"One Magic Christmas"

by MediaPhile@evpl on Monday, December 22 2008, 7:03pm

Everyone has favorite Christmas DVDs. My favorite comedies are "Scrooged" with Bill Murray (since all I had to do was look at Murray and I would start guffawing) and "Christmas Story" (since it is set in Hammond, which is where I grew...

The Dark Knight is way too dark

by MediaPhile@evpl on Thursday, July 31 2008, 5:16pm

SPOILER ALERT! This movie is about a half-hour to one hour too long -- it could have used some judicious editing. Once the relationship between Batman and Rachel is resolved (I won't tell you how), the dramatic tension is gone. They should have just...

What is your favorite episode of the original tv series Star Trek? Mine is definitely "I Mudd" . And I just found out that you can actually watch full length Star Trek episodes on your computer. Talk about instant gratification...... This is...

KA-POW!!! "Batman: The Movie" a campy good bat-time!

by professor.knowsitall@evpl on Thursday, September 11 2008, 4:26pm

I must preface this review with the fact that I'm only 25 years old. I did not get to experience Adam West's Batman during its bat-heydey in the 60s. However, I do have fond memories of going to grandma & grandpa's (they had cable!) as...

"The Day the Earth Stood Still"

by MediaPhile@evpl on Wednesday, December 17 2008, 4:04pm

I must have watched the 1951 Robert Wise sci-fi classic "The Day the Earth Stood Still" 10 times as a child. It was one of my all time favorite movies. So as soon as the first ad for the remake flashed on TV, I was hooked. Last weekend I forked...

Dexter Marathon!

by HRevvdon@evpl on Sunday, March 1 2009, 9:12am

I am hooked on Showtime's Dexter , and it is strange to root for a mass murderer! I have watched Season 1 and Season 2 in what amounts to a Dexter marathon over the last two weeks. I will have to wait for Season 3 to come out, but will be watching...

AMC's MAD MEN Season's 1 & 2

by HRevvdon@evpl on Monday, August 3 2009, 3:04pm

I just finished my marathon weekend of watching AMC's series MAD MEN Season 2 . This smart and intelligent series is great. The characters are fascinating and the thought to detail is amazing. The time era is the 1960's, and they bring the news...

"Dexter" season 3

by MediaPhile@evpl on Tuesday, September 8 2009, 4:42pm

The lovable serial killer/blood spatter anaylyst with a Code of Ethics (he only kills killers) is back! This time Dexter makes a friend! It is, unfortunately, Miami Assistant D.A. Miguel Prado, played by Jimmy Smits. Can Dexter keep his secrets but continue...

Has This Ever Happened To You?

by this.is.not.here@evpl on Wednesday, August 12 2009, 5:57pm

As a Reader's Advisor who sits under a sign that says INFORMATION I have had a lot of reference questions through the years. Have you ever gotten a "reference" question like this? "Do you have this movie?" You sit with breathless...

Pixar's "WALL-E"

by MediaPhile@evpl on Thursday, November 20 2008, 9:20pm

I was in Ahanheim, CA on June 27, the official release date of this awesome flick. I couldn't resist taking a photo of this giant WALL-E that greeted visitors at the entrance to the Downtown Disney Shopping District next to Disneyland. There were...

"Air Guitar Nation" cranks the make-believe volume up to 11

by professor.knowsitall@evpl on Friday, November 28 2008, 11:58am

How many times has this happened to you...you're listening to music and an epic guitar solo comes on. What do you do?!? You bust out the air guitar, showing onlookers the musical virtuoso you are. Apparently, air guitar is bigger than I realized....

As stated at DTV2009.GOV , "At midnight on February 17, 2009, all full-power television stations in the United States will stop broadcasting in analog and switch to 100% digital broadcasting." Is this gibberish to you? Do you realize that some...

"Chuck" is about a nerd that becomes a spy...essentially my life story

by professor.knowsitall@evpl on Monday, December 15 2008, 11:50am

In the television show Chuck , Charles "Chuck" Bartowski plays your typical 20-something computer-geek, stuck in a dead-end job at Buy More's Nerd Herd (a less-than-subtle parody of Best Buy's Geek Squad). He lives an uneventful life...

Australia with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackson

by HRevvdon@evpl on Thursday, March 5 2009, 9:21pm

Australia (2008) was a better picture than I expected. Hugh Jackman is decently convincing as an Australian drover. Nicole Kidman is ok the first half of the film and much better the second half of the film. I think Kidman is one of those actresses that...
