East Dillon’s New Stars
 

Joining Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler) on the new East Dillon football field this year on season 4 of Friday Night Lights are newcomers Michael B Jordan (as Vince) and Matt Laurie (as Luke). Both new characters are being advertised as charming but flawed and there promises to be friction between them from the get go. […]

  Season 9’s Dancing With the Stars cast was announced this morning, and the list certainly has some names to watch.   Most interesting on the list is Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. Really!?!   Other notable names are singers Macy Gray and Mya (the latter of whom I would tap as an early […]

Kevin: comedian of the week
 

Kevin was king of the diary room on tonight’s episode of Big Brother. While the good guys (Russell, Jeff and Jordan) celebrated as Michelle declared her allegiance to them (and plans to evict Chima), and the crazies (Lydia, Natalie and Chima) mourned Jessie’s departure (hands down the funniest thing I’ve seen on Big Brother since […]

Kelly Watches 60 Minutes
 

In a PVR mishap that left me with an incomplete episode of Big Brother, I ended up watching the end of a 60 minutes segment on Coldplay. I’ve always liked Coldplay, sort of, enjoying a song here and there but never really caring about them either way. I was impressed when Chris Martin made fun […]

Yet Another Unfair Big Brother Twist: but this time it’s a happy one!

This season he turned out to be a pretty good player, and fun entertainment in all his ridiculous narcissism, forced sarcastic tone and amazing love triangles. I can’t stand it when Big Brother, desperate for a clever twist, makes the game even less fair (mysterious […]

My Take on True Blood

Obsessions of the Week: August 13th

A Chorus Line: the movie– After watching this ridiculously outdated movie musical for the first time a couple days ago, I find myself wondering if perhaps we’re giving the So You Think You Can Dancers too much credit. Watch the dancers in this movie take on the intricate choreography and you’ll never accept a mediocre […]

Usually when I have high expectations nothing can ever meet them. Yet somehow, Better off Ted never disappoints me, and it certainly didn’t with tonight’s season 1 finale. The world of Veridian Dynamics is a ridiculous fun-house mirror reflection of our own ridiculous world. From kooky scientist Phil and his deadpan counterpoint Lem to the […]
