Good Luck, Chuck...Again


It seems NBC has their own Scrubs on their hands. Chuck returns from the dead tonight. It turns out in it's 3rd season Chuck will have new powers and friends to help him. I have always liked the show and I'll tune in.

Plus, tonights the 450th episode of The Simpsons at 7. A documentary immediatly succeds it. Sounds like a good night for TV.

Despicable Poster



Despicable Me is an interesting looking film coming out in 2010. If we're going by the 3 trailers that have been released, the film seems to be like Tex Avery and Chuck Jones cartoons. Above in the poster are the main characters little henchman, cute characters. I can't wait to see what happens in this film.

Blu-Ray Review: How The Grinch Stole Christmas Deluxe Edition



The Grinch is one of the many staples of the holiday season. Of course, Dr. Seuss couldn't have predicted that it would be so famous. And yet, today it is still one of the most watched Christmas specials in America, getting 10 million viewers last Monday.

In this classic, The Grinch hates all the Who's down in Who-Ville because of all of the commotion and noise that CHristmas brings. So, he sets out to steal it all only to learn that Christmas may be just a little bit more.

The Grinch's popularity can be traced mainly to Chuck Jones, who directs the outing. His animation department certainly evokes the original books drawings nicely and yet gives them Chuck's flavor. It looks nice and feels good as well. Of course, the solitary song in it (Your A Mean One [Mr. Grinch]) is a delightful tune and one that has remained a song that is impossible not to remember and has a nice rhyming pattern to go with it to boot.

The Grinch really does a splendid job and holds much better than you might think. If there is a defenition of a classic, The Grinch is one of them!!

Rating: 9.3 out of 10 or A
