April 28, 2009 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

by haro1d We’re in the home stretch, folks, and the plot turns keep on comin’. But we must have a ways to go, because they have to get to Peyton going into labor in the season finale so they can create the “live or die” syndrome that will keep up the suspense in the off season … unless they decide that she’s going to be pregnant and on bedrest for the rest of the series. Anyway, here’s the rundown of last night’s disasters: The episode opens with Peyton going stir crazy from being on bed rest. Lucas comes to check […]

“How I Met Your Mother” Recap: The Three Days Rule

April 28, 2009 Channel Guide Staff 4

By Mike Frey Synopsis: Ted has just met a girl named Holli and he wants to call her just moments after she leaves MacLaren’s. He thinks it would be cute, but Barney and Marshall — and apparently Jesus — want him to wait the appropriate three days before calling. It’s the Three Days Rule, which, according to Barney, Christ created right before inventing the high five. Ted tries to establish his own “I Like Her, I Call Her” rule, but let’s just say that Ted is no Jesus. Barney and Marshall make him promise that he won’t call Holli until […]

The End Is Near!

April 24, 2009 Jeff Pfeiffer Comments Off

By RabbitEars With all the bad news going on in the world today, you can’t really blame people if they are a little pessimistic about the environment, the economy, politics and pretty much anything else. But you can blame networks that fuel the fears in the name of ratings. It’s not really a surprise, though; in times of crisis, movies and TV often reflect and play upon terrors of the time, whether it was the atomic monster flicks of the ’50s or the eco-horror films of the ’70s. Today is no different, and in the next few months a slate […]

“24” Day 7, Hour 18: Yep, Larry’s Dead

April 24, 2009 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

By Elaine B Lesson Learned: Never assume you have any idea what’s going to happen next week. There is that wonderful exchange in The Dark Knight in which Alfred and Bruce Wayne are discussing the Joker. Bruce is wondering what motivates the villain and Alfred says, “Some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.” I have a feeling that is where Tony is at in this season of 24. He may think it’s all about the money, but it’s way more […]

Five Fabulous Flicks

April 24, 2009 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

There’s a worthy film for every night of your week. Here are our picks for April 26-30. Remember, all airtimes are ET. April 26 The Night of the Hunter (1955) “Leeeaning … leeeaning …” Never has a Protestant hymn been so creepy. Robert Mitchum stars as the preacher with LOVE and HATE tattooed on his fists and an agenda from a place a little south of heaven. TCM, 6pm ET April 27 Sabrina (1995) Nothing will replace Holden, Bogey and Hepburn in the original, but this Sydney Pollack-directed remake appropriately casts Harrison Ford as the uptight stuffed shirt who gets […]
