Mega Buzz on Lost, Grey's, CSI: Miami and More! | Today's News: Our Take | 8/6/2008
Senior editors Matt Webb Mitovich and Mickey O'Connor answer your questions!I know Skaters and Jaters are asking about their Lost couples, but please don't ignore us Jacketeers! Is there hope for a Jack-Juliet reunion? – TamunaMatt: Hope? Sure. It's just a matter of where (back on the island, I can only assume) and when (perhaps as early as this coming season, at least one source tells me). And for those fretting about Elizabeth Mitchell's future with the show, I am assured that Juliet figures very heavily into Season 5. Me, I see her and Sawyer (wet and shirtless or even dry and clothed) taking charge as Locke and his band of worshippers move forth with whatever cockamamy plan they have in mind. Can you give me any Grey's Anatomy scoop about Meredith and Derek? – BryanMatt: The good news: They're together! The bad news: Do either of them have any idea what "together" means? Not really. So when the action picks back up, they'll be trying to figure out how being a mutually... read more
Hotel Babylon Season 2 — Review | DVD News and Reviews | 8/5/2008
Welcome back to Hotel Babylon, where you're guaranteed an entertaining stay. Based on the book by Imogen Edwards-Jones and "Anonymous," Hotel Babylon takes you behind-the-scenes of a five-star hotel in London. Though it's a fictitious account of the going-ons in the hotel, it's based on the anonymous author's 15 years working at some of the top hotels in London. The series reminds me of Las Vegas, with entertaining characters, a stylish location, and quick cuts and "zooms" from one location to the next. Unfortunately this set lacks bonus material of any kind, but the 8 episodes spread over 3 discs will bring you hours of entertainment. — Gord LaceyBuy Hotel Babylon Season 2 on Amazon.com. read more

The Joy of Sets: BBC-ya! | DVD News and Reviews | 2/27/2008
So, obviously, I watched a ton of TV as a kid here in Philadelphia. But the one thing that had me running for the clicker faster than viewers did from last week's Oscars were those hoity-toity funny-talkin' people on Channel 12 (aka public television). High-button collars. Translucent skin. Questionable dentistry. I just didn't get how anyone would watch a show that didn't have cool, tan cops like the CHiPs guys or glamorous, toothy detectives like Charlie's Angels. I mean really, Doctor Who back then was a fright, with his big scarf and unsettling robotic dog. No thanks! I'd take the original Battlestar's dagget over that mess any day.Now that I'm slightly more evolved in my viewing habits, the idea of international programming is far less off-putting to my ugly American sense and sensibilities. Hell, I'll go so far as to say that the BBC in particular has been schooling some of the major U.S. networks on how to really do culty cool and sexy TV lately. And bless the stars, we've... read more
