It is also consistently entertaining and intermittently moving, but by the end, we realize that it hasn’t been all that illuminating. We see Brown’s traumatic childhood, which suggests the adult Brown […]Read On »

To the delight of its devoted fans, COMMUNITY has resumed its third season on Thursday nights at 8 PM. Created by Dan Harmon, the half-hour comedy started with the premise of young lawyer Jeff Winger (Joel McHale) having to return to community college to shore up his law degree, but as it proceeded, the show has taken on movie parodies, Claymation and all manner of other unpredictable content. Chevy Chase co-stars as Pierce Hawthorne, who made a fortune in the moist towelette business but joins the central study group as a way to make friends, even though he’s not very […]Read On »

CD Review: TRADING PLACES soundtrack (2,000 edition)

Warner Bros. Pictures presented the Los Angeles Premiere of YOGI BEAR on December 11th at the Village Theater in Westwood, in Association with Sunswept Entertainment/De Line Pictures Production and Rhythm & Hues. The brown carpet had YOGI BEAR written down the length and the background was decorated like a forest park. Arriving early I got a chance to walk through where the pre-party was to be held. It was set up with rides for the kids, food areas, and logs to sit on … just like Jellystone Park. Everyone is familiar with Yogi Bear and his pal Boo-Boo which are […]Read On »
