Movies have employed music for many decades, and there are a few films that have used songs to great effect. This is a short list of the best movie scenes featuring singing:
Cabaret - “Tomorrow Belongs to Me”
An upstanding-looking young boy sings a beautiful song that very quickly turns into something rather ugly. The fact that […]
Private Practice
Spin-offs rarely do well, but I hope this show will be an exception. One of the most well-written characters from Grey’s Anatomy has moved from Seattle to a small clinic that houses a sex-addict, a psycho psychiatrist, an ‘alternative medicine’ practitioner, and a loving-yet-divorced couple. Think of all the seasons you can go just […]
13. The Matrix (The Matrix, The Matrix: Reloaded, The Matrix: Revolutions)
The Matrix was the feel-good lunch table discussion topic in my High School some eight years ago, and its quite clear why: not only was there an excellent story (though we had seen it before in Dark City), there were guns and chicks in leather […]
Tell Me You Love Me (Showtime):

10. Back to the Future 1-3
Great Scott! I was a mere eight years old when this trilogy wrapped in 1990, but I remembered […]
A look at seven great television series ended before their prime.
1.
Arrested Development
was a wickedly intelligent show that managed to brilliantly intertwine the lives of nine family members into perpetual dysfunction.
I, for one, miss hearing that intro: “This is the story of a wealthy family who lost everything…”
With Lost coming back in February for its fourth season, we need a refresher to remind us what the show was all about in the first place. Therefore, here’s a biased list of the five hottest females from the show’s history.
5. Ana Lucia-Cortez (Michelle Rodriguez)
Ana Lucia was only around for a season, long enough to […]
A look at the men who have played Batman in film and television.
Adam West
Batman (TV Series, 1966-1968)
Batman: The Movie (1966)
Adam West spent two years playing Batman on the original TV series as well as the deliciously campy movie treatment, but never fully escaped the typecasting of being Bruce Wayne.
The original series was genius in […]
