You know, I've seen a lot of clever "X TV Show in Y Minutes"-type videos in my day, but this one might be my new favorite. To promote the giant complete series set of The Wire, HBO has put together a summary of all five seasons of the series — in rap.
Seeing characters like Frank Sobotka and D'Angelo brings back all kinds of memories, of course, but I'm also getting a kick out of the lyrics — I mean, they manage to rhyme "his own" and "Brother Mouzone" at one point. And I don't know if I've ever heard a more concise summary of the whole first season than "the judge had heard enough/the witness goes down/the wire goes up." That about covers it, right?
To state the (very) obvious: If you haven't seen the whole series, this video will have tons of spoilers. But you knew that, right? To check it out, just read more
Movie trailers seem to be coming out earlier and earlier these days, so we've already gotten a peek at many of the exciting upcoming 2009 movies, like Confessions of a Shopaholic (Feb. 13), X-Men Origins: Wolverine (May 1) and Star Trek (May 8 ).

Private Practice has improved a lot this season, which has been one of the most unexpected developments on TV. Let's face it: As much potential as this show had last year, it was struggling.

Hey, Lipstick Jungle fans, I hope your New Year's celebrations are all over — or that you've got ample TiVo space — because the show returns tonight with the first of what could be its final two episodes.
When we last saw our ladies, things were all kind of tense in Wendy's marriage, with Shane about to take off on tour with Natasha Bedingfield. Meanwhile, Victory was going to propose to Joe, and Nico and Griffin were getting flirty. They were the kind of stories that made me wish we would still have a whole season to watch what happened, so I'm curious to see what the writers can pull off in just two hours.
This episode is called "Lover's Leaps," and according to NBC, Victory will be trying to use her artistic skills to whip up the perfect proposal, while Nico and Griffin are drawn even closer at work. Oh, and from the looks of this preview, there's some kissing in an elevator. To check out a quick preview, just read more
