Static Media “The Big Bang Theory” spans 12 seasons and the same number of years, so we have to face some facts here: some of the episodes are bound to be total stinkers. Certainly, a few episodes in “The Big Bang Theory’s” storied history can compete for […]
MGM Television It’s been a few years since sci-fi fans have gotten a new “Stargate” series, and much longer since the franchise was on the big screen. While the “Stargate” franchise originated with Roland Emmerich’s 1994 film of the same name, it’s now known primarily for its much-loved series […]
Shout! Studios In a bit of surprising but quite possibly welcome news (depending on who you ask), one of the most controversial and infamous horror movies of the 1980s is getting a reboot. “Silent Night, Deadly Night,” the Christmas slasher focused on a guy dressed up as […]

Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Election Day, aka the most fraught, divisive, and anxiety-inducing time of American politics, is almost upon us once again … and Hollywood, as always, tends to offer up the perfect distraction (like this past episode of “SNL”). Then again, I suppose that depends […]
Macall Polay/HBO Warning: This article contains spoilers for the latest episode of “The Penguin.” If there’s any cable network that understands the age-old trope that even the biggest villains oftentimes consider themselves the hero of their own story, it’d be HBO.
