Just because they walked away with a statue doesn’t make someone a winner, nor does their lack of award make them a loser. I’m talking about who (and what) won and lost the night overall. Let’s take a closer look at the best and worst moments of the 2010 Emmys. Best: The totally epic Glee -style intro . Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey, the kids from Glee , and others managed to satirize Glee while still maintaining the show’s joyous spirit. Also, the Kate Gosselin moment was glorious.

Pilot Scoop: Blue Bloods

Tue, 10 Aug 2010 17:30:27 +0000

I’m totally changing gears here with the Fall TV pilots , and switching from my assessment of Hellcats to something heavier: CBS’s new drama, Blue Bloods . What it’s about : The Reagans have served the NYPD for multiple generations: grandfather Henry (Len Cariou) was the chief of police, his son Frank (Tom Selleck) is currently in the job, and Frank’s children Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) and Erin (Bridget Moynahan) also maintain law and order (as a detective and an assistant D.A., respectively). Now, the youngest of the household, Jamie (Will Estes), is being welcomed into the fold, having just graduated from the police academy. The family members butt heads, but ultimately try to help each other out when it comes to solving a hard-to-crack case. Where it works : The show has the same writing team as The Sopranos , so what more do you need? I don’t care much about the actual episode-to-episode police cases - that’s why you have every other procedural drama on television - but the family relationships here really hit a nice chord. The pilot sets up who each Reagan is (without giving away too much), and a surprise twist with a police conspiracy should keep viewers invested beyond just the first few weeks. Where it doesn’t : A couple of the characters feel clichéd, specifically Danny, who is the hot-tempered cop that’s not afraid to take drastic measures for justice. He has a sweeter, family-man side to help round him out, but I still feel like we’ve seen this over-the-top type before. Am I hooked? Definitely. I enjoy seeing the family interact (not to mention, Estes is nice to look at), and the pilot sets up enough suspense that I’m already dying to see the second episode.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World Soundtrack: What to Rock Out With

Tue, 10 Aug 2010 16:28:57 +0000

This week’s exciting, badass movie release Scott Pilgrim vs. the World brings with it an exciting, badass soundtrack . In the film, Michael Cera plays the title character and bassist in the band Sex Bob-Omb, and even though that band is fictional, their songs are not. They’re courtesy of Beck, who infuses original tracks like ” We Are Sex Bob-Omb ” and ” Summertime ” with real rock-star cred. The soundtrack features more of that from other artists too, like Frank Black’s tribute to the movie’s leading lady, ” I Heard Ramona Sing .” Perhaps the most download-worthy song on the soundtrack is one that’s featured prominently in the movie: ” Black Sheep .” It’s the gorgeous, addictive contribution from Metric (performed by another fictional band in the flick). The standout tracks continue: there’s a particularly awesome cover of Sade’s ” By Your Side ” by Beachwood Sparks, and the sexy ” Sleazy Bed Track ” by The Bluetones. The movie also makes use of previously existing songs that fit the tone, like the dreamy, several-years-old ” Anthems for a Seventeen-Year-Old Girl ” by Broken Social Scene and the decades-old - and achingly appropriate - ” Teenage Dream ” by T. Rex.
