Introducing Buzz's Downloadable Entertainment Planner!

BuzzSugar — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 12:30:08 -0700

With so much entertainment out there these days, it can be a pain to have to remember when your favorite artists are releasing their next albums and when the season's most-anticipated movies are hitting the big screen. But don't worry: BuzzSugar's got your back.

Today, I'm introducing my brand-spankin'-new, downloadable, printable entertainment planner! For each month, I'll give you a rundown of the biggest albums hitting stores on Tuesdays and the movies coming to the big screen on Fridays. I've rounded up the dates for April and May in this first installment, so just click here to get your copy! Then print it out, hang it somewhere nice, and say goodbye to those entertainment-related "man, I knew I was supposed to do something today" forehead-slapping moments.

Correction: The Rainn Wilson comedy The Rocker was erroneously listed on the April calendar. The release date for The Rocker is actually August 1. I'm sorry for any confusion!

BuzzSugar's Guide to Post-Strike TV

BuzzSugar — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 08:30:00 -0800

So, the writers' strike is dunzo - but that doesn't mean we're getting our shows back right away. It generally will take between four and six weeks to get a comedy back on the air, while dramas will need six to eight. CBS became the first network to announce when its shows will return, and NBC followed soon after. Add that to the premieres and finales we already knew about, and we've got ourselves a calendar!

More than usual, this information is subject to change, especially for all the networks that haven't formally announced their dates yet. Furthermore, some of the shows currently marked as having finales might be returning later in the season - where possible, I've tried to note how many episodes are planned for them. I'll be updating this continuously as we get more info about biggies like Gossip Girl and Grey's.

Announced post-strike premieres and return dates, so far:

FEBRUARY 15
Finales: Las Vegas, Psych

FEBRUARY 17
Finales: American Gladiators, Cold Case (returns later this season), Brothers & Sisters (expected to return, date TBD)
Premieres: Knight Rider, Dexter (on CBS)

FEBRUARY 18
Premieres: My Dad is Better than Your Dad, Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious

FEBRUARY 19

2012: Apocalyptic Good Times

BuzzSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 05:30:00 -0800

In terms of end-of-the-world movies, 2012 packs it all - a love story, teary family moments, action-packed adventure, over-the-top-CGI, and a ton of recycled film cliches - in a two and a half hour package. That's lengthy by today's standards, but I wasn't bored for a minute. This is pure escapist entertainment.

The film opens in 2009 as a scientist in India and his American associate Adrian Helmsley (Chiwetel Ejiofor) discover that the Earth's core is overheating. His forecast: Tectonic plates will shift, thereby causing a worldwide catastrophe that will wipe out the human race.

Dun, dun, dun! (Doesn't take long to pull you in, does it?) To hear my full assessment, read more.

The real action goes down three years later in 2012 when, according to the Mayan calendar, the Earth will reach its end. The entire So-Cal coast starts crumbling, so our hero Jackson Curtis (John Cusack) and his family begin a journey to China where the governments around the world have supposedly assembled spaceships to carry select humans to safety.

What? You expected this to be plausible?

Of course not, but the film does include tons of cool CGI - volcanos, snow storms, giant tsunamis. It's like every disaster movie you've ever watched combined. (That should come as no surprise seeing as how the director is Roland Emmerich who created The Day After Tomorrow, Independence Day, and Godzilla.)

As for the characters, we've seen them all stereotyped in other films before, but they're still enjoyable here. (Even though I admittedly winced over a Russian family complete with a fur coat, tiny dog, and an employee named Sasha.) This is thanks to the actors who play their parts with believability, even when the scenes feel ridiculous. Ejiofor portrays a great bleeding heart swept up in a governmental plan that's looking out for No. 1, and Cusack pulls off his father role without being over-the-top or sappy. Also, watch for Woody Harrelson as a nutty conspiracy theorist living in Yellowstone National Park.

2012 is purely meant to be fun, and it succeeds. There's a constant barrage of cliff-hanger moments that never let up, and though you pretty much know where things are headed, it's easy to get sucked in.

(Don't forget that if you see a movie that you'd like to review, you can post your write-up in the Movie Review Group in Community - I may even post it here on the site!)
