I can't get that goddamn Daylight Savings Hour back! I've been sleeping almost an hour later each day, going to bed later each night and just feeling generally out of sorts. More than usual out of sorts. I WANT MY HOUR BACK! I'm glad Bernie Madoff (and by the way, it's pronounced MAD...

That's right folks! We're clearing out all of our most recent Netflix viewings in one mammoth post, right here, right now! And you're the lucky recipient of SAVINGS! SAVINGS! SAVINGS! Well, not really...however I may save you some pain in viewing or in choosing the next thing to view on ...

Wow...I didn't see that coming. Late last week I read a column over on EW.com that contained this 24 spoiler: "A longtime and much loved character will die while trying to save President Taylor." I immediately pegged retired Secret Service agent Aaron Pierce, brought in by Bill Buchana...

I would be hard-pressed to recall a better episode than the second hour of last night's 2-hour 24. I would probably have to reach back to the fifth season, or even the fourth.

Dear Gatorade, As most of my friends will attest--and a-testify, if need be--I sign most of my correspondence--letters and email--with a simple "G." I have done this for many years, so many, it's almost impossible to remember when it all began. It has, quite frankly, become a bit of a ...

The Last Enemy is a BBC mini-series which aired on PBS stations in the U.S. last fall, as part of their new "Masterpiece Contemporary" series. It's a science fiction-tinged story about the UK in the near future and an ID initiative called T.I.A (Total Information Awareness). This new f...

The latest volume of IDW's continuing series of comic strip reprints offiically known as The Complete Chester Gould Dick Tracy, Volume Six, is the one where it all changes. As contributing editor Max Allan Collins says in his introduction, one of the stories in this volume, "represents an e...

Last night's episode of 24 had one of the most powerful emotional moments in the series' history: The hospital confrontation between FBI agent Renee Walker and Jack Bauer. In the chase to apprehend Colonel Dubaku, Marika is killed when the SUV they're in crashes. Agent Walker made a prom...
