Wheelchair-bound Robert T. Ironside (Primetime Emmy®-winner Raymond Burr) and his crack team of investigators including Detective Sergeant Ed Brown (Don Galloway), beautiful policewoman Eve Whitfield (Barbara Anderson, who won a Primetime Emmy® for this role) and ex-con turned assistant Mark Sanger (Don Mitchell) return to their uniquely designed SFPD office to help fight crime others [...]
No matter what the calendar says, today's the day the new year starts. Heck, most of us waited until today to kick-start our New Year's resolutions, what with the holiday, a Friday most of us skipped, a weekend... Why put off today what you can procrastinate tomorrow? But the movies march on, and now that all those limited releases are done (qualifying for the Oscars), we have a better picture of what we'll be seeing this year. Of course, there's the big ones: WATCHMEN (maybe): It's only
Is this what we have to look forward to in 2009?"Fasten your seat belt, it's going to be a bumpy night.” Margot Channing (Bette Davis), in “All About Eve.”So it’s out with old and in with the new, and now the bright, shiny New Year lies before us, just waiting to be unwrapped. Good riddance, I say, looking back at the smoldering wreckage of 2008 – but it’s useful to remember that things can always be worse. A lot worse, actually, so I’ll hope for the best while braced for the worst, and keep a j
Looks like Disney/Pixar will do it again with "Up," a bright, colorful, inventive movie coming to theaters May 29, 2009 (in digital 3D in select theaters). It tells the story of a 78-year-old balloon salesman named Carl Fredricksen (Ed Asner), who finally fulfills his lifelong dream of a great adventure when he ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilds of South America. Sounds great, right? Until he discovers a stowaway on the trip: an overly optimistic 9-year-old
Relative difficulty: MediumTHEME: noneRex Parker here. Not supposed to be here. Supposed to be on a plane somewhere over this great country of ours. Sadly, United has sworn eternal vengeance on me and my offspring, or so it would appear, and so I'm stuck here in Carmel until tomorrow morning. As with the trip out, we were very lucky - this time, we hadn't even left the house yet when we found out we wouldn't get to SF for our flight. I checked online and the United site said "canceled" and my wi
Entertainment Weekly points to 12 Big Movies for 2009 and provides some inside info and photos, with some familiar genre titles and talent getting prominent play. Both Dillinger saga Public Enemies and film/comics franchise entry Terminator Salvation feature Christian “Batman” Bale. X-Men Origins: Wolverine speaks for itself. Where the Wild Things Are will certainly have its fans in our crowd, especially if director Spike Jonez well-realizes Sendak’s art. Watchmen, again, needs no explanati

Happy New Year from Emulsion Compulsion! December 31st, 2008 by Scott Marks Have a great New Year’s, everybody. Check back later. I may have a few thoughts to impart if Dick Clark shows up Rockin’ New Year’s Eve. If not, I’ll be posting my Ten Best and Worst Lists over the next couple of days. I still have to look at Gommorah and The Wrestler. I’m told that Ed Asner and Vern Gagne are very good in the latter. 2009 will bring a new Scorsese offering and an end to the Bush regime. It’s about

Mary Tyler Moore is 71 today. On The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Moore played Mary Richards, a 30-something single woman “making it on her own” in 1970s Minneapolis. MTM first pitched her character to CBS as a young divorcee, but CBS executives believed her role as Laura Petrie was so firmly etched in the public mind that viewers would think she had divorced Dick Van Dyke (and that the American public would not find a divorced woman likable), so Richards was rewritten as a woman who had moved to t
(Pictured: Ed Asner, actor and leftist loon.)Actor and left-wing activist Ed Asner is the winner of our fifth annual Henry Schwarzschild Award, bestowed on a person in the public spotlight who, by his or her statements, displays contempt for the Jewish people, disregard for historical truth, a desire to sup at the table of Israel's enemies, or who otherwise plays into the hands of the enemies of Jews and Israel.Before we get to Asner, a little something about Schwarzschild, who died in 1996 and
For San Francisco film lovers, we are pleased to present this story from “The Moving Picture.” To go along with the new batch of Transformers 2 images, the folks over at Empire also have a new pic from Pixar’s latest animated feature, Up. It arrives in theaters in Disney Digital 3-D on May 29, 2009 and features the voices of Ed Asner, Christopher Plummer, Delroy Lindo, Jordan Nagai and John Ratzenberger.

Sorry for delaying to the point of posting five strips at once it’s just…oh wait, it’s that time of year I don’t have to make excuses.

Having asked last month in a poll, "What is your favorite to watch every holiday season?", I received 149 responses with George Bailey beating out Ralphie Parker for first place.

At the Kuersten house over the holidays we had, as usual, just the four of us -- my similarly childless brother (and hulking gun nut) Fred, my Orson Wellsian dad and Hitchcokian ice queen blonde mom. We're always celebrating the lack of rugrats with salty language and there's always lots of movies to keep the focus away from our own shock at how each other is turning out. Our choices are always unusual and worth documenting, especially now that dad has Tivo and is more likely to not subject us t
Former SAG President Ed Asner has an op ed piece in today’s Los Angeles Times. It could be seen as the counterpoint to Melissa Gilbert’s similar piece eleven days ago. The whole thing is well worth a read. Here’s a snippet. We can’t take this deal because it will destroy the ability of actors to earn a living. Not top-earning stars, of course, but the hardworking players whose faces you see in countless television shows and movies. I can’t in good conscience stand down and let that happen. A
