Do you wonder about the universe? I always have. Stephen Hawking does too, but he has millions in research grants behind his questions, meaning that he might have the resources to find some answers.
The Discovery Channel’s special, Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking attempts to explore the possibility of [...]
Tim Allen came back to television! And not just for Campbell’s Soup and Chevy ads.
He’s the patriarch of a female-dominated family on his new show, Last Man Standing. He is also an employee at an outdoor recreation company (could it be any more perfect? It’s like he [...]
So this is probably a really weird time to bring up a band that just went on indefinite hiatus, but I’ve been re-listening to ”You Forgot It in People,” the sophomore album of the now-defunct indie rock group out of Canada, Broken Social Scene, and wanted [...]
You may remember the highly-contested and newsworthy story of Netflix recently changing their billing procedures to split their movie rental and internet streaming business into an even more profitable success.
The company had hoped to separate its mail-order business from the online streamers, presumably in an effort to halt those [...]
Just days ago I recommended you check out NBC’s The Playboy Club. I even gave a short list of reasons, to make the argument simple and matter-of-fact.
Evidently it wasn’t effective, as NBC has pulled out of the show, citing poor ratings.
I’ll admit, [...]
So do you remember that movie with Piper Perabo, Coyote Ugly?
Well the bar owner with the tough exterior and heart-of-gold, Maria Bello, is starring in her own show this fall, and in my humble opinion, it’s great. Prime Suspect is [...]
I know you’ve seen the ads, heard the British man complaining, and shielded your eyes from the onslaught of glitter – but have you ever actually watched Dancing with the Stars?
I hadn’t, not until this year, and it’s predictably terrible. But there are so many upsides to the show in [...]
The short list of reasons to tune in to NBC’s new drama, The Playboy Club:
1. Beautiful Women in Bunny costumes.
2. The Mob.
3. Murder.
4. And more of those Beautiful Women in Bunny costumes.
There are more substantial excuses to watch as well – so far [...]
Considering I’ve watched most of the ‘reality’ programming that Gordon Ramsay has ever released to Netflix or Fox, I’m shocked that I never took the time to look up his IMDB page.
He’s in a freaking movie with a stupid title that just happens to be in the [...]
This may have been a straight to DVD picture, because I’d never heard of it before, but The Speed of Thought is a pretty decent psychodrama. Starring Nick Stahl as Joshua Lazarus (I can’t be the only person who fell in love with him watching
Welcome to Not Your Father’s Water Cooler!
You know those mind-numbing water cooler discussions about weather, pets and weekend activities? That soul-crushing small talk would be far less demoralizing if it included something you actually cared about.
Founded by two hoops addicts, NYFWC brings you the kind of water cooler chatter we dreamed of: a dialogue centered on hypothetical trades, basketball debates and of course, humor.
You'll also notice that from time to time we touch on other subjects. Whether it's films, music or pop culture, at NYFWC our goal is not merely to regurgitate information that is already flooding the tubes. Instead, we hope to provide thoughtful individual perspectives on the most important, interesting and entertaining topics of the day.
