struck the same good chord as 2006's Rocky Balboa did: it offers a good way to wrap up the story of a beloved cinema character... read more
A Likable Host for a Long, Low-Key Oscars | Roush Dispatch | 2/26/2007
The one thing I realized as Oscar night droned on and on for nearly four hours: If I ever had to choose someone to be stranded with for hours on end (say, like those poor Jet Blue passengers a few weeks ago), it would have to be Ellen DeGeneres.Keeping her cool, and her genuine aura of chipper goodwill, throughout three costume changes (in suits from red velvet to all-white to royal blue) and what seemed once again like an overindulgent excess of movie montages (we definitely could have done... read more
Film Registry Keeps Mel Brooks' Saddles Blazing | Today's News: Our Take | 12/27/2006
Blazing Saddles, Fargo, Groundhog Day, Halloween, Notorious, Rocky and sex, lies and videotape are among the 25 films selected this year for inclusion in the National Film Registry, Variety reports. This update to the catalog of "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant" films to be preserved in perpetuity also includes the silent fare Flesh and the Devil (the first on-screen pairing of John Gilbert and Greta Garbo) and Tess of the Storm Country (the 1914 feature that made Mary... read more
Thirty Years Later, Rocky Balboa Still Packs a Punch | TV Matt'rs | 12/12/2006
Can we all just close our eyes and pretend that Rocky V never happened? Because if ever there were a franchise-finisher to be remembered for staging the Italian Stallion's final bout, Rocky Balboa, due out Dec. 20, portends to be it. Having grown up with this film series, I cheered and I cried at a press screening last week, as the famed palooka-turned-pugilist entered the ring just one more, most memorable time.The Oscar-winning Rocky and its first follow-up were seminal films, even coining... read more
Big Day, Episode 2 | Stephen's Big Day Blog | 12/5/2006
After I wrote last week's blog, I planned on never having to write another story about my life. All I had to do, I figured, was just spend the next 10 weeks responding to the comments from this one. It is now seven days later and right now there are three fewer comments on my TVGuide.com blog than there are on my IMDB page arguing that I look like David Boreanaz: "However, David is much more attractive." (Words hurt, Dovercliffs.) Which is to say, zero. So here's blog entry No. 2.For me, as for... read more
