Scream Awards 2007

October 31, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor

The Oscars and Emmys generally tend to ignore horror and science fiction films, but an event this month seeks to finally give those genres their due. Spike and Comic-Con are teaming to bring you Scream 2007, the second annual event that honors the best in horror, sci-fi, fantasy and comic genres from the past year, airing Oct. 23. The movie 300 tops this year’s nominations with 12, followed by Spider-Man 3 and Grindhouse with 11 each. Members of this year’s advisory board include, among others, Wes Craven (director of A Nightmare on Elm Street); Tim Kring (executive producer and creator […]

Goldilocks And The Three … Businessmen — A “Cane” Recap

October 31, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor

Posted by Sarah It’s a little disorienting to find Alex in Little Havana. He and Santo go into one of those places that looks like the cantina in Mos Eisley from Star Wars, by which I mean that everyone in it looks like they’re up to no good. Alex approaches a guy and says, “I know who you are and I know what you do. I want you to perform a service for me.” We flash to a hospital bed, where Henry lies all beat to a pulp. Huh? 24 hours earlier, the International Rum Awards are being held at […]

“Chuck” Recap: Chuck Versus The Sandworm

October 30, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor

God help me. But I am beginning to come around to the two characters that I thought I would always dislike on the show. Captain Awesome and Morgan. Too bad their characters aren’t gay. In the Brangelina way of combining names, I would love to refer to the couple as Captain Morgan. It’s finally interview day for Chuck, who is in direct competition with Tang for a low-level management position at Buy More. Chuck’s own boss wants him to get the job, albeit for purely selfish stress-related reasons, and tells Chuck he’s a lock for it. After all, as he […]

“How I Met Your Mother” Recap: I’m Not That Guy

October 30, 2007 StayTuned Staff

Posted by Mike Last week’s episode was the best of the season so far. So how does “I’m Not That Guy” try to top it? With John Cho, of course. He’s the guy who played Harold in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle — the movie that changed people’s perceptions of Neil Patrick Harris and indirectly spawned the awesomeness that is Barney Stinson. Without it, NPH’s career may never have come back from Doogie Howser purgatory. But anyway … The episode begins with Ted working at home to avoid distractions, when two big ones — namely Marshall and Barney […]

“E:60”: Not Yet Replaced With “World Series Of Poker” Reruns

October 29, 2007 Ryan Berenz

E:60 is still alive and kicking on ESPN. The third episode airs Tuesday, Oct. 30 at 7pm ET. Features on the episode are: Lost Boy E:60 correspondent Tom Farrey follows a young Sudanese, Macharia Yuot, on a journey that spans 7,000 miles and almost 20 years — a journey rife with emotional peaks and valleys. Yuot is one of the “Lost Boys of Sudan,” the more than 20,000 Sudanese children who were ordered to flee their villages during civil war to escape being conscripted by government soldiers or murdered. After a 800-mile trek and years in refugee camps, several thousand […]

Dexter Comes Unglued, And So Do The Series Writers

October 29, 2007 StayTuned Staff

At the end of episode 5 our hero is on his docked boat in the middle of the night using a UV light to find all the incriminating bloodstains so he can scrub them away, while somewhere above him a security camera is recording his every move. Are the writers really so dense that they don’t realize that Dexter is way smarter than that? OR, is his lapse of intelligence due to what happened to him earlier in the episode, when he began a journey of twisted self-exploration that ended with him confronting the man who helped kill his mother? […]

“Men In Trees” Recap: No Man Is An Iceland.

October 29, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor

I bench press my own body weight, plus another seventy-five pounds. I like to drink whiskey. And one of my favorite movies of all time is Fight Club. I thought I better offer that up prior to admitting that I watch a show called Men in Trees. Others must be watching it, since the show was picked up for its second season. But I venture a guess that most of them don’t have guy parts. Where are we at the start? Jack and the girl formerly of Family Ties have split. So because Lynn and her pregnant-with-some-other-guy’s-kid self have moved […]

Ellen and Iggy: You’ve Got E-Mail

October 26, 2007 Lori Acken

Okay, I forget exactly what day we’re on in IggyGate (and hey, Us Magazine, I called it that first, man, so nerny, nerny on you). But just as things were starting to die down a little, and life in Ellenville was getting back to dancing and presents, it looks like the über-sleuths of The Smoking Gun have unearthed a pretty authentic-looking email exchange betwixt all parties involved. And it ain’t looking good for E & P’s version of events. Or for spelling and grammar, in the case of the scorned hairdresser. Meanwhile, various media outlets are rumbling that the real […]

‘Scrubs’: ‘My Own Worst Enemy’

October 26, 2007 StayTuned Staff

Posted by SH Hope you weren’t staying up nights wondering if J.D. and Elliot would resume their ill-advised romance, because the suspense was over pretty quickly, and dispensed of like so much medical waste. As J.D. ponders their impending lip-lock, eyes closed, he opens them only to find he is kissing air. Eliot apparently moves very fast when there is romantic disaster brewing. “How did you do that?” J.D. asks, incredulously. A long time to wait for such a tame gag. The hopeless pair decide that their near-smooch wasn’t about their feelings for each other as much as their anxiety […]

“The Office” Recap: Local Ad

October 26, 2007 StayTuned Staff

At the start of this week’s episode, the office is abuzz — and it’s not just because Sue Grafton is in town for a book signing. An ad agency is coming to the Scranton branch to film a commercial promoting Dunder Mifflin Infinity. Michael is excited because he’s going to get a chance to show off the creativity that allowed him to imagine a unicorn as a 5-year-old, before he even knew what one was or could even speak. Jim is psyched because now when people hear he works at Dunder Mifflin, they might finally stop thinking he sells mufflers […]
