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.

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/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.<p/> ``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/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/tv/story/1296956.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1296956.html Sun, 25 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Michael Jackson: This Is It (PG) -- High School Musical director Kenny Ortega, who was collaborating with the singer on a series of London concerts, culls a concert film and cinematic memorial (with some sequences in 3D) from the hundreds of hours of footage taped during Jackson's rehearsals for the shows. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1296341.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1296341.html Sat, 24 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Q: I have watched every episode of Sons of Anarchy. However, I still do not understand where the name ''Sam Crow'' came from. What did I miss? Why do they refer to themselves as Sam Crow? http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1291103.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1291103.html Wed, 21 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Bill and Betty Garcia moved from New York City to Charlotte, N.C., so their sons could grow up away from the grind and grime of urban life. Now they think they made a mistake. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1286154.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1286154.html Sun, 18 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT BIG SCREEN A Serious Man (R) -- Iconoclastic directors Joel and Ethan Coen (No Country for Old Men, Fargo) get personal with this comedy, loosely based on their middle-class Jewish upbringing, about a beleaguered college professor (Michael Stuhlbarg) who seeks advice from three rabbis on how to get control of his topsy-turvy life. As funny and bleak as anything the Coens have ever made, but without all the distancing stylistic tricks and irony. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1285305.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1285305.html Sat, 17 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Q: Whatever happened to Chuck Connors and Johnny Crawford of The Rifleman? A: After the series ended its five-season run in 1963, Connors starred in Branded, which aired on NBC in the 1965-66 season and remains a cult fave, and Werewolf on Fox in 1987-88. He died in 1992. Crawford acts occasionally but puts more energy into leading the Johnny Crawford Dance Orchestra, specializing in music of the 1920s and '30s. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1280622.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1280622.html Wed, 14 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Growing up, David S. Goyer once made a prediction that turned out to be a pretty accurate flash-forward. ''I remember telling my mother . . . that I was going to go to Hollywood one day and write a Batman movie,'' he says. ''And it happened.'' http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1279050.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/story/1279050.html Tue, 13 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT I was concerned last year when Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy began ripping one another's steaming entrails out in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, a rewrite of Jane Austen's classic novel. I was downright alarmed when the American cinema embraced the sensuality of rotting ambulatory corpses in Zombie Strippers. And I began marking off the days until the Apocalypse after reading the public taunt a friend left her brother while playing last spring's ubiquitous zombie-combat game on Facebook: ``I sucked out your brains and spit them to the floor, you zombie dog!'' http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/columnists/glenn-garvin/story/1320508.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/columnists/glenn-garvin/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.
