Cyber Monday Discounts On Movies And Movie-Related Merchandise

18 hours ago | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Cyber Monday isn't a dirty celebration as the name implies, though it is an excellent opportunity to get some good deals. The electronic answer to Black Friday, Cyber Monday falls on the Monday after Thanksgiving, offering holiday shoppers an avenue to buy products without having to fruitlessly brave the jam-packed malls nationwide. All you need is your computer, an Internet connection and some cash — and the know-how to sniff out a good deal when you see one, of course.

While there's nothing I can do to help you in the funds department, I've got you covered in terms of finding the right deals for movie-related goodies. There's no shortage of excellent shopping opportunities today, but if I was a spending man — which I'm not, but feel free to get me a gift — I'd look into the following Cyber Monday deals.

The Best Buy Ever:

Stargate Universe Ratings: The Story Unfolds

29 November 2009 10:07 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

When Stargate Universe (Sgu) premiered on October 2nd of 2009, it brought in 2.3 million viewers.  This included both parts 1 and 2 of the premiere.  Part 3 of the premiere episode titled “Air” hit the peak of the ratings ride with just over 2.4 million viewers.

After that, the numbers declined slowly but surely until they bottomed out on November 6th with the episode “Earth” at a paltry 1.6 million viewers.

I believe this decline is a result of the franchise fans slowly but surely giving up on the show because it wasn’t the light-humored and quipping series they were all expecting.

 

We’ve seen the scathing remarks in various articles here on Screen Rant, where everyone is getting a “hate on” for Stargate Universe. In some of your opinions the show reeks, it’s boring, there’s no action, too much story – there’s an interesting perspective of wanting to get rid of the »

Blu-ray Review: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 2

28 November 2009 1:36 PM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

With the explosive end to the first season of T:tssc all we were left with, excepting a charred robot corpse, were questions, and given the seemingly constant threat of cancellation most Us TV shows seem to live with it’s gratifying that giving T:tssc a second series allowed the creators to delve further into the Terminator mythology and spend more time in industrial labyrinths and watching things get blown up. And it looks beautiful in Blu-ray.

What I enjoyed most about the first series was the glimpses of the future world, so evocatively rendered in the first two Terminator films, and how the present is informed by our knowledge of the future world, and how the extended Connor family survive under the weight of the expectation that knowledge bought. Now with Cameron, the friendly Terminator, fizzing and popping a spark or two and her possibly sinister agenda is given more air to breathe, »

Wes Anderson Interview Fantastic Mr. Fox

27 November 2009 2:41 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

I absolutely loved director Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox.  The film is his first foray into stop-motion animation and it’s like he brought the genre to him rather than attempting to adapt to the genre.  Trust me; if you’re a fan of his previous work like Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, you’re going to love this movie.

As most of you know, Fantastic Mr. Fox is based on the best-selling children’s book by Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach) and it features the voices of George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Wally Wolodarsky, Eric Anderson, Michael Gambon, Willem Dafoe, and Owen Wilson.  But unlike some animated movies that cast famous actors to help sell tickets, everyone who provides a voice is perfect in this film.  Again, this is a great movie »

Fox Sets Dates for 'Human Target' Debut; '24' Return

25 November 2009 9:25 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »

Fox may have given Joss Whedon's Dollhouse the axe (the series will air its finale at 9pm, Jan. 22), but that doesn't mean it's turning its back on science fiction/fantasy. With ABC broadcasting FlashForward, V and Lost...and NBC still chugging along with Heroes (though this may well be the final year), the network Rupert Murdoch built on the back of The X-Files is anxious to maintain a strong roster of genre programming.

Fringe is presently holding up the genre mantle on Fox, but it will soon be joined by two new series, Human Target and Past Life, both of which fall squarely in the genre fold and both of which have now finally gotten official premiere dates from the network.

Human Target tells the cases of a unique bodyguard/private detective who interferes with murder attempts by impersonating the intended victims to draw the killers' fire. The series »

The Big Bang Theory Review: "The Vengeance Formulation"

24 November 2009 8:44 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

We're going to begin this week's The Big Bang Theory review by stating we absolutely hate Kripke and his stupid speech impediment.  Writers or creators if you're reading this, please just axe this character.

The main plotline of "The Vengeance Formulation" involved Kripke sabotaging Sheldon's NPR radio interview and to us it was just sad.  We've never seen poor Sheldon get so excited about something.  I mean the guy dressed up for a remote radio interview and had his mother listening in only to have everyone, including his friends laugh at him.  It was too sad for us to be happy about his scheme to get Kripke back. 

The only exception to this was Raj's many one-liners when came in with Leonard to comfort Sheldon.  Well, actually, Raj came in to mock.  We're not sure when this happened, but suddenly Raj has become one of our favorite cast members.  He's »

Review: The Big Bang Theory - The Vengence Formulation

24 November 2009 6:29 AM, PST | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

(S03E09) As soon as I read the episode info and saw that Kripke was going to be making an appearance, I lost all hope of this episode coming anywhere close to matching the brilliance of last week's. I was not wrong. I don't like Kripke. I don't find a speech impediment to be funny, and with him, it's completely extraneous. Sheldon could just have an enemy (I don't doubt he had many, in fact). You don't need to give the character this extra identifying mark.

So not only was I dismayed by Kripke's appearance, his practical joke was just mean-spirited and again, not something that I found funny. I don't like watching people getting humiliated. Sheldon dressed up for a radio interview. That's adorable, and then to not only be embarrassed for absolutely no reason in front of a national audience, but to have his friends laughing at him as well, »

24 November 2009 5:51 AM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

Black Friday is approaching, fellow readers. No, I'm not talking about some sort of economic free-fall or any apocalyptic event that we might see in 2012.

'Big Bang Theory' recap: Wolowitz takes a bath with Katee Sackhoff

24 November 2009 5:15 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Barry Kripke, you have made a new enemy. Not only are your bratty antics a permanent thorn in Sheldon Cooper’s side. Not only is your speech impediment transparently designed to make you more annoying, which therefore actually does make you more annoying in a kind of post-modern, meta way. Not only does your mere presence in an episode of The Big Bang Theory certifiably guarantee unremitting lameness. But last night, you almost single-handedly torpedoed the Big Bang episode featuring very special guest star Katee Sackhoff, known to sci-fi geeks everywhere as Kara "Starbuck" Thrace of the late, great Battlestar Galactica. »

11/23/09: The Big Bang Theory – “The Vengeance Formulation”

24 November 2009 3:44 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

As I’ve said previously, The Big Bang Theory survives solely because of its humorous components. If said humor disappeared from the show, its appeal would be nonexistent. This week’s episode proves this axiom, dropping everything appealing in favor of displaying its poorest quality: storytelling.

This week’s episode begins with a plotline appearing from nowhere; resident butt-monkey Howard is culminating his third date with Bernadette, a waitress alongside Penny at The Cheesecake Factory. Despite never being mentioned before, we are expected to sympathize with this character as if she has been a frequently appearing guest star. Worse, we’re apparently supposed to recognize her and her relations with the other characters without any sort of logical context. This is a grievous error on the part of the writing staff, CBS shuffled the broadcast order of this episode, or perhaps a wormhole opened and spat out this episode from another dimension, »

The Big Bang Theory Episode Stills: "The Vengeance Formulation"

23 November 2009 11:08 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

Tonight is the infamous episode in which the gorgeous Battlestar Galactica alum Katee Sackhoff guest stars on The Big Bang Theory.  Unfortunately for Wolowitz, Sackhoff will only appear to him in a dream.

Television's least successful womanizer will actually have some real life women problems as well when he desperately tries to keep Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) as his girlfriend.  Bernadette was the waitress Penny introduced him to in "The Creepy Candy Coating Corollary."

Meanwhile, the main plotline of "The Vengeance Formulation," will also see the return of Kripke when he embarasses Sheldon on NPR.  Sheldon will then seek to destroy his nemesis.

We have a collection of episode stills from the episode.  Click to enlarge of any of the following thumbnails.

Katee Sackhoff Talks ‘24′ and Starbuck’s Fate

23 November 2009 10:00 AM, PST | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »

I suppose I should disclose a couple things about me, in particular, writing this article. The first is that I haven’t watched the last couple seasons of 24. Furthermore, for all the fanfare the show gets, it prescribes to the same cookie cutter formula every season. That’s why I dubbed the show “twenty-formulaic.” Every season is just as good as the last; which basically means the series has been exactly the same since season two. Oh, I can just hear angry 24 fans starting to write emails to me.

The second point is that I’m still pretty angry from the laughable conclusion to Battlestar Galactica. Yes, I’m one of those guys who thought Ron Moore and company pretty much gave up trying to provide logical closure to the show in favor of whatever you want to call that mess that was the end of the show. Again, I can hear you typing. »

Battlestar Galactica alum Katee Sackhoff drops by Monday's episode to dispense some words of wisdom to a newly dating Howard Wolowitz — and soap him up in the tub too. "It's an interesting way to meet someone, getting naked and stepping into a bathtub," Simon Helberg, who can also currently be seen in the film A Serious Man, tells TVGuide.com. "I usually wait until after a handshake, but we basically popped right in there and did it — did the scene, that is."

'Star Trek 2': Casting Khan...why couldn't it be a woman?

18 November 2009 1:08 PM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Oh, how the internets loves its casting rumors. Today, the nugget that caught my eye came from comingsoon.net, who not only floated the idea of Khan Noonien Singh being the villain in the next Star Trek flick, but that -- "if they started filming today" -- Lost's Nestor Carbonell would be the deep-sleeping warlord who harries Kirk and Co. Of course, they aren't filming today, and comingsoon.net admitted as much, but it got me thinking: If they are gonna do Khan -- and I'm not convinced they should -- who should play the part? My answer: a woman. »

Warren Ellis' 'Global Frequency' To Be Adapted (Again)

18 November 2009 6:01 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

Warren Ellis' "Global Frequency" is making another run at the small screen, as The CW Network is allegedly trying to adapt the comic book series once again.

According to Production Weekly's Twitter feed, a second adaptation of "Global Frequency" is in the works courtesy of The CW and writer Scott Nimerfro. The news was further touched upon by Ellis himself, who wrote on his personal website that he hadn't "been cleared to comment yet" by the network.

"Shouldn't say any more until I get the nod from the studio," said Ellis. "But yes."

For some context, "Global Frequency" was previously attempted as a television series for The WB Network — the initial form of The CW — back in 2005. The project went as far as the pilot phase, with "True Blood" and "Battlestar Galactica" actress Michelle Forbes assuming the role of Miranda Zero, the leader of the Global Frequency, an organization »
