We Didn't Watch The Emmy's, Here's What We Missed...
 It was a historic night for the Emmy's, and we're pretty sure no one, including us, saw any of it...Due to the usual record-breaking low ratings this show gets, it was probably lost on the country that Emmy history was made by Don Draper and the rest of the "Mad Men," who took home the Best Drama prize for AMC. This marks the only time a basic cable show has won a "Best" Series award.Other highlights, according to sources who actually witnessed the program:1) Ed McMahon sai

Shirley Manson Takes Inspiration From Glenn Close, Margaret Thatcher For 'Terminator' Role
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- In the late '90s, flame-haired Scottish singer Shirley Manson ruled the alt-rock charts with her band, Garbage. Though she's still working on music - a solo record she hopes to record later this year - FOX recently snapped her up to play CEO Catherine Weaver (and the menacing T-1000, when duty calls) in "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles."Making the move from impassioned frontwoman to actress has been inspiring for Shirley. But to play the role of the bad terminator (that's on t

DVD Review: 101 Dalmatians (1996)
In this 1996 Disney offering, the studio dug into their animated back catalog to make a live-action version that was very faithful to their 1961 hit 101 Dalmatians. As with the original, Roger (Jeff Daniels) and Anita (Joely Richardson) are thrown together when their dalmatians Pongo and Perdy fall in love and then play matchmaker with their owners. The foursome soon become a happy family living in their cozy London flat, with Perdy expecting puppies. Unfortunately, the evil, eccentric Cruella DeVil (Glen

TV review: 'Canterbury's Law'
For those of us who consider the tough-talking dame battling fear and other demons to be among America's most valuable natural resources, it's been a pretty good year for television. First there was the return of "The Closer" and Kyra Sedgwick's personally fragile but professionally tough homicide detective. TNT also gave us "Saving Grace," Holly Hunter as another dogged detective with personal issues, though these were more along the hard-bitten sex-booze-and-cigarettes line. Over at FX, Glenn Close and

And the 2008 Actress Emmy Winners Are…
Let’s get right to the list of lucky ladies who took home shiny statuettes at the end of Sunday’s 60th Primetime Emmys ceremony. I think the actresses selected represent a nice, talented crop, so not many complaints from me beyond the usual annual grumbling about the thespians who were undeservedly overlooked all together. I must, however, give a special shout-out to the two guest-star winners: Kathryn Joosten (The West Wing) for her comedic performance as Karen McCluskey on Desperate Housewiv

Curl, Interrupted: Do Frizzy Coifs Equal Frazzled Psyches?
In the upcoming film The Women, a remake of the 1939 George Cukor classic that’s been re-imagined by writer-director Diane English, Meg Ryan’s hair could be billed as a supporting character to its gaggle of stars: Annette Bening, Cloris Leachman, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett Smith, Candice Bergen, Eva Mendes and, of course, Ms. Ryan. When we meet her character, Mary, she’s a kind of superhero suburban mom—stretched violin-string-thin between charitable committees, parenting and grouting her bathroom
