DVD Picks of the Week: ‘Spider-Man 3,’ ‘Talk to Me’ and ‘No End in Sight’
“Office 2″? Why can’t I get excited?
TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello, who just knows more about TV than any healthy person should, had some rather disturbing news on his blog yesterday which, be warned, will produce lovers of “The Office” (of which I am certainly one) cringe.It seems that, rather than come up with any original notion to fi…
Demko’s DVD shelf: The weird, wonderful world of “Twin Peaks”
