71st Emmy Awards Winners: Live Updates

The 71st Emmy Awards–honoring the best television in comedy, drama, variety, and movies–are taking place tonight on FOX, airing live 8-11 PM ET/5-8 PM PT. The Emmy’s are following in Oscar’s footsteps this year by going without a host.  I’m hope this doesn’t become the future as it will put many comedians out of a job. There’s a shocker right out of the gate!  An animated Homer Simpson is hosting the show…or so we thought. …

Where’s My Roy Cohn? Lays Roots For Trump

Where’s My Roy Cohn? is a documentary on the guy who served as chief aide to Joseph McCarthy as well as being a mentor to Donald Trump. Listen, I think Matt Tyrnauer is a fine filmmaker.  He does a solid job at digging up interviews out of the archives and grabbing interviews for the film.  But when push comes to shove, is Roy Cohn somebody that’s really worthy of a documentary let alone a biopic? …

Downton Abbey: The End of the Road

Downton Abbey brings back many familiar faces while also having to serve as an effective conclusion to the six-season series. What brings everyone back for maybe the final time is the arrival of King George V (Simon Jones) and Queen Mary (Geraldine James).  As one could probably imagine, this comes with some stress for the Crawley family.  It brings on some added stress for the staff because they find themselves being pushed aside because of…

Supergirl: Season 4 Hits Blu-ray, DVD

Supergirl: Season 4 is now available for fans to bring home on Blu-ray and DVD ahead of the fifth season premiere on the CW. If there’s one thing to say about season four, it’s that the season also personifies what it means to represent truth, justice, and the American Way.  This season certainly wasn’t afraid to get down and dirty by offering political commentary.  Ben Lockwood’s Agent Liberty and his Children of Liberty are no…
