Sorry to take so long to post a review of Office Romance but the film left me a bit rattled. This is a slight, amusing in spots, sweet in others, occasionally vulgar, ultimately forgettable, romantic comedy that premiered a few weeks ago on Netflix. If you are looking for a new rom-com movie to watch,
Yes, TV is Good. ABC declared it back in the ’90s in their press materials. Now Alan Sepinwall has used the slogan as the name of his new podcast, where he is paired with fellow critic Kathryn VanArendonk. I first met Alan back when that slogan was coined at the Television Critics Association’s semi-annual network
James Van Der Beek is best remembered for his role as Dawson Leery in the teen drama Dawson’s Creek (1998-2003). The Austin, Texas native, however, who passed away February 11 at 48, also has the rare distinction of playing a version of himself as a character on TV. That was on the ABC sitcom Don’t

The TCA’s semi-annual press tours, prized by TV critics and editors across North America for unequaled access to executives and talent, would not have lasted as long
“Memories,” the tune from “The Way We Were,” probably came back to many fans of Robert Redford on news of his passing. An Oscar winner as a director (1980’s “Ordinary People”), Redford passed away in his sleep September 16 at his home in Provo, Utah. He was 89. Redford, of course, is best remembered for
I’ve known Jay Bobbin for over 40 years. Over that time, the nationally syndicated feature writer has asked more smart questions at Television Critics Association press gatherings than any other reporter. TCA press tours would not have been the same without his FM radio voice. Today on Facebook he posts the following informed and comprehensive
