DVD Review: The Neighbors Season 1
On its surface, The Neighbors seems like just another gimicky sitcom bound to be filled with repetitious dumb lowbrow humor, but under that initial veneer we learn that The Neighbors might be one of the smartest comedies on TV. The Neighbors is a sonnet of buffoonery that holds up a mirror to American culture and shows us just how ridiculous and wonderful we really are.

Movie Review: Much Ado About Nothing
Leave it to Joss Whedon to make Shakespeare more fun than ever.
On a break from last years huge blockbuster success, Marvel’s The Avengers, when he was supposed to be taking his wife to Venice for the 20th Anniversary, Joss Whedon… made a movie instead. Shot in 12 days on location at his Santa Monica home, Much Ado About Nothing is simply this: a labor of love.
Movie Review: Man of Steel
Man of Steel is a re-imagining. Those who have a hard time with new takes on classic characters in stories that have already been told may have a hard time with Man of Steel. Those who found Star Trek: Into Darkness offensive because they felt too precious about Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan or those who flipped tables over the fact that The Amazing Spider-Man failed to include “With great power comes great responsibility” may find that Man of Steel is similarly irreverent about previous canon. This is not your father’s Last Son of Krypton. It’s not your grandfather’s either.
