TV Review: Hung: Season 1, Ep. 1: Pilot

I took a gander at the first episode of Thomas Jane’s new HBO series Hung and much like the first episode of the now deceased Rome; it was not as good as I had hoped. Its purpose was to lay the groundwork for the show’s premise and futures episodes. The pilot episode of Hung accomplishes [...]

VOTD: Taylor Swift Rap Video: Thug Story

Country singer Taylor Swift did a rap video spoof at The Country Music Awards 2009 with rapper T-Pain entitled Thug Story. I love the large platinum chain T-Pain is wearing: “Big Ass Chain”. An amusing parody of a rap video but also a commentary on what some of them come down to these days. [...]

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been Canceled

The Resistance is over. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been Canceled. Summmmmer, I mean Caaammmmeron! No! Everyone said the move to Friday was the kiss of death for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles yet fans of the show, myself included, hoped the show would prevail.

Keira Knightley’s authentic Women’s Aid Ad

When I first saw this Women’s Aid Ad, starring Kiera Knightly and directed by John Wright, a few months ago, I was amazed that something so raw would be allowed on television. I later found out that in some countries, this public service announcement (PSA) has not been allowed to air. This is unfortunate because [...]
