Your New Best Friend, ‘Wilfred’
Posted by: | Comments
Originally an Australian TV show, the American adaptation of Wilfred has brought a unique, witty, disgustingly awesome humor to the summer television lineup on FX. Elijah Wood plays Ryan — a recently single, young professional who has been thrown into depression after losing his job as a successful lawyer. Ryan is ready to call it quits when his attractive neighbor Jenna (Fiona Gubelmann), and her dog Wilfred (Jason Gann), come over to greet him in the midst of his suicide attempt. Instead of seeing an actual dog, Ryan sees a middle-aged man in a dog suit, that talks to him in an Australian accent. Ryan quickly comes to terms with the fact that he is the only human being able to talk to Wilfred — as well as indulge in ridiculous activities like bong smoking and beer drinking, all the while getting in trouble with “man’s best friend”.
The ‘In Time’ Trailer Has Me Believing in Justin Timberlake

Get used to Justin Timberlake as a male lead in movies. His first effort, the enjoyable Friends With Benefits, was special because of his chemistry with Mila Kunis. Now JT is taking on a futuristic action flick. I love a movie that imagines a drastically different future — the human race not being able to age past the age of 25 sounds pretty crazy right?

‘Game of Thrones’ – The 2011 Television Triumph
Posted by: | Comments
Any skepticism I had about Game of Thrones making it as a television series has been layed to rest. The show has been a thrilling success–it has enticed viewers in the same fashion that the book series captivated readers with its characters, complexity, and charisma. In fact, from what I have gathered many people who have not read the books are loving this HBO series. That is something worth celebrating a horn of wine over, while sitting at a long table in a world like Westeros. We can only imagine, and allow this TV show and the novels put us in the imaginary realm. The show is truly unlike any other fantasy you will ever watch–and now that episode 9 has left everyone in shock, waiting for some sort of release over the atrocity in King’s Landing, it is time to examine the gritty awesomeness of Game of Thrones.

HBO Playing a ‘Game of Thrones’ in April
Posted by: | Comments
HBO is launching a new series in April called Game of Thrones. The television series is based off a series of books called A Song of Ice and Fire, written by New York Times best selling fantasy novelist George R.R. Martin. Despite the fact Martin has only written through the fourth book of seven, HBO took on the production and has made mind blowing headway since the original rumors of an adaptation. Game of Thrones has the potential to be the best fantasy series to ever hit television with HBO at the reins. The fantasy within the story is subtle and dark, always lingering in the shadows of a cutthroat medieval land called Westeros. The character complex is harder to figure out than the politics between the Seven Kingdom’s battle for the iron throne. Only one thing is certain, “When you play a game of thrones you win or die. There is no middle ground” (George R.R. Martin). Hit the jump to learn more about Game of Thrones, view the show tease, and see behind the scenes production footage.
