Final Nip/Tuck thoughts …

By Mike Sadowski | Published: March 4, 2010 | 0 Comments
Oscar preview tomorrow! Some lingering thoughts from the Nip/Tuck finale (all spoilers, stop RIGHT NOW if you haven’t seen it yet and proceed right to the screen shot of Jim and Pam): --I liked it. There were only two ways the show could possibly end. Either Sean and Christian would hope the first flight to Vermont to [...]

Leno-Conan fire still flaming

By Mike Sadowski | Published: February 25, 2010 | 0 Comments
Stay off those roads if you can! You’d probably feel bad for Conan O’Brien until you remember that he’s being paid a hefty sum to stay away from television. Good for him for figuring out how to get to his fans, and shame on NBC for not adding a social networking clause to the agreement it [...]

too early to start crowing avatar?

By Mike Sadowski | Published: February 22, 2010 | 0 Comments
I’m in the process finally of making my top 20 movies for 2009. I’ll have it finalized in the next two days or so. Today’s links: The coronation ceremony for Avatar as Oscar’s best picture may have been a bit premature. It hasn’t added a major award since the Golden Globes in January, losing to Inglourious Basterds [...]

the remake police are on patrol

By Mike Sadowski | Published: February 12, 2010 | 0 Comments
Still not sure how to feel about the We Are the World remake we’ll see tonight during the Opening Ceremonies of the Winter Olympics. It’s probably the perfect confluence of circumstances — Michael Jackson’s death, the Haiti relief effort and the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony — to bring it back, but it just has the feel of a song that shouldn’t [...]

grammy round up

By Mike Sadowski | Published: February 1, 2010 | 0 Comments
So I watched a decent chunk of the Grammys last night. And by decent chunk, I mean I saw about three full performances and parts of about three or four others. Some thoughts: --Does the younger generation even know who Stevie Nicks is? And when I say young generation, I’m specifically talking about Taylor Swift. Did they meet [...]

miramax dies too early, ugly betty is right on time

By Mike Sadowski | Published: January 29, 2010 | 0 Comments
Missed the blog yesterday, sorry. You can blame the Great Pocono Weight Race since it caused me to not get into work until 11:30, and that’s too late to write this. That means we’re in full-catch-up mode: It’s a sad, sad day for independent cinema. Depending on who you believe, Miramax either did or didn’t die Thursday, [...]

Since this is something people have been asking about for the last two months ever since the switch to the new blog host [...]

By Mike Sadowski | Published: December 8, 2009 | 0 Comments
Sorry about not posting yesterday, I was off, which makes it even more inexcusable, because I knew I was going to be off and forgot to announce it earlier. My bad. As always, I’ll try to do better next time. The links: Finally! A top movie list of the decadeeveryone can get on board with. No foreign [...]

Haven’t done a contest in a while, so let’s fix that right now. We’ve got some tickets to give away to the performance of Star Wars: In Concert at the Wachovia Arena in Wilkes-Barre. That’s the Mohegan Sun Arena if you’re nasty. Two pair, in fact, and we’re giving them away to PopRox readers starting right now. The [...]
