It was awesome! When I returned to the States I was able to locate the complete first season and am hooked. How many seasons were there? Can I buy them? http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1337764.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1337764.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:00 EST So much for the law of supply and demand. The last thing we need is more late-night talk shows, right? Well, shove over, Jay, Dave, Conan, Jimmy and the rest of you pasty-faced hosts. Guess who's come to dinner? George Lopez, Wanda Sykes, and Mo'Nique are hoping to add some spice to the chat cuisine. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1331837.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1331837.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 01:00 EST The list of Stuff From The 1960s That Doesn't Need To Be Relived just keeps getting longer: Beehive hairdos. Frankie and Annette movies. The Bay of Pigs. Fallout shelters. The Cowsills. And now the latest entry, The Prisoner. Though it would eventually be hugely influential, the original 1968 version went almost unwatched. AMC's new remake is merely unwatchable. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1331845.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1331845.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 01:00 EST BIG SCREEN (PG-13) -- Sandra Bullock sets aside the ditzy romantic-comedy act for this drama based on Michael Lewis' nonfiction bestseller The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game, about a homeless African-American teenager (Quinton Aaron) who is taken in by a wealthy white couple (Bullock and Tim McGraw) as part of a college-football recruitment program. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1344114.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1344114.html Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:00 EST BIG SCREEN The Fantastic Mr. Fox (PG) -- The always-eclectic Wes Anderson (The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore), whose movies often flirt with the fantastical, takes the plunge with this stop-motion animation adaptation of the Roald Dahl story about a fox (voiced by George Clooney) who must protect his wife (Meryl Streep) and kids from three mean farmers. Anderson regulars Bill Murray, Owen Wilson and Jason Schwartzman round out the voice cast. The animation looks old-school wonderful. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1324941.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1324941.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:00 EST American films have been wallowing in erotic voyeurism for, oh, about 103 years, since Thomas Edison's film The Kiss. (Edison's own review of his 47-second film: ''They get ready to kiss, begin to kiss, and kiss and kiss and kiss in a way that brings down the house every time.'') http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1324939.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1324939.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:00 EST When Maura Buete arrived home after a meeting one Monday evening, she wasn't surprised to see the television tuned to Nickelodeon. She lets her four children, ages 11 and under, watch SpongeBob Squarepants. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1322569.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1322569.html Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:00 EST Her face has, hmmm, changed over the years, but the way she talks is vintage Joan Rivers. ''Someone told me -- and I hate the term -- stars have very distinct voices. You know Cher, immediately. You know Liza, immediately,'' says Rivers, who performs Wednesday night in Miami. ''When I was a little girl, I picked up the phone and someone said, 'Little boy, put your mother on.' I almost died. Now, Chastity Bono would have loved that!'' http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1320508.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1320508.html Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:00 EST BIG SCREEN 2012 (PG-13) -- Disaster magnet Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow) returns to destroy our planet -- again. John Cusack, Woody Harrelson, Thandie Newton and Amanda Peet are among the humans trying to make sense of the impending apocalypse. Remember when Irwin Allen made those star-studded disaster flicks in the 1970s? Those were awesome. Emmerich's, not so much. But they sure look awesome. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1311682.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1311682.html Mon, 02 Nov 2009 01:00 EST Call the Chamber of Commerce Police. Weird Florida: Roads Less Traveled is an egregious insult to our community, a vicious slight of our importance to the state and our role in making Florida a source of national dumbfoundment. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1308421.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1308421.html Sun, 01 Nov 2009 01:00 EDT Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology for a better future that will include universal health care. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1308424.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1308424.html Sun, 01 Nov 2009 01:00 EDT BIG SCREEN The Box (PG-13): -- After the spectacular failure of his ambitious second film Southland Tales, writer-director Richard Kelly (Donnie Darko) goes the simpler, high-concept route with this thriller adapted from a tiny Richard Matheson short story, about a married couple (Cameron Diaz and James Marsden) given a wooden box. Push its button, and you become instantly wealthy -- but someone, somewhere, drops dead. Would you do it? Come on, you know you would. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1307797.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1307797.html Sat, 31 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Q: Will Chuck with Zachary Levi ever return to NBC? It was totally campy and fun. A: The network renewed the series for a third season, thanks especially to a sponsorship deal with the Subway sandwich chain. The network plans to bring it back in March, after Winter Olympics coverage. When NBC dumped Southland before that drama began its second season, there was some hope Chuck would return sooner, but there's been nothing official on that. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1303694.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1303694.html Thu, 29 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Let's be clear here: I am not saying FX's new sitcom The League isn't funny. I'm just saying it's not for everybody. If you're sensitive about deviant sex, for instance -- or even normal sex, if it's had in restaurant restrooms -- you might want to give the show a pass. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/columnists/glenn-garvin/story/1344114.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/columnists/glenn-garvin/story/1344114.html Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:00 EST BIG SCREEN The Fantastic Mr. Fox (PG) -- The always-eclectic Wes Anderson (The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore), whose movies often flirt with the fantastical, takes the plunge with this stop-motion animation adaptation of the Roald Dahl story about a fox (voiced by George Clooney) who must protect his wife (Meryl Streep) and kids from three mean farmers.
