Red Beard Pities the Fools Who Missed The A-Team

June 15, 2010

First, let me apologize for that headline. I’m sure there are a million reviews of ”The A-Team” using Mr. T’s catchphrase. So I’m sorry for being a million and one. I’m lazy, it’s that simple. So this past weekend was the battle of the ’80s remakes. There was of course the first big screen adaptation of the [...]

Treme: Antoine Shows Us How He Uses His Bone

April 26, 2010

Last night’s “Treme” began with Antoine sharing his “bone” with a stripper from the club he’s playing at on Bourbon Street. But it’s okay, there’s “pride in Bourbon Street,” as they say on “Treme.” Last night’s episode took us further into the characters. We’ve moved past the character introductions where we see …

HBO Films: You Don’t Know Jack Fails to Bring Back Al

April 25, 2010

Oh Al Pacino, how I’ve missed you. I don’t think Pacino has made a good movie since the last time he partnered with HBO. Don’t confuse the last few sentences to mean that Al Pacino has returned to the days of “The Godfather” and “Dog Day Afternoon”, that’s actually just the opposite. Despite Al Pacino’s [...]

ABC Bans Lane Bryant Bra Ad for “Too Much Cleavage”

April 22, 2010

If there’s one thing the crew at We Have Beards love more than anything it’s women. That’s why I was appalled to hear that a Lane Bryant bra ad was banned by ABC. So I had to find out why. Fox was the first to refuse to show the ad during an episode of “American [...]

Treme Episode: When We Learn that Clarke Peters is No Longer Lester Freamon

April 19, 2010

I foresee the toughest thing for people to accept about this show is its apparent lack of plot. “Treme” is not like “CSI” or any of the other acronym shows. It doesn’t start with a murder that’s summed up nicely by the end of the hour. Shows like “Treme” follow characters not plots. I recently [...]

April 12, 2010

After months of previews and making of docs on HBO, “Treme” has finally arrived. Once again David Simon doesn’t disappoint. Simon, best known as one of the men behind “The Wire”, Ed Burns being the other, drops us right in the middle of New Orleans, which after watching the show I realize I know absolutely [...]

DVD Review: The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency

March 18, 2010

I recently had a mild debate about the rapidity of DVD series consumption. The debate happened to come amidst my viewing of The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency. The discussion focused on how can people today can watch an entire season of a TV show in one sitting? The simple answer is because it’s fun. [...]

3 TV Miniseries You Have to See

March 14, 2010

I’m patiently waiting for The Pacific to start on HBO. I’ve been bombarded with ads for months. I remember watching Band of Brothers years ago and so I know that The Pacific will likely live up to that standard of excellence if not surpass it. As I wait though, I wondered what other …

Ricky Gervais, The Holocaust, Child Abuse, Necrophilia and Elmo

February 13, 2010

I’m a little behind on this one. It was posted in March of last year and 1.7 million people have already watched it, but whatever. I don’t care. I just found it and I thought it was funny. Only Ricky Gervais could go on Sesame Street and mention the Holocaust and necrophilia and still get [...]
