Modern Family Review: Dad vs. Dad

http://static.tvfanatic.com/images/gallery/cams-father-visits_60x60

Despite my adoration from Eric Stonestreet's Cameron Tucker, I was a little disappointed with the introduction of his father Merle Tucker. In "The Last Walt" Modern Family got a visit from the elder Tucker played by Wilifred Brimley. For an episode with a couple of different storylines running, unfortunately the dinner with Cam's dad was probably my least favorite.  It would figure that … [Read more...]

Kevin Feige Teases ‘Different’ ‘Iron Man 3′; Jackson Talks ‘SHIELD’ Movie

It will be interesting to see how exactly the Marvel movie universe changes in the aftermath of The Avengers. The next film in line following Joss Whedon’s superhero extravaganza, Iron Man 3 already looks to set a precedent by tackling a famous comic book storyline that not only breaks away from the narrative format of previous Marvel Studio efforts – but would also force the Tony … [Read more...]

Total Recall: Chimp Movies

In what's becoming an adorable annual Earth Day tradition, Disney will release the latest installment in its series of Disneynature documentaries this weekend: Chimpanzee, which follows the cute and cuddly adventures of an orphaned chimp who finds a new family in the jungle.

‘Night of the Living Dead: Origins 3D’: Motion-Capture CGI Zombie Horror

It was another sleepless night just a few days ago that I encountered Return of the Living Dead, an unofficial sequel to George A. Romero’s iconic film, Night of the Living Dead. Return of the Living Dead - which was directed by famous screenwriter Dan O’Bannon (Alien, Aliens, Total Recall) ironically enough -  was a shoddy followup to the original, setting it in the same category … [Read more...]
