Author Jasper Fforde | ©2011 Jasper Fforde

Jasper Fforde’s series of books about the heroine Thursday Next are as difficult to describe as they are delightful to read. Imagine a somewhat alternate version of Britain where audiences respond to Shakespeare stage performances the way midnight moviegoers enjoy THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. Now also imagine there’s a secret branch of the government, Jurisfiction, charged with making sure that fictional characters don’t jump from book to book and wreak havoc. Thursday Next is an agent of Jurisfiction, but in Fforde’s newly published ONE OF OUR THURSDAYS IS MISSING, the sixth in the series (following THE EYRE AFFAIR, THE […]Read On »

What is it with these big news announcements on Sunday? Oh well, when it comes to SUPERMAN: MAN OF STEEL, we’ll accept these super news items any time. Looks like THE FIGHTER and ENCHANTED actress will be taking on the role of Lois Lane and it couldn’t be a better choice. She’s got sass and vulnerability which makes her perfect for this Zack Snyder directed reboot. She will star opposite Henry Cavill who plays Clark Kent aka Superman. Source: Hollywood Reporter

Anyone who has an iPod, iTouch, iPad or an Android phone has been aware of the cool game ANGRY BIRDS. Using the motion sensors, you literally slingshot birds at nefarious pigs who have stolen their eggs. It’s a simple game, but highly addictive – and at 99 cents through the iTunes store, it’s been a bargain since it continually adds new levels and bonus games periodically at no extra cost. Heck, even ANGRY BIRDS: SEASONS was gifted to long-time users by the company last year when the Halloween installment came out. With ANGRY BIRDS becoming such a huge phenomenon it […]Read On »

After the Fox series FRINGE was moved to Friday nights earlier this season, it looked as if another season of the strange sci-fi series was a remote possibility at best. However, good news fans – Fox has given the series a fourth season renewal and Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly couldn’t be more enthusiastic about this announcement. “When we moved the show to Fridays, we asked the fans to follow and they did. We’re thrilled to bring it back for another full season and keep it part of the FOX family,” says Reilly in today’s press release. For Abrams, he’s […]Read On »

Exclusive Interview: Edward Asner joins the WORKING CLASS

On CMT’s half-hour comedy WORKING CLASS (airing Friday nights), seven-time Emmy Award winner Edward Asner plays Frank, a grocery store butcher who is gruff and blunt. In real life, Asner is cordial and thoughtful, but he still speaks his mind, as he has all his life. Pretty much anyone who has ever watched television remembers Asner as Lou Grant, who started out as the heroine’s boss on THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW and then, when that series’ seven-season run ended, moved over to his own hour-long newsroom drama, LOU GRANT. What many may not remember is how and why LOU […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Emily Browning, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, Carla Gugino, Oscar Isaac, Scott Glenn, John Hamm Writers: Zack Snyder & Steve Shibuya, story by Zack Snyder Director: Zack Snyder Distributor: Warner Bros. Release Date: March 25, 2011 There are some worthwhile ideas roaming around inside of SUCKER PUNCH, but like the film’s heroine, they are trapped several layers away from reality. Just to be clear, SUCKER PUNCH’s director/co-writer/story creator Zack Snyder made his feature directorial debut with one of the most compulsively watchable movies ever, the remake of DAWN OF THE DEAD. Although zombie movies […]Read On »
