Prior to the 2013 TCM Classic Film Festival, TCM will once again conduct a nationwide Road to Hollywood tour of local film screenings.

Mad Men Season 5 ReAirs

Beginning this Sunday AMC will start reairing Mad Men season 5. his Sunday is the 2 hour season premire at 7am et. Normally the show will air at 6am. I have to say it's an unfortunate time, but DVR it and enjoy.

I'm taking this as a good sign that there will be an announcement about the new season very soon. The Season 5 DVD will be released in a few weeks too so we'll have all the episode commentaries to feed the beast too. Fingers crossed we'll get season 6 in early 2013!

Hotel Transylvania September 28th

Hotel Transylvania open September 28th. My daughter and I were invited to a screening this week.

My daughter really loved it. She thought it was hysterically funny and not scary at all. We saw it in a theatre full of children and except for just a second at the very beginning of the film, which has a scary shadow and then gets funny immediate, I didn't hear any child seem scared.

I really laughed throughout the film too. It is a very cute film, and enjoyable for the entire family.

My only criticism of the movie is that it really is another one all about the male characters. There is the daughter of dracula but as central as her part is, it is all the male characters in the movie that resolve her issues. The male characters interactions take up most of the film.

If that sort of thing doesn't bother you than I highly recommend it.

Beekman Boys on Cooking Channel

The Fabulous Beekman Boys are heading to The Cooking Channel...SQUEEE! The Cooking channel will be reairing season 2 of the Planet green Fabulous Beekman Boys. If this reairing of the previous season is well recieved they will order another season to be filmed so make sure you tune in and tell all your Beekman lovin' friends.

I've been a fan of Josh and Brent from before the show even aired, meeting them at the Discovery Networks press panels a couple of years ago. They really are incredibly warm guys and their show is both amusing and delicious. It's like looking through a home design/cooking/marriage counsiling magazine.

The Fabulous Beekman Boys Premieres on The Cooking Channel Thursday, September 20 at 10pm ET

Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Dr. Brent Ridge are not your average couple. They have transplanted themselves from New York City to Beekman Farm in upstate New York, where they are raising 80 goats, two pigs, a dozen chickens and a narcissistic llama — and learning that the "simple life" isn't so simple.

Family Game Night On The Hub

Family Game Night comes back to The Hub Sept. 23.  It can be hard to find shows on TV that the entire family can truly enjoy. I think Family Game Night fills that role beautifully. It really is fun to watch together, rooting for the family and laughing at all their ridiculous antics.

This season introduces some new games to our kids, that are old favorites from our childhood. The new format allows more families to participate as some portions of the shows games have 2 or 3 family member team games.

Still with all the changes, the show holds on to it's high energy and of course it money machine that spews money out to the contestants.
